Three days into the Cancer New Moon cycle, and I find myself still sitting with the question she brought 🌑

Where do you feel at home?

Not in a house or a postcode — but in your body. In your daily rhythms. In the small, quiet acts of nourishment you offer yourself, or don't.

Cancer is the most home-oriented sign of the zodiac. She governs the hearth, the womb, the deep wellspring of comfort and belonging. Her new moon invitation is always to tend to the most fundamental kind of nourishment: the nourishment of self.

As the moon waxes toward fullness over the coming days, here is a gentle mid-cycle practice:

🕯 Light a candle this evening
🌑 Place one hand on your heart
🌿 Ask yourself with genuine curiosity: what have I done this week, however small, to nourish myself?
📝 Write it down — even if the answer surprises you

The moon is growing in the sky. And with her, quietly, so are we 💜

A single massage session can reduce cortisol — your body's primary stress hormone — by up to 30%. And when massage becomes a regular monthly practice, that effect compounds beautifully over time.

Cortisol is the thing that keeps us scanning, bracing, clenching — wired even when exhausted. It's what makes sleep feel fractured and turns our shoulders into armour.

Regular therapeutic massage sends a very different message to the nervous system:
you are safe. You can soften. You can rest now.

And when the body receives that message consistently, something quietly remarkable happens. Sleep deepens. Anxiety softens at the edges. Chronic pain begins to ease. Energy returns. The woman underneath all that bracing begins to re-emerge.

This is not an indulgence. This is your body being given what it genuinely needs.

I've been working with women since 2010, and I have never tired of watching this transformation unfold 💜

The New Moon begins today 🌑

She arrives in Cancer — the sign of home, deep nourishment, and belonging — on a warm midsummer Monday. I always find something quietly profound about a New Moon in Cancer. She asks us, very gently: come home to yourself.

In earth-based and holistic traditions, one of the oldest and simplest healing practices is earthing — the act of placing your bare feet on the ground and allowing its steadiness to move through you.

This week's holistic practice invitation:

🌿 Step outside and take your shoes off — grass, soil, garden path, whatever is near
🌿 Feel the ground beneath you: solid, patient, ancient
🌿 Take three slow breaths — in for four counts, out for six
🌿 Ask yourself with genuine tenderness: what does home feel like in my own body today?

You don't need anything else. Just the earth, your breath, and a moment of presence.

What's your favourite way to come back to yourself in summer? I'd love to hear 💜

When did your body last truly exhale? ♨️

Not the small sigh at the end of a long day — but the deep, unhurried, cellular release of a body that has finally been given permission to let go.

That is the moment I witness again and again during a Hot Stone Massage. And after fifteen years of practice, it never grows ordinary.

I use smooth basaltic volcanic stones — shaped by the earth's own fire — warmed to a carefully considered temperature. Some are placed on areas of tension; others become an extension of my hands, moving with the massage itself. Their heat penetrates 4–5 times deeper into muscle tissue than hands alone can reach, meeting tension at its very roots and inviting it, patiently, to dissolve.

The treatment can also be combined with essential oils for a deeply aromatic and restorative experience 🌿

Full body hot stone massage — 55 minutes, £55
Back, neck & shoulder — 25 minutes, £28

If your body is asking for this, I'd love to welcome you.

🌑 New Moon in Cancer — 14th July 🌑

Soon, the moon returns to darkness.

She slips into Cancer — the sign of home,
of nourishment, of the tender roots
from which everything grows.

Cancer's new moon asks us the most
intimate of questions:

Where do you feel at home?

Not just in a building or a place —
but in your body.
In your daily life.
In the way you treat yourself.

A gentle ritual for this new moon 🕯
Light a candle somewhere that feels safe
Hold your own hands for a moment
Ask: what would make me feel more at home here?
Write three tender intentions
Close with: 'I am coming home to myself'

Happy New Moon 💜 — Janine x

It’s one of my most beloved offerings, and I pour so much love into every session.

If you’ve been feeling out of sorts, depleted, or quietly disconnected from yourself — this might be just what your body is asking for.

"🌑 New Moon in Cancer — 14th July 🌑

Soon the moon will slip into her darkest phase — and she does so in the arms of Cancer, one of the most tender and inward-facing signs of the zodiac.

Cancer governs home, nourishment, emotional roots, and belonging. It is the sign of the hearth, of the places and people and practices that make us feel safe and held.

This new moon asks us the most intimate of questions:
Where do you truly feel at home?

A gentle ritual for this new moon, if you feel called 🕯

Find a quiet corner — your favourite chair, a spot in the garden. Light a candle. Hold your own hands for a moment. Ask yourself: what would help me feel more at home — in my body, in my days, in my own skin? Write three intentions, as seeds. Close with: 'I am finding my way home to myself.'

Because that homecoming is always available to us 💜

Happy New Moon, beautiful women. This campaign has been such a joy to share with you.

With so much warmth, Janine x

She came to me last September 🌿

Tired in that bone-deep way that a good night's sleep doesn't quite reach. Carrying tension in places she'd been carrying it so long, she'd stopped noticing. Moving through her days giving everything to everyone, and somewhere along the way, leaving very little for herself.

She decided to try monthly massage. Just quietly, consistently — month after month.

By the time spring came, she sat up after a session and said: 'I feel like I've come back to myself.'

That quiet homecoming. That is what I witness again and again in women who choose this kind of consistent, loving care for themselves.

It unfolds gradually, over months — as the nervous system learns, again, how to soften. As the body releases what it has been holding. As the woman inside the body begins, slowly, to trust that she is allowed to rest.

That work is a privilege to be part of. Always 💜

I would love to tell you about one of my most beloved treatments ♨️🌿

My Hot Stone Massage brings together the deep, penetrating warmth of heated volcanic stones with the flowing, intuitive rhythms of aromatherapy massage — a treatment that works on the body from several directions at once.

The heat opens and softens the tissue. The essential oils — chosen specifically for your needs — work their quiet alchemy throughout the session. And the massage releases what remains, restoring what has been depleted.

Women who experience this treatment often tell me they feel lighter, softer, and somehow more themselves when they leave 💜

If this sounds like what your body might be asking for right now, I'd be so glad to welcome you in.

July is the month the garden asks the most of us 🌿

Regular watering in the heat. Deadheading the roses so they keep flowering. Checking the soil. Noticing what's struggling. Giving a little extra attention to whatever needs it most.

And yet when it comes to ourselves, we so often forget to apply that same attentive, patient care.

True self-care is exactly this: the steady, loving practice of noticing what you need and, where you can, offering it.

Sometimes that is rest. Sometimes it is movement. Sometimes it is finally booking that treatment you've been putting off for months.

Sometimes it is simply pausing long enough to ask:
What do I actually need right now?

This week, I'm inviting you to tend yourself with the same patient attention you'd offer a beloved garden 🌸

What does that look like for you today? I'd genuinely love to hear 💜

With warmth, Janine x
