It is vital to invest in looking after ourselves, for our health and well-being, as we all lead busy lifestyles.
One way to do this would be to book a monthly facial or massage, which can give you valuable time to switch off and de-stress, in a safe space, and offer a chance to vent and feel better.
Aromatherapy massage and facials – incorporating essential oils in the facial massage, is known to help reduce anxiety levels and offers a calming experience to look forward to. Keeping your skin in good condition by having monthly facials will help you look good and feel more confident and encourage you to keep to a regular monthly session. Regular monthly appointments to look forward to with your therapist will benefit your mood by giving you the opportunity to experience peace, quiet and relaxation, away from your busy lifestyle. You will be giving yourself the opportunity to decompress and recharge,

THE BENEFITS OF COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES – REFLEXOLOGY
REFLEXOLOGY is an ancient form of massage to Reflex zones in the hands and the feet, although it is more usual to give treatment to the feet. Reflexology promotes good health and improves balance throughout the whole body.
Treatment can help a wide range of complaints including Asthma, backache, migraine, stress relief, anxiety, constipation, relieve neck and shoulder pain.
Reflexology treatments are non-invasive as you remain fully clothed and it lasts approximately 50-60 minutes. It brings total relaxation and can provide a means to improve the human condition and it compliments any health care work.
Each foot has 33 joints and thousands of nerves. By using specific reflexology techniques we can affect the nervous system in a very positive, relaxing way and, when the body is relaxed and the nervous system stimulated, healing has a perfect opportunity to take place. Healing comes from the inside out.
Reflexology helps the recipient achieve a state of deep relaxation. It can be part of everyones life. Reflexology is not like Asprin or cough syrup – a remedy to be pulled out of the medicine cabinet only when you are feeling ill. No, Reflexology is for the healthy, busy, strong, energetic professional man or woman, of all ages from babies and children, whose life is constantly on the go, as well as for people who are unwell.
For everyone needs balance and relaxation, moments for reflection and serenity, to get in touch with their deepest selves and experience the peace and well-being that lies within.
Reflexology is a method for activating the healing powers of the body. It is both old and new. From ancient texts, illustrations and artifacts, we know that the early Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Russians and Egyptians, worked on the feet to promote good health. Today, many of these same techniques have been developed into a modern science method called Reflexology. What joins the ancient with the modern is the long established principle that there are energy zones that run throughout the body and reflex areas in the feet that correspond to all major organs, glands and body parts.
Touching is an intimate act. Whether it is an hearty handshake or a tender embrace. When we touch another person something happens between us. A relationship begins. If we continue to reach out to each other, the relationship grows. We share and exchange and we are enriched. We may give gifts, meals, time, interests or love, but we are really always giving the same gift – OURSELVES. Reflexology offers the perfect opportunity for giving the gift of ourselves in a way that brings health and well-being to those we care about. Touching our feet is something we hardly ever do. Some people even manage to put on their socks and shoes without really touching their feet. This is one reason Reflexology can revolutionise our lives. It is something we don’t ordinarily do. It is special. Something out of the ordinary. It provides an opportunity to let go of the usual problems and activities of the day and relax with someone we enjoy being with and then ‘JUST BE’. Most of us live lives that have very little time for this. We live in a sea of noise, deadlines, interruptions, worries, responsibilities and distractions, that keep us from being with those we love.
Reflexology can provide a quiet island in the course of the day, where we can get together, stop the commotion, take stock of what is really important and renew ourselves, so we can return to our busy worlds with more energy and enthusiasm. By experiencing Reflexology, you’ll realise how good you can feel and may want to learn how to find quiet islands for taking care of yourself and your loved ones.
Modern Reflexology is both a science and an art. As a science, it requires careful study, faithful practice, a sound knowledge of the techniques and skill, patience, focused on intention and, above all, loving care.
HOW DOES REFLEXOLOGY WORK? It is agreed since ancient times, that healers employ various methods to strengthen and balance energy flow. Systems such as Acupuncture, Shiatsu and Reflexology all agree that this energy flows in ZONES or MERIDIANS throughout the body. Reflexology specify that there are 10 Energy Zones that run the length of the body from head to toe – 5 on each side of the body, ending in each foot and running down the arms into the tips of the fingers. Not only do these zones run lengthwise, but, they pass through the body so that a zone located on the front of the body can also be reached from behind. All organs and parts of the body lie along one or more of these zones – each of which are channels for life energy. By stimulating any zone in the foot, by applying pressure with thumbs and fingers, affects the entire zone throughout the body.
FOR EXAMPLE – by working the zone of the foot along which the kidneys line, will release vital energy that may be blocked somewhere else in that zone, such as the eyes. Working the kidney reflex area of the foot will therefore revitalize and balance the entire zone and improve functioning of the organ.
HOW IT WORKS is still a mystery but it is proven every day when used, with wonderful results.

THE BENEFITS OF AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE & COMPLIMENTARY THERAPIES
We are all starting to look for Wellness and balance in our lives. Prioritising our health, looking to sleep better and finding calm and balance. Aromatherapy can help change how we feel.
With Aromatherapy, what you smell is what you need, because essential oils go straight into your olfactory system – through your sense of smell, so inhaling them through the soft tissue. They are clinically proven to change how you feel for 6-8 hours so, whether it be a calming, energising, soothing or comforting essential oil, there are lots of different ones to choose from.
It is OK to admit that you can’t sleep well. It is OK to say you are stressed. Years ago we used to say we were stressed because it was a sign of success. Now we know we need to take control of our stress levels and look after our emotional, physical and mental wellbeing and, through the power of Aromatherapy, this can be achieved.
Aromatherapy is a truly holistic therapy, taking into account mind, body and spirit of the person.
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils which have been extracted from plants as a form of treatment. It has its roots in the most ancient healing practices of mankind, having been used for thousands of years. Early man discovered by chance that some leaves, berries and roots that he gathered for food, made sick people better, or that their juices helped wounds heal. Their knowledge would have been handed down within the tribe as part of their shared knowledge.
MASSAGE is something we all benefit from. We connect with those we are caring for when giving and when receiving. We are accepting and trusting. There are no nasty side effects. Only good.
Massage can help relieve neck and shoulder pain.
Relieve tension headaches.
Relieve lower back pain.
Ease muscle aches, pains and cramps.
Help relax the recipient so helping them get a deeper restful sleep.
Aids digestion.
Helps boost the immune system so helping the body’s natural healing.
So, by combining massage and essential oils, we can achieve so much benefit.

