This was my starting point compared with my retest.

My Omega 6:3 balance moved from 𝟐𝟏:𝟏 𝐭𝐨 𝟑.𝟑:𝟏.

My Omega 3 Index moved from 𝟐.𝟗% 𝐭𝐨 𝟔.𝟗%.

My fatty acid score moved from 𝟎% 𝐭𝐨 𝟔𝟗%.

For years I had already been living with fibromyalgia, spinal and joint osteoarthritis, hypermobility, nerve pain, anxiety, fatigue, restless legs, brain fog, dry eye syndrome, gut and bowel issues, low vitamin D, hair thinning, skin issues and acid/heartburn — and that is still not the full list.

So I already knew my body had been under strain for a long time.

What shocked me was seeing just how many of my markers were sitting in the red at the start.

It did not explain or diagnose all of those symptoms, but it gave me a measurable picture I had never had before — and that made a lot of things make more sense.

That is why I value testing.

It gives you a measurable starting point, helps you make more informed changes, and gives you the opportunity to retest and see what has actually changed.

For me, that is far more useful than simply hoping something is working.

If you tested today, do you know what your numbers would show?

💪 The Compound Effect: Muscles, Joints & Ligaments

The discomfort you feel today isn’t always caused by what happened yesterday.

A stiff neck.
A tight shoulder.
An aching back.
A knee that doesn’t feel quite right.

Often, it’s the result of small demands building up over time.

Desk work. Training. Repetitive movement. Previous injuries. Poor sleep. Stress. Recovery after surgery. The physical load of everyday life.

Your muscles, joints, ligaments and connective tissues respond to all of it.

When the body isn’t given the support it needs, tension can accumulate, movement can become restricted and recovery may feel slower.

But the compound effect works both ways.

Small, consistent actions can support better movement, greater comfort and long-term wellbeing.

At Revera Leeds, my approach looks beyond the area that feels uncomfortable.

Specialist massage supports relaxation, circulation and movement, while recognising that recovery is also influenced by hydration, nutrition, essential fatty acids, sleep and stress management.

Because your body doesn’t function in isolated parts—and meaningful support shouldn’t either.

Support your recovery.
Restore confidence in how you move.
Build stronger foundations over time.

🌿 From the outside in and the inside out.

I still can’t quite believe this… 😱

On my very first entry into a specialist salon category, Revera Leeds has been named among the Top 100 Specialist Salons nationally… placing 59th in the UK.

To have been recognised as a specialist salon in such a short space of time means more than I can put into words.

Alongside this, I also received:

✨ Highly Recommended — Nail Technician of the Year
✨ Highly Recommended — Best Gel Nails

These are incredibly competitive categories, so every recognition matters.

But placing 59th nationally as a Specialist Salon feels particularly significant. It represents everything Revera Leeds has been evolving into: specialist, personalised care that looks beyond a single treatment and considers the whole person… from the outside in and the inside out.

Honesty, truth and integrity sit behind everything I do. I won’t recommend something simply because it is popular, and I don’t believe in delivering the same appointment to everyone. Every client deserves to be listened to, understood and cared for as an individual.

To my clients: thank you for trusting me with your specialist care, supporting Revera Leeds’s evolution and allowing me to continue building something that genuinely reflects my values.

Thank you to Sophie, the HBA Team and the judges for seeing what Revera is becoming… and for recognising that I came so close to the national Top 50.

That is absolutely something I’ll be working towards over the coming year. 💚

🐾 A small personal note: this is a catch-up post following the sudden and heartbreaking loss of my Jack. I’m still incredibly sad and taking things gently, but I wanted to acknowledge this wonderful news and thank everyone for their patience and kindness.

Every massage I provide is tailored to the person in front of me, taking into account how they’re feeling, where they’re experiencing tension or discomfort and what they need from their treatment that day.

Thank you Sam for taking the time to leave such a lovely review… and for trusting me with your care. 💆‍♂️

Personal Health Transformation

These photos tell the story of more than a change in appearance.

They tell the story of someone who spent years simply trying to survive.

For years, I could no longer hide how much pain I was in.

My switch was permanently stuck ON.

Pain.
Fatigue.
Brain fog.
Poor sleep.
Constant flare-ups.

The physical effects showed in my face, my body and eventually my confidence.

I went from believing I was fit and healthy to spending more than a decade existing rather than living.

Simple things became overwhelming.

Getting dressed
Washing my hair
Preparing meals
Even sleeping

I was living with:

• Fibromyalgia
• Spinal and joint osteoarthritis
• Hypermobility
• Nerve pain
• Anxiety, depression and Restless Legs Syndrome
• Gut issues, hormonal changes, skin changes, poor appetite, fatigue, brain fog and so much more.

After years of appointments, investigations and being told nothing appeared to be wrong, I was finally diagnosed in 2017, three years after first going off sick. I was medically retired from the NHS at just 43.

Losing the career I’d dedicated 23 years to was devastating.

⸻

Everything began to change when I discovered something I had never previously measured.

A simple at-home blood test showed I was significantly out of balance. My Omega-6:3 ratio was 21:1, my Omega-3 Index was just 2.9%, and my EPA and DHA levels were low.

It didn’t provide all the answers, but it gave me valuable insight into something I had never looked at before.

Working with that information helped me make informed decisions about improving my Omega-3 Index and supporting my EPA and DHA levels. It also helped me understand why, despite believing I ate a healthy diet, my body still wasn’t getting what it needed.

Over time, I began to notice changes, including:

• Less pain
• Better energy
• Improved mood
• Clearer thinking
• Better sleep and less fatigue
• No flare-ups for months (fibromyalgia, nerve pain, hormonal symptoms and gut symptoms)
• Healthier looking skin
• A body that finally felt calmer.

Today, I still live with my diagnoses.

This isn’t about being “cured.”

It’s about understanding my body better and supporting it in a different way.

That has made an enormous difference to my quality of life.

⸻

When I retested in March 2026, my results reflected that progress.

My Omega-6:3 ratio improved from 21:1 to 3.3:1, and my Omega-3 Index increased from 2.9% to 6.9%.

I delayed my retest until after Christmas and recovering from a chest infection so my results reflected a more stable picture.

⸻

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is this:

You can’t change what you don’t measure.

You can’t support what you don’t understand.

Sometimes the missing piece isn’t another product or another treatment.

Sometimes it’s simply having better information.

That’s why I now combine data-driven, test-based nutritional insights with the work I do through Revera Leeds.

Not because it was someone else’s story…

Because it became mine.

If sharing my experience helps even one person ask a different question, seek better information or finally understand what their body has been trying to tell them, then telling my story is worth it.

This journey started with awareness… and finally understanding what was happening inside my body.

If you’d like to learn more about the science behind essential fatty acids, cellular health and test-based nutritional insights, send me a message or comment TEST and I’d be happy to explain how it works.

From the outside in… and the inside out.
