New Moon Massage

🍂✨ Happy Autumn Equinox ✨🍂

Today marks the Autumn Equinox: the first day of autumn here in the Northern Hemisphere, when day and night are (almost!) perfectly balanced. From here, the nights gently begin to draw in and nature starts slowing down, letting go and turning inward.

It feels like a lovely little invitation for us to do the same- to pause, breathe, reflect, and make a little more space for rest and renewal. 🍁

I’d usually love to be out somewhere beautiful watching the sunrise for an occasion like this, but after a full on week of caring for a poorly kid and teaching, my alarm clock and I decided that wasn’t happening this morning! So thankfully, my lovely friend Melanie Hickmore kindly shared this beautiful sunrise photo with me instead. 🌅♥️

A reminder that sometimes honouring the season also means staying in bed 🛌

Happy Autumn Equinox, lovely people.
🌙🍂♥️

I had a magical weekend at the incredible Blackberry Wood 🐝 with the wonderful Jing Massage , on my TOTO teacher training retreat. ✨

Delicious, nourishing food, lovely people and just the right amount of hard work, all while being surrounded by nature. Pure bliss! 🌿

I feel so blessed to be part of this family and I’m so grateful for all the learning, connection and beautiful experiences that come with it. 🙏

I’m teaching for the next two weeks, so if you’ve been meaning to book a massage, contact me for my October availability ♥️🙏🌙

I had such an amazing week last week at Jing Massage ! I learnt so many new skills, but the one I’m most excited about is…

✨ TMJ Massage is now available at New Moon Massage ✨

Do you experience jaw pain, tension, clicking or popping? Or perhaps your jaw feels tight, restricted or uncomfortable?

I’m now offering TMJ disorder massage, a focused treatment designed to help reduce pain and tension and improve mobility through the jaw.

During the treatment, I work with the muscles of the jaw, face, head, neck and shoulders, as well as using intraoral massage to access the muscles inside the mouth.

This is deep, focused work, but it’s also gentle and respectful of the sensitivity of this area. By working with the surrounding muscles as well as the jaw itself, we can help release deep-held tension, reduce discomfort and improve mobility.

For some people, this work can be truly transformative, even life-changing when jaw pain and tension have been affecting everyday life. ♥️

If this sounds like something you could benefit from, get in touch to find out more or book your session. 🌙

Well… summer is almost over! ☀️

And I’ve had an amazing one: lots of time with family and friends, sunshine, swimming, good food and generally making the most of it. My son went back to school last week, and it’s time for me to get back on it too 👏

I’m kicking off the new academic year with a flurry of courses (I bet you didn’t see that coming 🤣) and I’m so excited about all of them. A couple in particular are going to massively expand my skill set- which is good news for everyone ♥️

Next week I’m doing not one but THREE courses at Jing Massage!

✨ Positional Release - gentle techniques for easing tension and pain by working with the body.

✨ Ribs, Abdomen & Thorax - exploring the structures around the chest and abdomen, and their connection to breathing, posture and movement.

✨ TMJ - diving deeper into jaw and facial tension, restriction and dysfunction.

On top of that I’m also taking my Reiki practice to the next level and deepening my energy work with the lovely Tracy King 🌙

Then later in the month I’ve got a couple of TOTO (Teaching One To One) gigs, supporting on the Foundation Massage and Hot Stones Fusion courses.

So… my availability in September is limited to say the least!

If you’ve been thinking “I really need to book that massage…” this is your sign. 👀

🌙 Don’t leave it until you’re desperate- message me to find out my availability and book your September appointment now!

Best holiday everrrr 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇦🇹🇮🇹

So… I missed the solar eclipse. 🥲

We drove all day to the Dolomites, and when we arrived we realised our campsite was on completely the wrong side of the mountain to see the sunset.

We were exhausted and couldn’t face any more driving around trying to find somewhere to see it.

So instead, we walked to a nearby lake and had a really peaceful walk through the forest.

I’m gutted, if I’m honest. We knew when we decided not to go to Spain that we were taking the risk of missing the eclipse, and I really wanted to see it.

But I’m also very happy that we’re safe, together, and not absolutely melting in the Spanish heat 🫠

And weirdly, I still felt the energy of it all. Maybe because it was such a big day, even if I didn’t actually get to see the bloody thing.

Tonight is also the New Moon — a little cosmic reset, a chance to pause, reflect and set intentions for the next cycle.

So I’m taking that as my consolation prize. 🌑

Still gutted though 🥹