Self-face massages
I have made a short 19 minute video, for ‘Self-face-massage’ in which I show how you can massage your own face, to awaken your whole face, drain lymph and help tone your muscles. This can be done as often as you like, using any light oil or serum, so your hands can move freely over your skin without dragging it. I feel sure you will find this both relaxing and soothing and your skin will feel tingly and refreshed after self-massaging.
This is a lovely routine to do as part of your skin care.
To help you re-connect to life when feeling lonely or isolated…
During these days of isolation, remember that you are part of a whole world that feels the same emotions such as loneliness and frustration. You are not alone with these feelings. There are many essential oils which I use in my Aromatherapy practice, which I blend together to help re-connect you to life when feeling lonely and isolated, to comfort and up-lift you when feeling a little low and re-balance your mood in moments of feeling angry or frustrated because of the isolation and social distancing. There are many essential oils which can be used either separately or blended together, to help support you and return your feelings of over-whelm, to peace and calm.
Try the following blends in your diffuser at home, for you and all those in your home to feel the benefits:
To dispel anger and create a feeling of peace and soothe frustration – 2 drops each Geranium, Ylang ylang
To calm anger, dispel gloomy thoughts and create a positive outlook – 2 drops each Petitgrain, Orange
To balance emotions, restore feelings of peace; calming and uplifting – 2 drops each Lavender, geranium
To calm and balance emotions of anger and frustration – 2 drops each chamomile, geranium
We are all facing the unknown and uncertainty so any help we can use to re-connect and regain a sense of hope and possibility, using these essential oils will certainly help to do that.
As lock-down starts to ease, I wish you all a safe and positive week ahead.

Whilst we are all going through the COVID 19 virus pandemic
and having to self-isolate, anxiety is high and motivation can be low.
For most of us, when we see a friend or even a stranger, in crisis or pain, we are pretty good at offering our help and compassion. But, when experiencing a hard time in our own lives, too often we neglect to give that same kindness to ourselves. Self-compassion and meeting our own needs makes us more motivated and less anxious. Allowing ourselves Regular Therapy treatments for a regular tune-up, to look forward to, to revitalise and re-energise and balance our bodies, are some of the best ways to practice self-compassion.
Treatments with a therapist are now having to be put on hold until self-isolation and distancing has been lifted, So, turn off the TV and computer and make sure your mobile is on silent.
Make time for a soak in the bath with your favourite bath oil or an essential oil added to the bath water.
Find a face mask you may have tucked away in a draw and enjoy the time to relax whilst it is on.
Massage body lotion into your skin after your bath.
Pamper your feet by using an exfoliator or pumice stone to rid your feet of any hard skin and then massage in some body lotion before putting on socks and allowing the lotion to soak in.
Enjoy the peace and down-time.
This will not last for ever.
Promise yourself, when things begin to return to normality, you will find the time and take yourself for regular Therapy Treatments for regular tune-ups, to be looked forward to, to revitalise and re-energise and balance your body. To practice self-compassion.

THE POWER OF TOUCH
Most of us only experience touch outside of a relationship, when we are children.
By craving platonic touch we’re admitting we’re human with a basic, genetic need for touch. It is a characteristic of our DNA. We live in groups and we need each other. We all need to feel compassion, emotional safety, self-worth, acceptance and belonging.
As a professional therapist I am trained and skilled in many massage techniques and hold a confidential, safe place for my clients in which touch, tenderness and vulnerability can be safely manifested.

MASSAGE FOR CANCER PATIENTS.
As a therapist in massage and Aromatherapy, I am fully trained and qualified and insured to give ‘adapted massage’ to cancer patients, both between chemotherapy treatments and after treatment, with the consent of the patients onchologist. The benefits of massage for those patients going through treatment for cancer are many, which are supported by evidence and research as well as anecdotal experiences. Some of these benefits are:
Reduced anxiety, depressed mood and anger
Reduced mood disturbances and stress levels
Improved sleep quality
Reduced pain
Reduced nausea
Reduced fatigue
Macmillan have published the following advice, as have Cancer Research UK:
(Ref.: http://www.macmillan.org.uk/information-and-support/coping/complementary-therapies/complementary-therapies-explained/massage-therapies.html accessed 12th April 2015 )
“Some people worry that massage can spread cancer cells throughout the body via the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, organs and nodes through which lymphatic fluid (lymph) flows. It is part of the body’s immune system. Lymphatic circulation occurs naturally as we move.
Cancer may spread (metastasize) into the lymphatic system via the lymph nodes, or it may start in the lymphatic system. However, the circulation of lymph – from massage or other movement – does not cause cancer to spread. Researchers have shown that cancer develops and spreads because of changes to a cell’s DNA (genetic mutation) and other processes in the body.”
Cancer Research UK suggest the following as possible side-effects of massage for those going through treatment for cancer.
“Most people don’t have any side effects from having a massage. You may feel a bit light headed, sleepy, tired or thirsty afterwards. Your massage therapist may advise you to drink a glass of water when your treatment has finished and if you feel thirsty. They usually allow you to get ready to leave in your own time so that you don’t have to rush. Some people find that they feel a bit emotional or tearful for a while afterwards.”
Both charities emphasise the need for cancer patients to visit specially trained massage therapists who are able to adapt the massage to meet the needs of their client.

