The nights are getting darker and it has already got me thinking about winter, and dare I say it, but Christmas too.

So I have been busy this week working on a new gift voucher design with a more Christmassy look to them. They'll be available to purchase from 1st October from £25.00 upwards to part or fully pay for any massage.

Message me to purchase a gift voucher: 07795 361 659 or info@featherandstonemassage.com or use the contact form on my Booking page. 

 

19th September 2022:

I am taking some time out next week to learn some new massage techniques at JING massage training school in Brighton.

The training course is a mix of East and West bodywork techniques including acupressure, trigger point therapy and fascia work and it will mean I can help treat chronic pain conditions like sciatica, frozen shoulder, sports injuries and knee pain, as well as systemic issues like fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and plantar fascitis. So watch this space for some exciting new treatments on my price list.

World Mental Health Day

I don't often write something this personal in a public forum, but mental health and well-being is very important to me. I genuinely feel a close connection to all of my clients, it's why I love this work so much.

 

Massage for me, is about more than getting rid of knots. Of course I hope you leave the massage room feeling physically better, but more than anything I want my clients to walk away with a sense of peace and inner calm.

 

Whatever comes up during the massage is ok. Sometimes massage can release some unexpected emotions but it is normal and part of the process and not something to be embarrassed about. It also goes without staying that anything a client shares with me in the massage room, will always stay confidential.

 

Massage should be holistic and treat the whole person, not just the lumps and bumps and aches and pains.

The month of December can be so chaotic with all of the shopping, preparations and socialising.it is so important to balance that by creating space for some 'me' time too.

I will be there treating everyone to a mini head and shoulder massage during the sound bath. Come along.... there are a few tickets still available.

I thought I might have a quiet couple of weeks after Christmas, but there is a lot happening this month already.

Firstly I am excited to be invited back to more Women's Wellness 'Deep Rest & Relaxation' events over the next few weeks.

The first is at Sanctuary Hall within Trinity Church, High Wycombe on Tuesday 17th January between 19:30-20.30 https://fb.me/e/3k6Ep2fXv

The second event is a little closer to home at Liston Hall in Marlow on Friday 3rd February between 19:30 – 21:00. https://fb.me/e/3hQM97bZd

I will be there treating everyone to a mini head and shoulder massage during the sound bath. Come along.... £25 for 1.5 hours of deep rest and relaxation. Email lucywalford@yahoo.co.uk to book your space.

I will also be working with Lucy at a Women's Wellness Retreat in Charney Bassett manor on the weekend of the 20th - 22nd January, which means I will not be available for appointments across that weekend.

September 2023

Big News!!  Many of you know already that I have been studying for my level 5 sports massage therapy qualification and the first year of my BTEC in Advanced Clinical Massage training. It has been taking up a lot of my free time, which is why I have been a little bit quieter on social media than normal.  But I am pleased to say I am almost all the way through it now.  Just a couple of final exams to get through. Eek !!! 

This training enables me to treat more complex musculoskeletal issues.  I have been incorporating some of the techniques into my regular massages, especially if you tell me that you have a particular condition that you want me to treat.  I will be updating the website shortly to offer more focused treatments for medical conditions in addition to the other types of massage that I offer.
