🎓 Oncology Massage 🎓
Case Study Clients Needed

As part of my Oncology Massage training, I am looking for 3 case study clients.

I’m looking for people who are:

🌿 Currently undergoing cancer treatment
🌿 Post-treatment
🌿 Living with and managing cancer

Each person will receive one tailored oncology massage treatment, provided at no cost as part of my training requirements, following a full consultation.

In some cases, permission from your medical team may be required before treatment can go ahead.

One of the three case studies will need to be filmed for assessment purposes. Written consent will be obtained beforehand, and the footage will only be shared with my course tutor as part of my qualification.

Appointments will be arranged individually with suitable participants and will take place in my private garden therapy room.

If you think you may be suitable, or would simply like to find out more, please send me a private message and I’ll be happy to answer any questions.

I’d also be incredibly grateful if you could share this post with anyone who may be interested 🤍

Much love,
Kelly 🌿💆🏻‍♀️💕 xx

🌿 A little behind-the-scenes update 🌿

It's been a slightly different week for me this week.

It began with a family funeral, so my focus has very much been on family and taking things one day at a time.

The quieter days have given me an opportunity to catch up on some of the things that often get pushed down the to-do list. I've been spending time revisiting my oncology massage training and continuing my professional development in an area I'm passionate about.

I've also been dusting off some facial treatment routines and techniques that I haven't yet introduced into my treatment menu. Sometimes ideas sit in a notebook for longer than planned while life and business move at full speed, and this week has given me the chance to revisit them with fresh eyes 👀

Not every week is about rushing forward. Sometimes it's about reflecting, learning and preparing for what's next.

Looking forward to sharing more with you soon 🤍

Much love,
Kelly 🌿💆🏻‍♀️💕 xx

🤍 A little pocket of peace in the Peak District 🤍

This week I visited a lovely group of friends enjoying a Peak District getaway together at the wonderful Lower Damgate Farm

The treatments had been arranged as a surprise by their husbands, who took charge of looking after the children while the ladies enjoyed some well-deserved relaxation. 💆🏻‍♀️

Bremen's Barn was such a peaceful space to work in. Just me and one client at a time, soft music playing in the background, and an opportunity for each person to completely switch off for a while.

In a world that often feels busy and noisy, there's something really special about creating a calm space where someone can simply relax, breathe, and take time for themselves ✨️

Thank you for choosing me to be part of your stay, and thank you to the team at Lower Damgate Farm Cottages & Wedding Venue. Dovedale Animal Sanctuary for recommending my services and providing such a beautiful setting 🌿🚜

Much love,

🌿 A beautiful day at Hen Camp 🌿

Today we had the pleasure of spending the morning at Hen Camp - Group Glamping Venue Field Head Farm Staffordshire providing treatments for a lovely hen party group.

With the temperatures soaring, we started early and set up in a shady spot amongst the trees, creating a calm little wellbeing space for the group to enjoy. 🤍

Between us, we provided a mixture of massages and facials, giving everyone a chance to relax, unwind and take a little time for themselves before continuing their celebrations.

A huge thank you to the wonderful group for booking with us. It was a pleasure to be part of your weekend, and I'm so pleased you enjoyed your treatments.

I'd also like to say a big thank you to Tasha from Shepherd's Rest Holistic Therapies for helping me today. It's so lovely working alongside you ✨

And, as always, thank you to the team at Hen Camp at Field Head Farm for creating such a beautiful setting. It really is a special place to work.

Much love,

A therapist's observations during a heatwave... ☀️

Yesterday I spent the morning with a client in my garden room before heading to Mayfield Snuggery Lodges for an afternoon of treatments with a lovely returning mother and daughter.

To say it was warm would be an understatement! 🥵

By mid-afternoon, the coolest place in the lodge was the bathroom, so yes... you guessed it, that's where I set up—with my feet firmly on the tiled floor. 😅

One thing I notice during periods of hot weather is how differently our bodies respond.
Many people feel more fatigued, sleep less well, experience headaches, become dehydrated, or notice they're carrying more physical tension than usual.

When temperatures rise, it's easy to focus on getting through the day and forget that our bodies are working harder than normal.

A gentle reminder to:
💧 Stay hydrated
🌿 Listen to your body's signals
😴 Prioritise rest where you can
☀️ Be kind to yourself if your energy levels feel a little lower than usual

As therapists, we're always encouraging others to look after themselves, but yesterday I was definitely taking my own advice, and will be for the rest of the heatwave 🥵

Much love,
Kelly 🌿💆🏻‍♀️💕 xx

☀️ Another heatwave...

I have to admit, 30⁰c is a bit too hot for me these days 🥵 must be an age thing 😅

With temperatures set to soar this week, Kip and I have been making the most of the cooler early mornings before the heat really kicks in. 🐾🤍

It's also a good reminder that self-care doesn't always have to be something big or elaborate. Sometimes it's as simple as getting outside for some fresh air, drinking enough water, finding a shady spot to sit with a coffee, or taking a few quiet moments for yourself.

As someone who spends a lot of time encouraging others to look after themselves, I'm reminding myself to do the same this week.

Are you someone who loves the heat, or are you counting down the days until it cools down a little? ☀️🌿

Much love,
Kelly 🌿💆🏻‍♀️💕 xx

✨ No two days are ever the same ✨

One of the things I love most about my work is the variety.

I get to support clients in the most beautiful countryside settings, sometimes for hen party celebrations and others can be couples enjoying a midweek or weekend getaway.

While a lot of my treatments are in lodges, holiday cottages, glamping retreats, and wellness escapes, I also have regular clients who visit my cosy little garden therapy room.

Every location is different, but the purpose is always the same: creating a moment for people to slow down, switch off, and take care of themselves.

I never take for granted the trust my clients place in me, whether they're celebrating a special occasion or simply carving out some much-needed time to relax 💆🏻‍♀️

I appreciate every single one of you. Thank you 💕

Much love,
Kelly 🌿💆🏻‍♀️💕 xx
