My little Wellness Room has some BIG news!

I’m thrilled to share that The Wellness Room is a finalist for Best Small Business at The UK Small Business Awards 2026!

Creating a space where women feel listened to, cared for & able to take time for themselves means so much to me. To have that work recognised is something I’m incredibly proud of.

Every appointment, review, recommendation & word of encouragement has helped my small business grow. Thank you for being part of it.

So, What Is Body Contouring?

It’s a treatment designed to help reduce measurements & improve the shape of targeted areas, such as your tummy & thighs.

At The Wellness Room, I use Celluma Contour, which delivers red & near-infrared LED light. This is designed to encourage fat cells to release some of their stored fat, which your body then processes naturally.

No needles. No surgery. No downtime.

Curious? Why not try my November special?

30 minutes of Celluma Contour over your tummy & thighs, followed by 30 minutes of gentle lymph drainage massage.

60 minutes • £80

Settle onto the warm couch & experience it for yourself.

Love your trial session? Enjoy £100 off a course starting in January. T&Cs apply.

Only a handful of November appointments left.

Message me “CONTOUR” to book yours.

A Heartfelt Thank You 💗

Thank you to all the lovely ladies who came to my first Charity Open Morning & everyone who ordered through the link.

Your support is helping to fill a hamper for a lady undergoing chemotherapy, & I can’t wait to share a photo of the finished hamper with you!

I was so excited & caught up in the morning that I only managed a couple of photos showing the ladies that supported the event in person.

And although October has ended, breast awareness continues all year.

Check your breasts regularly & get to know what looks & feels normal for you. Changes aren’t always a lump. They can include skin dimpling or puckering, unusual ni**le discharge, a ni**le turning inwards, or changes in breast size or shape.

If you notice anything new or unusual, or you’re unsure, please contact your GP & get it checked.

Thank you again for helping me support such a worthy cause.

Hello November 🍂

Leaving home in the dark & coming back in the dark? It can feel as though you’ve missed the whole day.

As the days grow shorter, making a little space for daylight & nature can support how we feel. Natural light helps keep our body clock in rhythm, supporting sleep & mood, while time outdoors offers a chance to move, pause & reconnect.

It could be a short lunchtime walk, a cuppa in the garden or a few quiet moments watching the trees. You don’t need a long countryside walk to enjoy a little time with nature.

Step away from your screen, notice the autumn colours, listen to the birds & let your shoulders soften.

This November, give yourself permission to pause & catch a little daylight whenever you can.

Where’s your favourite place to enjoy a moment outdoors?

Could Reiki Support Your Quality of Life?

A research review published in 2025 brought together 11 studies exploring Reiki & quality of life.

The combined results were encouraging, suggesting that Reiki may help improve quality of life. The review considered its potential role for:

• People living with cancer
• People undergoing surgery
• People managing chronic conditions
• Healthy adults

With my Nursing background & passion for holistic therapies, I’m interested in research that helps us understand the potential value of complementary approaches.

At The Wellness Room, your Reiki appointment gives you dedicated time for yourself in a calm, welcoming space. You remain fully clothed, resting on my warm, cosy couch while I gently place my hands on or just above your body. Each session is unhurried, with your comfort at the heart of the experience.

Reiki is a complementary approach. It does not replace medical care but can be experienced alongside it.

To find out more or enquire about an appointment, message me “Reiki”.

You can be coping & still need support.

Getting through your working day.
Being there for everyone.
Keeping everything ticking over.

But how are you feeling?

When women talk to me about Perimenopause & Menopause, it’s often the everyday things they want to discuss. How they’re feeling, what they’re finding difficult & where to begin with looking after themselves.

You don’t need to have everything worked out before asking for support.

At The Wellness Room, I offer personalised Menopause Support, giving you space to talk openly about how you’re feeling & explore practical lifestyle changes that fit your life, alongside any medical care you may need.

My own Menopause experience, Nursing background & training as a Menopause Lifestyle Practitioner all shape the support I offer.

Perhaps today, give yourself a moment to ask: “What do I need?”

Not sure where to begin? Message me “Support” to arrange a free 10-minute chat about what you’re looking for & whether my Menopause Support could be right for you.

Did you know you could have reflexology on your face?

My Mian Dui Reflexology Ritual invites you to settle onto my warm, cosy couch, close your eyes & discover a different way to unwind.

As you enjoy the gentle rhythm of the massage, you may begin to notice your brow softening, your jaw relaxing & your shoulders settling.

For this little while, there is nothing you need to organise, achieve or take care of. Simply allow yourself to be cared for.

Pause. Breathe. Relearn how to relax.

Happy Wellness Wednesday

How long have you been carrying that tight, heavy feeling across your shoulders?

You may feel it when driving, working, looking down at your phone or trying to settle comfortably at the end of the day.

Massage can help ease muscular tightness, relax the surrounding area and give your shoulders permission to soften.

Between treatments, place gentle warmth across your shoulders for 15 to 20 minutes. Use a purpose-made heat pack or electric heat pad on a low setting, always following the manufacturer’s instructions.

During my nursing career, I treated burns caused by hot water bottles that had leaked or burst. That experience is why I recommend choosing a heat pack or electric heat pad instead.

As the warmth settles across the area, allow yourself to pause and notice whether the muscles begin to feel more comfortable.

The heat should feel comfortably warm. Check your skin regularly and never fall asleep with it switched on.

This advice is for muscular tension. If you have injured your shoulder, or the pain persists, worsens or limits movement, please see your GP before using heat or having a massage.

If your shoulders are telling you they need some attention, message me to arrange your massage 💟
