I’m a woman in my 40s learning, evolving, and supporting other women…
but I’m also not perfectly hydrated, perfectly rested or flawlessly consistent either 😂
I don’t have a 14-step skincare routine.
Some days I forget my water
Some days my self-care looks like sitting in silence for five minutes while putting cotton wool away before the next school run 🤍
And honestly… I think real wellbeing probably looks more like that for most women.
Not perfection.
Just little moments of care woven into busy real life.
That’s what my space is about 🤍

Are you the one who makes sure everyone else is okay....
➡️The one who sorts everything
➡️Remembers everything
➡️Holds everything together
but when it comes to you....
you're last (sound familiar 🙈)
and over time
your body starts to feel it
the tiredness
the tension
the overwhelm
taking time for yourself isn't selfish and you shouldn't wait till its your birthday or a special occasion.
having a moment is like a computer closing down all the tabs because there’s too much open at once.
too many thoughts, responsibilities, noises, decisions, emotions, and mental reminders running in the background.
Then after resting, it’s like rebooting — things load back up calmer, clearer, and your able to run properly again.
Like and share if this resonates with you 💛

This isn't just a treatment....
Its about how you feel
From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave
It’s about having time
where you don’t have to think about anything
❌️ No rushing
❌️ No doing
❌️ No pressure
➡️ just space to actually stop
➡️ feel calmer
➡️ to relax
➡️ to be looked after
and to leave feeling better than you did when you arrived 🤍
Everything I use is chosen with you in mind,
natural products
gentle treatments
nothing overwhelming
Just what your body needs 💛

Hands up… me included 🙋🏼♀️
We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own to-do lists.
I see it. I hear it. I feel it — daily.
👉We feel indulgent putting our wellbeing first.
👉We feel guilty taking time out.
👉We tell ourselves we’ll rest “when things calm down.”
But when does that actually happen?
Instead, it shows up in other ways…
🩷The ache in your shoulders that never really goes.
🩷The constant headaches.
🩷The disrupted sleep.
🩷Your body feeling heavy.
🩷Your mind racing when you finally lie down.
🩷Feeling out of sorts… snappy… burnt out.
And yet we still push through.
Somehow we’ve convinced ourselves that taking time for ourselves is selfish.
It’s not 🫶
You cannot pour from an empty cup.
You cannot give your best when you’re running on fumes.
Looking after your wellbeing isn’t indulgent.
It’s necessary.
Even if it’s:
• 30 minutes without your phone
• A walk on your own
• Booking the massage
• Saying no without explaining yourself
• Going to bed earlier
• Sitting in silence with a cup of tea
Small things. Consistently.
So I’ll ask again…
Who could do a better job of putting themselves on their own list?
Be honest 💛

Well… apparently this is me now 💚
AI has decided I’m a calm, organised, green-loving wellness character.
It captured:
• The therapy room sanctuary
• My love of Green
• The “you’re safe here” energy
It didn’t capture:
• The 47 essential oils I overthink before choosing one
• The late-night research spirals
• The quiet determination to always make my clients feel amazing.
Cartoon me looks very composed.
Real me is composed… just with a mind with more tabs open.
I’ll take it 💚 have you tried it yet ?

✨ Happy New Year ✨
I’ll be tucked up in bed well before midnight (wild, I know 😴), but before I disappear into my duvet, I just wanted to say a huge thank you.
To all my clients, new and old — thank you for your support throughout 2025. It honestly means more than you know.
I feel incredibly privileged every single day to support, help, and hold space for such amazing women (and to have some truly lovely chats along the way).
2025 has been a year of growth, learning, and connection, and I’m so grateful for every one of you.
Here’s to 2026 — I’ve got lots up my sleeve, and I can’t wait to share what’s coming ✨
Now… back to my pyjamas.
Happy New Year xx

✨ My Last Saturday at Ashbourne Physio ✨
After 2 years of working alternate Saturdays, I’ve decided it’s time to leave.
Today was my final day at Ashbourne Physio — and my last day wearing blue 💙
I’ve had the pleasure of working with such a lovely team and the most wonderful clients.
I’m truly grateful for every experience, every treatment, and every conversation.
Lots of exciting plans are taking shape for Nicola Brown Therapies.

🎅 As we move closer to Christmas, many of us start to feel the pressure building — juggling family plans, work deadlines, gifting, and the general busyness of the season.
This is often the time when our self-care slips, and we feel it in our bodies:
➡️ tension in the shoulders
➡️ headaches
➡️ disrupted sleep
➡️ feeling of being pulled in all directions.
This month, I want to remind you that your wellbeing matters just as much as everyone else’s. Even small pockets of rest can help regulate your nervous system —
🛀 A warm bath,
🚶♀️ A short walk
🧠 Brain dump all your thoughts onto paper
📆 Booking a treatment to reset your mind and support your body.
If you're feeling the strain, I'm here to help you pause before the Christmas rush truly begins. 💚

You know, since starting my journey in holistic therapy, I’ve met so many amazing women.
Some offer the exact same treatments I do, others do something completely different…
but what I’ve realised is — we’re not competitors, we’re connections. 💚
Each person I’ve met has brought something beautiful —
✨ Support
✨ Knowledge
✨ Kindness
✨ And a genuine understanding of what it’s like to build something from the heart.
There’s room for all of us, and candle loses nothing by lighting another candle, it just spreads light.
Collaboration over competition — always. 🌿

Today is World Menopause Day 💛
A gentle reminder to all women — you are not alone on this journey.
The hot flushes, brain fog, mood swings, and sleepless nights aren’t “just part of getting older” — they’re signs your body is calling for support, balance, and care.
What helps: rest, gentle exercise, hormonal balanced foods and treatments like reflexology, relaxation therapies, and natural skincare. I help women navigate this chapter feeling more calm, connected, and confident in their skin.
🌿 You deserve to feel good again.
