June, The Month to Shine

Our theme for June is to shine, and as the days grow longer and brighter, we are reminded of the importance of allowing ourselves to do the same. With the warmth of the sun on our faces and the benefit of natural vitamin D, this is a wonderful time to embrace the outdoors, nourish our bodies, and find joy in the things that make us feel most alive. Shining is about recognising your own strengths, celebrating small moments, and bringing kindness and positivity to those around you. Shine for yourself, and shine for others.

We are also celebrating men's health and connection this month. By popular request, we have launched a monthly men's discussion group, meeting over coffee on a Thursday morning. It is a relaxed and welcoming space to meet others, chat, and enjoy good company, and we are delighted to host it. The group is free of charge and open to all. Spaces are limited, so if you would like to join us, please call reception to reserve your place.

With love and best wishes

As we embrace this month's theme of Shine, it is also a good opportunity to think about your long-term health. Looking after yourself starts with understanding your body, and early screening can make a real difference. I offer diabetes screening and personalised support to help you take positive steps towards better health. Whether you have concerns, a family history of diabetes, or simply want reassurance, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

I’m a holistic therapist, skincare specialist, and coach with a passion for helping people achieve balance, healing, and well-being. My approach is all about supporting both the body and mind, offering therapies that nurture physical and emotional health while empowering you to step into a more balanced and thriving life.

I offer a range of treatments, including massage, Reiki, EFT, and holistic facials, all tailored to meet your unique needs. I believe in the body's innate ability to heal when given the right environment and support, which is why my work is grounded in mindfulness, compassion, and a deep understanding of the mind-body connection.
