MG Massage

A lovely, thoughtful gift from a lovely client over the weekend! ❤️

It was great to be back Bathgate Botanicals and it did me the world of good. I’ve now discarded the splint, and my thumb is well on its way to being fully functional again.

For the time being, however, I won’t be offering Swedish massage or Neck, Back and Shoulders treatments until my thumb has regained some strength. I’m fully able to carry out reflexology treatments, though!

Just in case anyone thought I’d lost the tip of my thumb — I only fractured the tip, and it’s still attached! I think I may have worded an earlier message incorrectly! 🙈

Thumb update! 👍🏻🩷

I’m back in the treatment room this weekend! 🎉

Looking forward to getting back and seeing the ladies at Bathgate Botanicals and creating a peaceful ambiance in the room for treatments this weekend ❤️

I’m easing myself back in with just 3 Reflexology treatments to start with and will gradually build back up to full days. I’ll see how the thumb feels after this weekend and take it from there.

I’ll be wearing the latest in high fashion surgical gloves 🧤on my left hand for hygiene purposes. It won’t make any difference to your treatment at all — it’s purely there to keep things hygienic while my thumb continues to heal.

See you all tomorrow!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has been so understanding and flexible while I’ve had to move appointments because of my broken thumb! ❤️

I’m nearly 3 weeks into healing now and I’m really looking forward to taking my splint off!

It will be approximately 5 weeks on 5th September, so all being well, I’ll be back at work then. 🙌

I’ll be keeping my appointments to a minimum initially while I build my strength back up — I’ve got quite a bit of catching up to do!

Thank you again for all your patience, kind messages and understanding. 💕
I’m really looking forward to seeing you all very soon! 🌿✨

Mary ❤️👎👍

Sorry to anyone whose appointment I’ve had to move. I’m currently wearing a thumb splint after a small fracture to my left hand! 🤕👍

Thankfully I use my right thumb for reflexology 👣 but my left hand is still important for supporting your feet during treatments, so I need to give it time to heal.

I’m hoping to be back practising soon and will be in touch if there are any changes to your appointments.

Thank you for your understanding and apologies for any inconvenience! 💜

Plan was to walk/run park run route but tide was out so decided to walk over to Cramond Island instead.

Good day for a walk. Stopped to watch the birds. Need to get a proper camera to catch the curlews and their long beaks.

A great article advocating for West Lothian 50 Plus Network, 🚴

🌕 Buck Moon Reflections ✨

Tonight’s Full Moon, known as the Buck Moon, symbolises renewal and strength. 🦌

It may be a bit dreich, so you might not catch a glimpse of it, but don’t let that stop you. Light a candle, take a few quiet moments to reflect, and let go of anything that’s been weighing you down ❤️

Wishing you a peaceful Buck Moon. 🌕💛

🌑 New Moon, New Intentions 🌿

Todays New Moon is often associated with nurturing, emotional renewal, and creating a sense of inner calm. It’s a time to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and set gentle intentions for the weeks ahead.

I returned to yoga last night after a couple of months off, and it was exactly what I needed because I can hardy move this morning !🧘‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙈🤩

It gave me time to open up my body, quiet my my mind and refocus. Glad its back in my routine 🧘🏻‍♀️

Also loved being back in the treatmenBathgate Botanicalsanicals last week. Feel privileged to treat so many fantastic people. Everyone brings something unique. Thank you 💚

Today is a good reminder to pause, breathe deeply, let go of what no longer serves you, and welcome fresh energy for the month ahead.

What intention are you setting for this New Moon? 🌙✨