WHAT DO I DO?
When clients come to see me,
They hope I’ll work my magic,
By waxing, tinting, plucking, cleansing, or
Just by simply listening.
I give them all the time to talk,
I listen without judgement,
I massage blended oils into skin
and gently ease out muscle strain
and then they book to come again.
To simply feel relief from pain,
Stronger, de-stressed, relaxed and calmer …..
Who? I ask, would refuse such pleasure.

LAVENDER OIL AS A NATURAL REMEDY
Research shows that lavender oil works on the same receptors in the brain as anti-anxiety medications such as Valium, but unlike these drugs, it is not addictive and doesn’t cause withdrawal symptoms. Capsules are available from pharmacists or health food shops.

SIX WAYS AROMATHERAPY CAN HELP EVERYDAY AILMENTS
Article provided by Karen Young, Editor and Communications Manager, FHT
Aromatherapy involves the therapeutic use of plant essential oils, which enter the body via or lungs through inhalation, or the skin, if applied in a massage blend or other product.
A recent survey by the FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists) – 2019 FHT Member Survey – 608 respondents, revealed that aromatherapy is one of the top three complimentary therapies requested by the public in the UK. Here we look at six different ways Aromatherapy can be used to help manage some common complaints that affect our overall health and wellbeing.
SLEEP AID – Poor sleep affects as many as a third of us, and in recent years, it has been linked to various health conditions including diabetes, heart disease, obesity and mental health problems. Clary sage and marjoram both have sedative qualities, which can help promote sleep, while lavender, chamomile and neroli are calming and soothing oils, which are great for relieving anxiety, if this is the underlying problem. Where depression is linked to poor sleep, an uplifting oil, like bergamot, could be beneficial.
A NATURAL BOOST – Many of us can be left feeling physically or mentally drained after a particular busy period or demanding life event. There are lots of essential oils that can give us a much needed boost including pine, which reduces fatigue and citrus oils such as orange, lemon and grapefruit, which are all uplifting and can help stimulate the mind and aid concentration. Rosemary and peppermint are said to be excellent for memory and mental performance, while basil can help bring clarity.
SKIN SUPPORT – Aromatherapy can help a wide range of skin problems. For mature skin, cicatrisant or ‘skin healing’ essential oils are ideal, as these promote cell regeneration and are good for scars and blemishes. Examples include frankincense, palmarosa, carrot seed, rose, lavender and German chamomile. For best results, these are often added to a carrier oil suited for mature skin, such as rosehip seed oil, which can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines and is particularly good for dry or damaged skin.
SOUL SOOTHER – Left unchecked, stress and anxiety can take a huge toll on our health and wellbeing. Research shows that lavender can help calm the nervous system, lower blood pressure, heart rate and skin temperature; and change brain waves to a more relaxed state. Neroli often referred to as the ‘rescue remedy’ of essential oils, is also great for helping to ease anxiety and stress, along with bergamot, which is traditionally used in Italian folk medicine to relieve tension and anxiety.
MENOPAUSE ALLY – While the menopause is a natural stage in life’s journey, many women experience unpleasant symptoms that can affect their overall quality of life. Geranium, clary sage and rose can help balance and regulate the hormones, while other essential oils are useful for addressing more specific issues. For example, cypress and peppermint can alleviate hot flushes and sweating, while oils like grapefruit, neroli, bergamot and jasmine can help ease feelings of depression.
NAUSEA KNOCK-BACK – Nausea is an unpleasant symptom that can be triggered by a variety of things including digestive problems, certain medications (e.g. anaesthetics), motion sickness, headaches and pregnancy. For digestive-related nausea, fennel seed or lemon essential oil might be useful. Recent studies have also shown that inhaling lavender, ginger, peppermint or rose essential oils can help reduce nausea in patients experiencing nausea and vomiting after surgery.
Finally, some important safety notes….
- Aromatherapy should be used alongside standard medical care and not as an alternative
- If you are currently receiving care from a doctor, consultant, midwife or other health professional, let them know you intend to have aromatherapy treatments/use essential oils
- Essential oils are very powerful and if used incorrectly, can be detrimental to your health. Never ingest (swallow) essential oils or apply them to the skin neat (undiluted). Various cautions also apply for babies, the elderly, during pregnancy, prior to sun exposure, when taking certain medications, and for some medical conditions.
- Seek advice from a professional aromatherapist before using essential oils.

SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT…
As a therapist, trained in beauty and various massage techniques, my aim is to help you feel better about yourself.
‘How?’ I hear you say.
In beauty I can remove unwanted hair from your body; deep cleanse and moisturise your face; tend to your nails and cuticles on your feet or hands and remove rough, dry skin; and of course massage, to relax tired stressed muscles which in turn helps relieve emotional stress and physical pain. And much more.
‘That’s nice!’ you might think ‘but that’s not for me. I’m too busy/haven’t the time.’
OR ‘I don’t need any of that’. OR ‘I cannot afford to spend my money on that kind of thing’.
BUT….. when you are tired and achy and stressed, how do you relax and unwind? Will you have a cup of coffee or tea or caffeine filled soda, or maybe a glass of wine or beer, whilst surfing the internet or watching television. All of these are stimulants
Are you constantly tired and often have a niggling pain or dull headache and then, do you reach for a pain killer?
Why not try drinking more water, going for a walk and book a regular therapeutic massage or reflexology treatment?
Our bodies are the most valuable things we have and we really must look after them all the time, not just for ‘treats’ or when we get hurt or ill.
You do deserve it.

