Massage bookings for January 2021
Hi All, This seemed the easiest way to reassure those with appointments that as we are in Tier 3 in Cornwall, as of 00.01 31.12.20, close contact services, which include massage & bodywork, are still permitted. If there are ‘health conditions’, they are even allowed in Tier 4 (however this applies to very few of you). I will take this opportunity to wish you
Christmas & New Year wishes…
Once again, I am stumped for what to say… The impact of this ‘episode’ has been so different for everyone, it feels trite to say anything, disrespectful to acknowledge one person’s position, when another’s is so polar opposite… I feel for humanity at this time & truly hope that enough individuals allow some deep learnings into their hearts, so a real difference ripples out
Still here… dealing with the loss of connection…
Online, in my ‘public space’, I’ve been silent, though I have had contact with my massage clients, by email, over the last few months. I have had much to say, but not necessarily things I’ve been prepared to utter ‘publicly’ given that this ‘situation’ has impacted everyone in so many different ways. I have sensed, from the outset, what was happening was a lot
Fully open for business again on 1st August 2020…
Hello All, Although I have kept in touch with my clients in various ways, some of you on my Blog Post list only, may not have heard from me for a while…. but, in honesty, I didn’t have much to say… I have been testing out my COVID-19 measures with a few, very willing clients, since mid July, after gaining a certificate in preventing cross
An Introverts Paradise….?
For many Introverts, this time is heaven! We’re at home, not interrupted by people, organising our own time, following our own unique rhythms, able to ‘pause’ when we need to & we have a genuine reason to say no to social occasions… absolute paradise! However, for others who thrive on social contact, this is a nightmare of deprivation, a lack of stimulus, time without people
Breakfast, but not as you know it!
I’ll own up from the start, I’ve not been a ‘student’, so I may be acting out some behaviours that should’ve been dropped by now… but… I am a lover of leftovers for breakfast! That could be pasta bake, curry, spag bol…or anything that’s around, including all the usual suspects! Also, I don’t always eat at the same time, I let my stomach tell
Silence
Some years back, a client said to me ‘silence is underrated’ when I asked about background music for their treatment… It was an unusual choice, as most people tend to go for some sound to focus on, as it helps them let go. But, I occasionally offer it to new clients, as often we are surrounded by noise & silence can be a blissful
Bluebells pushing up regardless!
Whatever else is happening, there are aspects of Nature that continue, & my bluebells are doing just that! They’re elbowing my cyclamen out of the way in their desire for light… I love that undeniable reminder of the life force that exists all around us, that energy that we can all participate in, to some extent. And, let’s enjoy it, cos right now, we
Appreciating, rather than being grateful?
If ‘gratitude’ doesn’t adequately describe where you’re at, how about ‘appreciating’ aspects of you life you may be taking for granted..
Lifestyle Tweaks
Surprisingly, lifestyle tweaks are sometimes more of what’s required to solve a physical problem, than the bodywork itself! It’s one of the (many) reasons I take time to fully check in with clients before starting the massage itself. Some of this is obvious, if external problems are causing stress, this will impact on your muscles, no matter what I do in the short term…
