Kates Holistic Therapies

❤️ A little reminder from me... ❤️

Well, this week certainly hasn't gone quite as planned! I've had quite a few cancellations, last-minute rearrangements and even some no-shows, which is something I don't usually experience.

I completely understand that life happens. People get poorly, emergencies crop up, plans change and sometimes appointments genuinely slip people's minds. We're all human, and I will always try to be as understanding and flexible as possible. ❤️

However, cancelling on the day, just 20 minutes before an appointment, or simply not turning up makes things quite difficult.

When you book an appointment with me, that time is reserved especially for you. I've often turned away other clients who would have loved that appointment, some of whom may have really needed a little time for themselves.

And although I'm usually pretty good at filling last-minute gaps, sometimes it's just not possible.

I absolutely love what I do, and I feel incredibly lucky to have such lovely clients who support my little business. But I do just want to gently remind everyone that this isn't just a hobby for me, it's my business and my main source of income. ❤️

Behind every appointment, there's time spent preparing the room, warming the towels, getting everything ready and making sure it's just right for you.

So please, if you do need to cancel or rearrange, just give me as much notice as you possibly can. I don't expect anyone to turn up when they're poorly or dealing with something important, but a little consideration really does go a long way.

I'm not writing this to have a moan or make anyone feel bad, and I really don't want to become someone who has to ask for deposits or introduce strict cancellation fees.

I just ask that you please remember there's a small business and a real person behind every appointment. 🥰

Thank you to everyone who continues to support me and Kate's Holistic Therapies. It really does mean the world.

I have just had a cancellation for today at 1:30, if anyone wants an hours treatment?

Well… this week didn’t quite go to plan! 😂

I went into it thinking it was going to be one of my busiest weeks yet, but after 5 cancellations and 3 no-shows — definitely a first for me — it suddenly became a much quieter one!

Of course I completely understand that life happens and sometimes appointments have to change, so rather than feeling sorry for myself I decided to make the most of the unexpected time. ❤️

I’ve made a few little tweaks to The Robin Room, had a bit of a tidy and refresh, and I’m really pleased with how cosy it’s starting to look. 🍂

And there’s another little positive…

Due to a change in my circumstances, I’m now able to open up some additional appointments on Friday 16th and Saturday 17th October.

So if you’ve been thinking about booking a massage, Reflexology, Reiki, Indian Head Massage or one of my treatment packages, pop me a message and I’ll let you know what times I have available.

Sometimes a quiet week isn’t such a bad thing after all. ❤️

Just a little heads-up for anyone who’s been thinking about booking in during October 🍂🤎

My diary is already looking extremely busy for the rest of the month, with quite a few days now fully booked.

I absolutely hate having to say I can’t fit someone in, so if you know you’d like a treatment this month, I’d recommend getting in touch sooner rather than later so we can find a day and time that works for you.

Thank you, as always, for keeping me so busy and for continuing to support my little business. I really do appreciate every single booking 🥰

🔥🪨 HOT STONE MASSAGE IS COMING SOON! 🪨🔥

I am SO excited to be adding this gorgeous treatment to Kate’s Holistic Therapies! 🥰

But what actually is a Hot Stone Massage?

Smooth basalt stones are gently heated and used as part of your massage. The warmth feels absolutely incredible and works beautifully alongside massage techniques to help you deeply relax and unwind.

Why might you love it?

🪨 The heat can help tight muscles feel softer and more relaxed
🪨 Helps ease feelings of muscular tension and stiffness
🪨 Encourages deep relaxation
🪨 Can help you feel wonderfully warm and cosy
🪨 Perfect if you struggle to completely switch off during a massage
🪨 The combination of heat and massage can leave your whole body feeling loose, relaxed and nurtured

And with the colder, darker months creeping in… could there be a better time to introduce it?! 🍂🔥

Imagine stepping into the warm Robin Room, the lights dimmed, relaxing music playing, climbing onto the heated bed and feeling those gorgeous warm stones glide across your muscles… BLISS! 🤎

More details coming very soon… 👀

Who fancies being one of the first to try it? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Reviews like this absolutely make my day 🥹💗
Thank you so much, Michelle, for such lovely words.

Anyone else a little bit jealous of my next client?! 🙋‍♀️😂

Extra-long comfy bed ✔️
Hot towels ✔️
Calming essential oils ✔️

There’s a reason I call it the Bliss Package… and tonight I think I may have outdone myself! 🥰✨

Who else would happily swap places with my client right now?! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

🌧️ What are you doing this rainy Sunday morning?

My client will be tucked away in the cosy Robin Room, enjoying 90 minutes of pure relaxation with my Reset Ritual. 🍂

💆‍♀️ 60 minutes of Swedish Massage to ease tired, tense muscles, encourage circulation and help the body deeply unwind…

🙌 Followed by 30 minutes of Reiki, allowing time to simply be still, switch off and leave feeling calm, grounded and rebalanced.

There’s something extra lovely about having a treatment when the rain is falling outside — warm room, soft lighting, relaxing music and nowhere else you need to be. 🕯️🌧️

90 minutes just for you. No rushing. No demands. Just reset. 🤍

Sounds like the perfect way to spend a rainy Sunday morning to me!

What a beautiful way to finish my working day…

My final treatment this evening was a reflexology session, specially tailored to encourage deep relaxation and support a restful night’s sleep. 🦶💤

The Robin Room was dimly lit, Nag Champa incense gently burning, Native American chants playing in the background… just the most peaceful atmosphere. 🤎

Then I stepped outside after my client had left and was greeted by this absolutely beautiful Harvest Moon shining through the trees. 🌕🌿
One of those little moments that makes you stop for a second and just take it all in.
A wonderfully calm, grounding end to the day.