HOW DO ESSENTIAL OILS WORK?
The oils of Aromatherapy come from the natural aromatic essences or oil extracts from wild or cultivated plants. By inhaling the oils through the soft tissues of our nose they go directly into our olfactory system through our sense of smell and, by massaging the oils into our skin, our skin absorbs the oils. The oil’s natural healing chemical compounds cross into the bloodstream. Once inside the bloodstream they disperse to the specific organs and systems on which they work.
Some of the benefits of essential oils are:
. Fight cold and flu symptoms
. Relax your body and soothe sore muscles
. Heal skin conditions
. Alleviate pain
. Balance hormones
. Improve digestion
Treatments with essential oils are helpful for all sorts of stress-related problems, which are so common in our modern lives.
Aromatherapy can benefit everyone from babies to children, men, women and the elderly. Regular treatments with essential oils will contribute to a dramatic improvement in general health and well-being, increasing vitality and giving you healthy-looking skin. Quite simply, aromatherapy works by influencing the body, mind and spirit all at the same time. When practised in an holistic way, aromatherapy treatments bring together the complete healing process.
SELF-CARE IS NOT SELFISH – IT IS ESSENTIAL!
To experience a regular massage is wonderful and it helps regain balance in your body and maintain balance in your life.
Gentle kneading and gliding strokes are designed to soothe muscles, improve blood circulation and help you feel relaxed.
Using essential oils in aromatherapy massage treatments, the mind, body and spirit, as well as your life style, eating patterns and relationships, etc., are taken into account. The principle of balance is applied to your mental and emotional state as well as the physical, so offers a truly holistic, gentle and natural alternative to psychotic drugs.
Reflexology is used to correct inbalances through the body and encourages overall healing and improves well being. It is deeply relaxing and targets specific reflex points of the foot or hand to promote healing in corresponding organs and all areas of the body. Many symptoms can be improved such as headaches, sinus problems, digestion and more, plus reduction of stress and anxiety in the body.

MAKING TIME FOR YOURSELF TO MAINTAIN A PERFECT BALANCE
It seems that the majority of us consider spending time on ourselves – half an hour to one hour a week or fortnight or month, for a massage treatment, reflexology therapy treatment or a facial, something of a luxury, only to be had as an indulgent treat for a birthday or whilst on holiday.
These therapeutic treatments help relax our bodies and minds, lowers anxiety, boosts the immune system, relieves pain and much more.
Why do we wait until we are ill or in pain before starting to take care of our bodies?
Maintaining our health through good diet, regular exercise, enough rest, plus regular therapeutic treatments are all preventative measures against ill health and pain.
We have the most amazing, wonderful bodies, that carry us through our lives.
Our good health is imperative in order that we can enjoy our lives and, maintaining a perfect balance and investing in regular therapeutic massage treatments is time and money we spent, PLUS an enormous pleasure to receive.

PRE-WEDDING FTW FACIAL
You are on count down to that special day and you look in the mirror and notice fine lines, wrinkles and flaky skin. The stress has taken its toll and you need some help to revitalise your skin.
A facial is extremely beneficial and you don’t need to spend a fortune to see the benefits.
Your ‘Face The World’ (FTW) Facial will begin with a cleanse to prepare the skin for an exfoliation. This will prime your skin ready for a flawless make-up application, by removing dead skin cells that are giving you the dull, flaky appearance. It will also prepare for those lines and wrinkles to be pumped full of nutrients. Then you will receive a face massage sending you into a dreamy slumber, whilst relaxing your muscles, pump your blood around your face bringing nutrients and oxygen to the area. This will reduce puffiness, plump those fine lines and can strengthen the facial muscles. It will also aid hydration leaving your skin glowing and feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. You will then have a Hydro Marine Mask applied which is packed with vitamins, minerals and cutting edge nutrients and will help remove impurities, hydrate your skin and help reduce fine lines.
Then be further indulged with your choice of either a revitalising foot massage, hand massage or Indian head massage.
To finish your facial experience a skin-refining serum, packed full of vitamins and minerals will be applied followed by Hydrate and Replenish Moisturising lotion, leaving your skin looking and feeling vibrant.

BALANCE IN OUR LIVES.
I WAS TALKING TO A CLIENT THE OTHER DAY
and she was telling me how much she looked forward to her twice monthly Aromatherapy massage treatments she had with me, and what benefits she experienced. It wasn’t just that the massage ‘felt nice’ but the combination of the oils – specifically chosen for her that session, depending on what emotional or physical state of mind or health she was experiencing at the time – and the gentle, rhythmic muscle manipulation of the massage, she left feeling relaxed and uplifted in her mood, the aches in her body eased, all resulting in a better sleep which helped energise her for the next day, resulting in better work production and a happier relationship with family, friends and work colleagues. She has been coming to me fortnightly for many years and now feels it an essential part of her life, to maintain her mental and physical well being.
Our lives are so busy and our finances so stretched, the time we allocate ourselves to relax is minimal. With all our commitments with work, family and friends we often neglect or completely ignore the fact that balance in our lives is so important. And that balance should start with our bodies.
I believe receiving regular Aromatherapy or Reflexology treatments benefits us all in helping us relax, recharge, recentre, reset and help keep our equilibrium, so contributing to our good health and happy outlook on life.
WHY I FEEL WE ALL CAN BENEFIT FROM RECEIVING REGULAR THERAPIES
I feel passionate about being a therapist and how much the therapies benefit each and everyone of us. Each treatment, whether it be a beauty treatment, Aromatherapy massage treatment or a Reflexology treatment, can make a tremendous difference to how we feel in ourselves, in our busy stressful lives.
Everyone needs time to re-charge our energy and an opportunity to focus on ourselves and how we feel. We all need time out to switch off, to re-centre and re-set. One hour a week or one hour a month, is all that is required.
Today, our lives are so demanding, with constant electronic interruption, which can cause us so much stress and anxiety and which is very rarely switched off.
I believe passionately that having a regular hours therapeutic treatment helps keep me focused, helps keep my immune system strong and helps me sleep soundly every night and I therefore make sure I have regular Reflexology and Aromatherapy massage treatments.
I believe passionately in prevention rather than cure. Keeping your body strong through a good diet, regular exercise, enough sleep and regular therapeutic treatments all combine to enable you to enjoy a busy energetic life to the full, without having to visit the GP regularly for anti-biotics or anti-depressants or any other ‘anti’ prescription drugs.
Everyone needs some form of regular therapy. Everyone benefits from some form of regular therapy.

