Show us your therapy space!

We know how much thought, care and personality goes into creating a welcoming space for your clients – and we’d love to see yours.

Whether you’ve recently completed a refurbishment, created a beautiful treatment room from scratch, or simply have a space you’re particularly proud of, share a photo with us in the comments below. 📸

Tell us a little about your space too – perhaps what inspired it, a feature you love, or a recent change you’ve made.

We’ll be looking out for some of our favourites, with the chance for one member’s therapy space to be featured in a future issue of International Therapist magazine.

We can’t wait to have a peek inside your treatment rooms! 🌿✨

Need a mid-week reset? ✨ A rare space has opened up in the clinic on Wednesday, 23rd September at 11.00 If you've been meaning to book in for some downtime, send me a quick message to grab it!

So glad that this issue is finally getting addressed. Though disappointed that this article refers to this massage therapist as a massuse.

Sadly I have had inappropriate messages in the past.

Bridging Clinical Care & Holistic Healing: My Journey to Independent Practice 🌿

​They say life sometimes pushes you in a direction before you feel completely ready!
​After qualifying as a nurse in 2003—and spending 6 deeply meaningful years providing Complementary Therapy within NHS Cancer Services—recent unexpected changes meant stepping fully into self-employment.
​While I have always maintained a sessional private practice alongside my clinical work over the years, relying on it completely while still healing and processing recent events has been a whole new journey. I am still adapting to the ongoing challenges day by day, but having this dedicated space allows me to rebuild and stay true to what I love doing most—supporting people.
​Having over two decades of clinical experience behind me naturally shapes how I care for my clients. While I am always learning, my background as a nurse gives me a deep respect for medical safety, complex health conditions, and conventional treatment pathways. It allows me to hold a grounded, reassuring space where complementary therapies can work safely alongside your existing healthcare—offering a gentle bridge between clinical knowledge and holistic well-being.
​To everyone who has offered support and kindness along the way: thank you. Out of difficult, uncertain times, gentle new growth can still happen.
​If you’d like to learn more about my integrative approach or book a session, feel free to send me a message directly. ✨
​

A beautiful reminder for a peaceful Sunday evening. No matter what storms you may be navigating, may you find a space of deep release, calm, and new beginnings this week. Taking a deep breath and wishing you all a restful night ahead. 🕊️✨

So delighted to share that I have officially received my Practitioner Certificate for The HEARTS Process! 💚
​I am particularly excited about this qualification because it fills a really important gap in care. Often, when someone is going through cancer treatments or receiving palliative care, even standard or adapted complementary therapies (like gentle massage) can simply be too much for their body to handle.
​That is where HEARTS is different. It is an incredibly gentle, feather-light touch treatment. It requires absolutely no pressure and can be done fully clothed, making it the perfect choice for individuals who are very frail, weak, or simply too exhausted for traditional therapies.
​It is completely non-invasive and focuses purely on comfort, easing anxiety, and bringing deep relaxation when the body is at its most vulnerable. It works through a beautiful blend of:
​👐 Hands-on work (feather-light, comforting holds)
💛 Empathy (a peaceful, supportive space)
🌿 Aromas (safe, gentle essential oils)
😌 Relaxation techniques
🪶 Textures (soft, comforting blankets)
🎶 Sound (soothing audio)
​As both a nurse and a therapist, being able to offer something so profoundly relaxing to those who are too frail for standard treatments is incredibly close to my heart.
​I am looking forward to bringing this specialized care to my clinic in Newtownards and to my community sessions in Belfast.
​If you have a loved one navigating a difficult health journey who could use some gentle comfort, please feel free to reach out. I would be privileged to help bring some peace to their day. ✨
​

💜 A Sanctuary Just for You 💜
​Step inside, take a deep breath, and leave the outside world behind. Whether you’re looking to ease physical tension or simply need a quiet space to recharge, my treatment room is ready for you.

While on Holiday I have been having some pet therapy from the hotel's resident cats. Here is one of them called Tigger. Getting some treats from me. 🐈 😺 A local charity looks after them. I'm now his favorite hooman 😆
