Retired, active, but with some aches & pains…?!

If that description sounds a bit like you, perhaps I can help. I provide a mobile massage & bodywork service within 10 miles of Bude (though I will travel further if you cover costs) & can offer massage couch or clothed chair treatments at your home. Many people find that body use over the years comes ‘home to roost’ as they get older. Some

Working at home…?

I’m talking specifically to those of you working at a home office …. Many of you have been doing this for years, in which case your desk / work station may work well for you… but… do you still spend too long sitting in one place…? A lot is said about correct heights / angles etc but, from the point of view of overall

Caring for your body…

Yep, caring for your body is always top of my list… & that’s why I’ve been involved in holistic bodywork for over 40 years & watched trends come & go, both in exercise & in massage! Back in the day, I was running ‘exercise’ classes & gradually adding in awareness elements through my exposure to the Alexander Technique & then Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement

Looking for an escape…?

Well, if you are, how about 2 hours that’s all about you…? A massage treatment at your home or holiday let, can offer just that escape. After a full Consultation, we explore what background music / sounds you’d like & you choose the wax blend that suits your mood & needs. I tend to encourage this in an intuitive way – you will know when

Healing the damage…

The last 2 + years have wrought havoc in everyone’s lives, to some extent or another, & healing the damage seems one of my biggest aims right now – both in myself & in clients. This is showing up in people’s bodies, either directly from different lifestyle patterns, or indirectly through stress taking it’s toll as we have all ‘coped’ during the everchanging chaos

Stepping into the unknown…

Well, hello there, I’ve been quiet for a very long time, plenty to say, but not a climate to speak freely, it seems… Finally, I’m off to my new home in Bude & will start work again in January 2022. For anyone in the area who shares my view of fundamental health & wellbeing & would like support with that through the medium of

We have lift off!

It seems us massage therapists (& other close contact workers) have finally been allowed to offer what has been especially needed this year… & denied… starting next Monday 12th April 2021. As you can imagine my life has totally changed & the way I work, along with the number of clients I see, will also change, going forward. I will need to explore how

Dormouse approach as usual!

On reading over my journals from early last year, I noticed the ‘dormouse approach’ took much longer than I remembered. Partly, I think, because I had a bit of a lurgy after my London trip (Covid praps??) & had to re enter ‘dormouse‘, only to emerge, finally, around February! This year, I did my usual ‘taking stock’ of last year, & did choose my

Checking in during a very odd time…

This used to be a place where I could cover the topics that I would when actually seeing clients – ie the ‘add on’ to the actual bodywork, where, often, the changes really took place! As I’ve referred to before, it’s often lifestyle aspects that cause problems for our body, sometimes food related, sometimes exercise related (or lack of!), sometimes work, even partner or