FOOD INTOLERANCES v ALLERGIC REACTIONS
Food intolerances seem to be becoming the norm these days. Many of us find there is a food that doesn’t agree with us, which causes either tummy upsets, bloating, nausea or skin irritations. But, is it a food we are intolerant to or is it an allergy, or just over-indulgence?
We all respond differently, each of our bodies are unique. There is no single approach, so we must listen to our bodies. Food intolerances tend to cause digestive problems such as bloating, irritable bowel, flatulence, tummy ache, nausea and headaches. Sometimes, coughing, runny nose or a skin rash can be experienced. Any symptoms can develop up to 48 hours after eating. The foods which are most common culprits of food intolerances are:
dairy – milk, cheese, milk chocolate
gluten or wheat
eggs
meat
food additives like MSG (monosodium glutamate)
alcohol
red wine
caffeine
tomatoes, onions, garlic, citrus fruit
An allergic reaction which involves an immune response from your body, occurs when a substance found in a food is perceived by your body as a threat, causing the immune system to respond rapidly to release chemicals to attack the substance. Symptoms are created such as:
itchiness, rashes, hives
swelling of tongue, lips or face
restricted breathing
vomiting
anaphylaxis
An allergic reaction to food tends to happen almost immediately after eating or coming into contact with that food. – The most common foods to cause an allergic reaction are:
tree nuts, peanuts, milk, eggs, fish shellfish
An allergy test is recommended to ensure you are aware of any foods that may be harmful or dangerous to your body.
Every body is different. Food intolerances are often delayed by hours or even days, so by keeping a food and drink diary to note symptoms and identify patterns, for at least a week, noting bloating, mood swings, how you feel throughout each day, will help identify what is causing you discomfort.
Next, cut out all the foods you suspect may be causing you the uncomfortable symptoms and note any change or improvement to how you felt, for one week to one month. Then, re-introduce one food for a day, then eliminate for 3 days, to see and note how you feel.
Repeat this with all the foods you suspect might be causing you discomfort.
For the most effective results from food elimination, it is advisable to cut out sugar, coffee, alcohol and all processed foods.
If you do find you have an intolerance to a certain food, experiment with substitutes. Avoid the trigger foods. Be firm with yourself. Use restaurants and cafes where they offer foods on their menu that you can eat. Ensure you have food and ingredients you can eat, in your fridge and cupboard.
There is so much information to be found about diet, food intolerance and food allergies, but if you have any symptoms which cause you distress it is advisable to talk with your GP or a nutritionist.

BRAIN HEALTH/HEALTHY GUT CONNECTION
High levels of stress create the stress hormone Cortisol which is very toxic to the brain memory centre – the Hippocampus – which is the part of the brain associated with memory and which regulates our emotions and plays a role in our spatial navigation and in our moods.
High levels of stress leads to increased gut permeability causing changes in the gut organisms and gut inflammation. Everything we can do to reduce stress is very important.
Some changes we can make to reduce inflammation of the gut and help care for our gut bacteria are to introduce into our diet, Probiotics, vitamin D, vitamin E, Prebiotics, omega 3DHA – found in fish oil, krill oil, salmon – omega 3 fatty acids are essential for proper functioning of the heart, brain and body.
We can protect our brains. We have control, by engaging a brain and heart healthy diet, exercise daily, sleep soundly and avoid stress.
Everyone is at risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
No pharmaceutical treatment is effective in managing or curing the disease.
BUT Alzheimer’s disease is preventable for the most part.
We have to embrace the whole body to keep or brains healthy. Our food choices are fundamentally important in keeping our gut and brains healthy. Our food choices effect our health and the brain is sensitive to the foods we choose to eat. When our blood sugar levels are elevated there is an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is Type 3 diabetes.
If you lower your blood sugars you lower the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. To keep in optimum health, cut out carbohydrates and sugar from your diet and eat more healthy fats i.e. coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, grass fed beef, wild fish, nuts and seed, eggs.
If you have digestive problems you must focus on avoiding all sugar and carbohydrates and welcome healthful fats back into your diet. Avoid artificial sweeteners. Eat more fermented foods which have good levels of probiotic bacteria in them. Eat more fibre and prebiotic bacteria e.g. onions, garlic, leeks, artichokes, apples, apple cider vinegar, dandelion greens. These all help to heal the gut lining.
Choices of what we eat directly effect our health and our gut bacteria, which effects our health and longevity and our ability to resist disease and, Alzheimer’s disease is dependant on the health of our gut bacteria.
If you eat the right food and exercise and reduce your stress levels, you can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease dramatically. Everything you can do to reduce stress is very important to keep your cortisol levels (stress hormone) down.
REMEMBER – elevate the corners of your mouth – smile consciously. This will change the lower level of cortisol in your body.

