Growing a human is hard work! 🤰🏻

Pregnancy can bring aching hips, a sore lower back, tired legs, tight shoulders and the general feeling that getting comfortable has become a full time job.

Pregnancy massage gives you time to take the weight off, get properly supported and let me work on some of those areas that are feeling the strain.

Everything is adapted around you, your stage of pregnancy and what feels comfortable on the day.

And having an hour where nobody needs anything from you is pretty lovely too.

If your pregnant body is asking for a little extra TLC, book yourself in.

“Why is one side ALWAYS tighter?” I hear this one a lot.

Think about everything you might do unevenly without even noticing …

👜 You carry your bag on the same shoulder
🤳🏻 Hold your phone in the same hand
🧘🏼‍♀️ Cross the same leg
🧑‍🧒 Carry your child on the same hip
🚙 Drive
🛌 Sleep in your favourite position
🧍‍♂️ Stand leaning onto one leg

Over time those everyday habits can contribute to one side feeling tighter or working differently from the other.

That’s one of the reasons I don’t just give everyone the exact same massage. If your right shoulder needs more attention than your left, that’s where we’ll focus.

Your body isn’t perfectly symmetrical so your massage doesn’t need to be either!

Massage isn’t only about aching muscles …

Sometimes you book because you’re stressed, overwhelmed, mentally exhausted and you just need everything to stop for an hour 😓

Stress can show up physically too. Tense shoulders, a clenched jaw, headaches, restless sleep or that feeling that you just can’t properly switch off … sounds familiar?!

Massage gives you dedicated time to be still, relax and let some of that physical tension go.

It won’t make everything on your to do list disappear (I don’t have that treatment yet 😂), but taking an hour away from the noise can feel pretty good.

If you need that hour, book yourself in.

Have you entered yet?!

Head over to the original post on my page to make your nomination!

Running the Manchester Half Marathon? 🏃

October 4th is getting closer which means you’ve got around one month of training left!

This is usually the point where the miles are building, the legs are working harder and those little tight spots can start making themselves known!

Don’t wait until race week to start paying attention to them …

Massage during your training can help you stay on top of tight muscles, support recovery and catch those niggles before they become something that interferes with your training.

And remember massage works best as part of the process, not just when something hurts.

If you’re running Manchester Half, now is a great time to get your pre race appointments planned.

Book online and let’s keep those legs moving towards that finish line🏅

Summer has been BUSY! 🫠

Holidays, kids, days out, long drives, different beds, more walking and absolutely no routine.

Your body has been along for all of it too.

So if your back is aching, your shoulders are tight or you’re generally feeling a little battered, maybe you need a minute before September begins!

No huge reset required, just an hour to stop and let me work on whatever summer has done to you 😂

September appointments are available to book online.

“I know I need a massage… I just don’t know which one.”

That’s okay. You don’t have to!! Just tell me what’s going on and I’ll help with the rest.

Don’t let not knowing what to book stop you from booking, I’m here to help.

What does bespoke massage actually mean?

Simple. I don’t give everyone the same massage!

Your body, lifestyle and reasons for booking are completely individual, so your treatment should be too.

We’ll chat about what’s going on, where you’re feeling it and what you need that day, then I’ll tailor your massage around you.

No standard routine. No one-size-fits-all.

Just the right treatment for your body.
