Home Care Advice

My very simple tips after having a Holistic Massage or Facial…

  • Increase the amount of water you drink every day. Drink at least 8 glasses on the day of treatment to help flush out toxins that I would have released. Not drinking the water may lead to headaches and achy muscles - trust me drink the water!!

  • After your treatment try and relax for the rest of the day. Have all your jobs done before you come to me so you can go home and curl up to relax.

  • Listen to your body if you feel you need to go to bed, go and take a nap.

  • Avoid alcohol, smoking, caffeine, and fizzy drinks afterward as they can dehydrate your body and only add more toxins. This would reverse the effects of the massage

  • Avoid eating a heavy meal after your massage so your body can focus on natural healing and detoxifying itself.

  • Taking a warm bath once a week put in a few drops of lavender oil to help soothe muscles and calm stressed minds

  • Find time to get out in the fresh air - even for a short walk

  • Hug your dog, spend time with animals

  • Be aware of your posture!

  • Eat regular and cut back on sugary and fatty food - eating little and often will help keep your energy up and stop you having slumps during the day.

  • Do you find it hard to fall asleep? - I always recommend clients to listen to guided meditation- I personally love listening to the Honest Guys which can be found on YouTube
    Light a candle a hour before going to bed. I always recommend my Lavender candle.

  • Mind yourself - and try and put yourself first a little bit more - easier said than done I'm well aware of this.

  • Say 'no' a little bit more and try and not to feel guilty in doing so - Guilt is a waste of time and energy

  • Practice gratitude.

  • Take a daily 20/30 minute brisk walk, breathing as fully and deeply as possible.

  • When indoors go without shoes whenever possible.

  • Weather permitting walk with bare feet outdoors particularly on grass, sand, sea and river or lakeside stones as this is a mini Reflexology treatment.

  • In cold weather soaking the feet in hot water before bedtime will help revive circulation. Adding sea salt or a small sack of freshly grated ginger is also beneficial.

  • Try herbal teas instead allowing them to infuse for the correct amount of time to extract maximum flavour.

  • Try to spend some time consciously relaxing each day by sitting quietly, listening to relaxing music, meditation, yoga, etc., to help your body de-stress.

  • Take a social media detox every now and again.

  • Book another Massage and give yourself something to look forward to.