THE POWER OF TOUCH
We all appreciate the therapeutic power of touch.
Essential oils and the concentrated atomatic liquids extracted from plants have been used for their therapeutic benefits for nearly 6000 years. Ancient civilisations all understood the importance of essential oils, especially in the practice of healing the mind and body. Most essential oils are either massaged into the skin or inhaled. Odours we smell have the ability to positively effect our mood and memory as memory and smells are linked, as receptors of the Olfactory System are triggered by smell. The Olfactory System is close to the part of the brain known for emotional learning and memory, therefore a strong memory can be recalled from smell.
All massages improves circulation, leading to an increase in energy as well as promoting a clearer mind and an increase in concentration.
Reflexology is using massage and light pressure based techniques on the feet or hands, over areas known to corresponds to various organs and muscles of the body, which help improve blood circulation and lymph drainage, so helps speed up the body’s ability to recover, detoxify and balance, boosting the immune system and also unblocks nerve impulses so relieving stress and tension.
Everyone benefits from massage. Time to stop, even for a short half hour.
If you would like to experience the benefits of a massage – in the form of a FACIAL or REFLEXOLOGY or an AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE or you may like to gift a massage to someone, please contact me.

MIND AND BODY THERAPY (MaBT) for stress
It is estimated that about 40 million working days are lost in the UK each year as a result of stress-related illnesses. We all know having too much pressure can cause stress. Stress can cause palpitations, increased pulse rate, sleepiness, chest pains, pins and needles, weakness, dilated pupils, insomnia, fatigue, fainting, butterflies, tightness in the chest and an increased frequency in using the toilet. The medical profession estimates that almost 80% of modern diseases have their origins in stress. Stress is very serious condition and can lead to burnout or even post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Mind and Body Therapy (MaBT) for stress is a treatment especially developed, combining hypnotherapy and therapeutic massage, designed to help relax the mind and help switch off the ‘busy head’ so calming the mind, unblock energy flows and restoring joint movement and release muscle tension.

FACE THE WORLD FACIAL
The key to keeping your skin glowing during these hot summer days is to exfoliate and rehydrate.
Exfoliate helps prevent your pores becoming blocked by sun cream, tanning products, sweat and allergens like dust, pollen and pollution.
Rehydrate to replenish lost moisture whilst outside in the sun, and through perspiring in the high temperature.
For a real skin boost, combined with deeply relaxing and revitalising massage, a Face The World Facial will give you all this and more. The best chemical exfoliation are the AHAs – alpha hydroxy acids – used in Face The World exfoliation scrub, as they are found in fruit and vegetables. These enzymes will directly break down dead skin cells making them easier to wash away and expose new skin. Exfoliation then moisturise with Face The World Facial keeps your skin glowing, hydrated. Complete your facial with Replenish Moisturising Lotion and take home a sachet of Face The World Overnight Skin-Booster Serum to continue the moisturising treatment.
Remember to drink plenty of fresh clean water throughout the day to rehydrate your body.

MASSAGE EASES ANY TYPE OF BACK PAIN
There are many types of back pain.
Lumbago – which affects the lower back
Sciatica – which causes pain in the buttocks radiating out to the thighs and legs
Fibrositis – tender bundles of fibrous tissues within the muscle
Arthritis; spondylosis; curvature of the spine; slipped disc; and pains caused by weak back muscles, weak abdominal muscles and tension.
Essential oils can provide wonderful relief from chronic back pain. They penetrate deeply into the muscle tissues, encouraging contracted muscles to expand, they increase blood flow to the area and allow torn fibrous tissues to be repaired by the body.
AROMATHERAPY use to help loved ones with Dementia
ESSENTIAL OILS have been used for generations to ease symptoms of DEPRESSION, ANXIETY and INSOMNIA. Some care givers are now using these trusted oils to ease anxiety, boost memory and improve the mood of loved ones with dementia.
As the search continues for a cure for Alzheimer’s and related dementias, some research suggests that aromatherapy and the use of essential oils may treat certain symptoms of the disease.
While research on the effectiveness of essential oils is somewhat limited, some studies have shown aromatherapy can –
- ease symptoms of ANXIETY
- offer relief from symptoms of DEPRESSION
- improve the quality of life for people living with chronic health conditions
Essential Oils may be inhaled by using a diffuser, added to the bath water or applied to the skin.
In a diffuser drop 4 drops of the chosen essential oil in to an egg cup of hot water.
In the bath water add 4 drops of a chosen essential oil.
In a massage oil mix 2 drops essential oil to 5 ml (1 teaspoon) vegetable oil such as sweet almond oil.
In addition to the therapeutic benefits of the oil themselves, studies have also shown that sensory stimulation for people with Alzheimer’s can decrease agitation, improve sleep and improve the overall quality of life for those living with the disease.
7 ESSENTIAL OILS THAT MAY HELP THOSE LIVING WITH DEMENTIA:-
LAVENDER is calming and balancing to strong emotions. As lavender is a mood tonic it can be used to help depression, anger and irritability and can help in some cases of insomnia.
PEPPERMINT is an energizer and can be used to stimulate the mind and calm the nerves at the same time. Best used in the mornings, peppermint oil can be inhaled directly, diffused in a room, used in a massage oil or even put a few drops in the bath.
ROSEMARY is uplifting and used to stimulate the mind and body. Rosemary may even improve cognitive performance and mood. Rosemary has also been known to ease constipation, symptoms of depression and even reinvigorate the apetite. Rosemary oil can be directly inhaled, diffused through a room or used in a spray.
BERGAMOT can help relieve anxiety, agitation, mild depression and stress. This oil elevates the mood and helps calm the mood. Bergamot can be used to help relieve insomnia. Use in a massage oil, place a few drops into the bath water, diffuse through a room or use in a spray on clothing or linen.
LEMON OIL helps calm and relax people who are dealing with anxiety and insomnia, improves memory and eases indigestion. A few drops of Lemon oil can be dropped into the bath water, inhaled directly, diffused, sprayed or applied on clothes or linen or used in a massage oil.
YLANG YLANG can help ease depression whilst also promoting good sleep. Ylang ylang is a great oil for both the person living with Alzheimer’s and the care givers struggling with restlessness and lack of sleep. Ylang ylang is often combined with lemon oil. A few drops can be dropped into the bath water, inhaled directly, diffused or sprayed, or used in a massage oil.
GINGER is helpful for anyone struggling with digestion issues. Ginger is commonly used to treat loss of apetite and constipation. Ginger oil can be applied in massage oil as an abdominal massage. It can be inhaled, diffused, sprayed, or placed on a compress.
REFLEXOLOGY isn’t just about giving your feet a quick rub
to sooth them. It is a treatment that connects places on the body through the nervous system, through gentle massage and pressure on various parts of the feet. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort this can be targeted and alleviated. Reflexology is an holistic therapy which can do wonders for your mind, body and sole. It can help reduce stress, calm anxiety, improve relaxation and reduce specific pain in the body and in so doing, enhance your overall well-being.
Your treatment will be tailored to your specific needs following a consultation at the start of each appointment, to find out where you may be experiencing pain or discomfort.

DID YOU KNOW …..?
….that massage, acupressure and the balance of our bodies energy flow have been practiced and perfected around the globe for at least 5000 years? These ancient treatments have stood the test of time for a reason – they work!
In simple terms, it was discovered that the kneading, pressing, stroking and/or careful manipulation of muscles and meridian energy points could alleviate not only pain but many diseases throughout the body. (ref. Face-the-World.co.uk)
Benefits of Massage:
Helps beat PMS
Helps sufferers of soft tissue pain
Helps treat side effects of cancer
Helps cut down on migraines
Helps reduce pain from exercise
Helps make you look younger (ref. Readers Digest)
Balance negative energy and flow of chi
Improve sleep and feeling of well-being
Ease stress and feelings of anxiety
Improve skin oxygen levels and lymphatic flow (ref.Face-the-World.co.uk)
BENEFITS OF A FACIAL MASSAGE
In the same way you would massage a tender shoulder or achy back, your face muscles need the same TLC. Just as the rest of your body requires regular exercise to keep looking younger, so too does your facial muscles – which work just as hard as the rest of the muscles in your body. Face Massage relieves tension in the muscles of the face so helps prevent wrinkles from forming. Face Massage increases blood and oxygen flow to the soft lines around the mouth, eyes and brow, which have anti-aging benefits, leaving skin looking fresher and younger.
Face Massage will take you to a blissful state of relaxation. As well as boosting circulation Face Massage will stimulate the lymphatic vessels to aid in elimination of toxins from the facial area so nutrients can travel in and add vitality to a dull complexion and leave your skin glowing. Your skin tone and muscle tone will improve and you will feel relief from stress, neck tension and headache.
Face Massage decreases anxiety and helps improve negative moods (according to a study conducted by the USER SCIENCE INSTITUTE) A therapeutic Face Massage can help relieve allergy symptoms such as sinus congestion, resulting in puffiness and headaches, by helping improve drainage.
Face Massage is incorporated in FACE THE WORLD Facials. Also consider a FACE REJUVENATION MASSAGE.
THERAPIES – Why you deserve a regular Therapeutic treatment
Life can be tough!
We, as a generalisation, don’t allow ourselves enough time to relax and unwind and as a result can become run-down or unwell. My aim and intention, in all the therapies I do, is to relax, de-stress and help my clients feel good about themselves.
An Aromatherapy massage, using essential oils personally selected and blended to suit each individuals needs, is for anyone needing some personal time, are over-stressed, who may be recovering from an illness or may be frail. Aromatherapy may be for you.
Reflexology is a wonderful therapy which will restore balance to the body so improve the clients general well-being.
Beauty Therapies, from a FTW facial (Face The World), using pure and simple FTW products which don’t contain any known ‘nasties’, which will cleanse, nourish and enrich your skin, plus you will receive a face massage and a choice of a head or hand or foot massage to complete a relaxing, de-stressing treatment, to a Manicure or Pedicure both of which will condition and nourish your hands or feet and include a relaxing massage.
All these treatments and therapies are designed for the clients to have a moment to ‘step off the tread-mill’ and take time out for themselves to enjoy, relax and un-wind.
REFLEXOLOGY – HOW DOES IT WORK?
There are ten energy zones that run the length of the body from head to toe – five on each side of the body, ending in each foot and running down the arms into the tips of the fingers. The zones run length wise and pass through the body, so the zones located on the front of the body can also be reached from behind. All the organs and parts of the body lie along one or more of these zones. Each zone can be considered a channel for life energy. By stimulating or ‘working’ any zone in the foot, by applying pressure with the thumbs and fingers, affects the entire zone throughout the body. For example, working a zone on the foot along which the kidneys lie, will release vital energy that may be blocked somewhere else in that zone, such as the eyes. Working the kidney reflex area on the foot will therefore revitalize and balance the entire zone and improve functioning of the organ.
Good health depends on balance. Excessive stress disrupts this balance.
Reflexology alleviates the effects of stress by inducing deep relaxation, allowing the nervous system to calm down and function more normally so aiding a sense of well-being on all levels.
Energy pathways are opened up. Order and harmony are restored. The body is normalized as the 7 centres – known in Eastern medicine as chakras, are unblocked. The body returns to its natural rhythms. Energy flows. The body, mind and spirit are brought back into balance.

AROMATHERAPY – ESSENTIAL OILS
We are not at the start of the summer holiday season which is also the time of year when there are biting insects around. Preventing being bitten is fairly straightforward and a far better option than trying to ‘cure’ the ‘bite’. Use lemongrass or citronella – used in a diffuser inside, or outside burn a candle infused with either of these oils, to keep insects away. Alternatively, fill a small container with hot water, put a couple of drops of lemongrass, citronella, lavender, thyme, or peppermint on the surface of the water and place by the window or where the insects may enter your room.
To deter insects from landing on your skin, as a general rule, use lavender. – Mix 2 drops of lavender in 1 dessertspoon of vegetable oil such as almond oil, and smooth onto skin, for a body rub or simply add a drop of neat lavender to any lotion or cream you may have. Use before going out in the evening or before bed, on all the exposed parts of your skin.
Overnight try putting 2 drops of essential oil on a cotton bud or tissue and leave somewhere near your bed.
Avoid perfume as this often attracts unwanted biting insects.
Happy Summer to you all !!
AROMATHERAPY
One of the wonderful things about using essential oils, both cosmetically and medically, is that they enter and leave the body leaving no toxins behind The most effective way to use essential oils is by external application via massage using oil, compresses, baths and lotions, or inhalation by steam, room sprays etc.
REFLEXOLOGY LYMPH DRAINAGE
RLD aims to stimulate the function of the Lymphatic System and drain excess lymph from the damaged area – where surgery has been performed. RLD is an award winning reflexology technique which focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet. The aim is to cause an effect on the lymphatic system in the body. It is a unique sequence that has been researched and developed by Sally Kay BSc(Hon), whilst working in Cancer Care. The results appear to support the theory of reflexology.

REFLEXOLOGY LYMPH DRAINAGE.
Reflexology is based on the principle that reflex points on the soles, top and sides of the feet correspond to different areas of the body. In this way the feet can be seen as a ‘map’ of the body. By applying a specialised massage technique to specific reflex points – using thumbs, fingers and knuckles – the aim of a reflexology treatment is to help restore balance to the body naturally and improve the clients general well-being. Reflexology Lymph Drainage works specifically on the lymphatic reflex points aiming to stimulate the function of the Lymphatic System and drain excess lymph, thereby reducing swollen areas of the body where the lymph has collected, such as fingers, wrists, arms, legs and ankles.
MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE – MLD – is used to treat many conditions and Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD) may be used similarly.
MLD and RLD may be useful with the following conditions:
Arthritis Asthma
Aches and pains Eczema
Chronic Fatigue Fibromyalgia
Lymphoedema ME
Muscle Tension Migraine
Headaches Sinus Problems
Pre Menstrual Syndrome
WAYS TO CLEANSE YOUR LYMPHATIC SYSTEM – Our Lymphatic system is our bodies waste collecting and waste disposal system. Because the Lymphatic system does not have a pump like the heart, it relies on physical movement of the body. There are several ways we can help activate our Lymphatic system.
- Dry rough sponge or brushing the skin, every day to stimulate the skin and generate movement of the lymph through the lymphatic system.
- Exercise is the most direct way to move and clean the Lymphatic system and rebounding is one of the best exercises to activate the Lymphatic system,
- Alternate the water from hot to cold in your daily shower. One minute warm and one minute cold for a total of five minutes ending with cold. This generates pumping of the lymph through the Lymphatic system.
MANUAL LYMPH DRAINAGE – MLD – is a very gentle technique which, by moving the skin and pumping rhythmically in the direction of the lymph flow, helps the lymph to flow and collect on its journey, waste products and reduce fluid retention and lymphoedema. It has been sited as beneficial for those with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME); pre and post surgery including Vaso Lipo; breast masectomy; fibromyalgia; recurring illness; infections and stress.

REFLEXOLOGY TO REMOVE STRESS – We live with stress in our every day lives. In itself, stress is neither good nor bad, but becomes a problem when we fail to manage it well and the body’s defenses break down and we become susceptible to illness and disease. It is estimated that 75% plus of all illness is related to stress. Reflexology reduces stress by generating deep, tranquil relaxation, that helps the body balance itself and allow healing energy to flow gently and smoothly throughout.
REFLEXOLOGY is a method for activating the healing powers of the body. Touching our feet is not something we ordinarily do, other than when washing or dressing. Most of us live busy lives that have very little time for just relaxing and ‘being’. Reflexology can provide a quiet island in the course of each day where we can stop and renew ourselves before returning to our busy worlds with renewed energy and enthusiasm. Reflexology can be the first step in discovering other ways to live a happier, healthier life. So, take the first step to discover a new way to relax, destress and unwind and renew your energy and enthusiasm.
AROMATHERAPY uses the natural aromatic essences or oil extracted from many parts of wild or cultivated plants, including the root, bark, flowers or leaves. Oils come from spices and seeds too. Fruit such as lemon and vegetables such as carrot and celery also produce essential oils, and some oils, such as bergamot, myrrh and frankincense are oils distilled from tree resins. Each oil consists of many organic constituents which unite to produce a wide range of therapeutic qualities.
Aromatherapy may be thought of as a mere beauty massage treatment but, in actual fact the use of plants to cure disease is as old as the human race. Combining essential oils with a carrier oil such as grapeseed or almond oil and massaging into the skin, will activate the nerve endings and stimulate the circulation of the blood to the surface of the skin and thereby aid in absorption of the oils into the body.
Pamper Days
We all deserve some pampering and a lovely way to do this is with a group of friends, to celebrate a birthday, Christmas, a Hen-Do, or just to celebrate friendship. Get a group together – between two and four is good to ensure your chosen treatments can all be fitted in. Choose which treatments you would all like and give me a call to arrange an appointment for me to come to you.
Please call me with any queries about treatments and timing.
Oncology Massage

Every client receiving an oncology massage will have the treatment adapted to suit their needs.
