Mother’s Day gifting

With Mother’s Day approaching this month we are delighted to be launching a new treatment just in time for them – Acupressure Facial.

This gorgeous new treatment works on specific points on the face, as well as massaging the muscles to release tension and stress leaving you feeling lighter, relaxed and invigorated. By applying pressure it can help to unblock congested energy, strengthen weak energy or calm overactive energy.

As our face structure is designed specifically to allow us to express how we feel it can result in a lot of emotion being held here, especially in the jaw.

The treatment Includes a neck and scalp massage working the tissues to release tension, a facial cleansing to clean and prepare the face ready for the facial massage (we use VerdeKin products) and a facial massage working the body’s organs located on the face using the Chinese face chart to support the whole body

The benefits are numerous and include: Deeply calms the central nervous system and therefore very beneficial for chronic conditions, releases tension in the face by working through the different layers of tissue (these are the most used muscles in our body), Releases fascia (tissue surrounding the skin & organs) and therefore stimulates the production of collagen (reduce those lines!), Increases the blood supply to the face and aids lymphatic drainage supporting the removal of toxins, Stimulates acupressure points to free the energy so the body can begin to re-balance and is a deeply relaxing treatment for your whole body, not just the face!

Appointments are available for 30, 45 and 60 minutes

Seasonal Health

It’s nearly October and there is definitely a chill in the morning air. As often happens a change in season can spark our health to change and often, we get colds and sore throats.

Now is a good time to look at your nutritional intake and adjust it to support the changes occurring. We are lucky to have Inga here at our venue who is trained in nutrition and can advise and recommend key supplements and products to use to support and boost our systems.

As therapists we have to take extra care of ourselves so that we can support our clients, and we are big fans of the delicious Pukka Elderberry Syrup, which is an organic blend including Ginger and Thyme, Elderberry juice, acacia honey and thyme, along with the other herbs in this syrup, and has long been used to help support seasonal health. It is a concentrated broad-spectrum syrup and contains the highest organic grade, sustainably cultivated herbs, carefully selected to bring you the full potential of nature’s goodness.

New treatment offering: Craniosacral Therapy

We are really excited to be now offering a new treatment, Craniosacral therapy (CST).

Bronwen Williams has joined our ever-growing team and offers this gentle but potent way of working with the body using a light touch. CST supports your body’s innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself as well as helping to reduce stress and build underlying energy.

It is suitable for everyone, from new-born babies to the elderly. Bronwen also treats women in their pregnancy, and mothers and their babies for problems associated with difficult or traumatic births. Letting go of tension and fear held in the body enables both mother and baby to settle into calmness.

Meet our new therapist – Ruby Stansfield

1. Tell us about yourself Ruby, what brought you to the world of massage and well-being?

I’d have to say my mum brought me into the world of massage, she is a trained aromatherapist and so growing up I was lucky to receive regular messages from her and also give them in return. This meant that by the time I was an adult I had grown up with an intrinsic understanding of how wonderful it was to receive a massage. At university, it’s something I practised casually with friends. Eventually, I realised it was the thing I loved doing most in the world and decided to formalise it to be officially training to be a massage therapist!
My own journey has also led me to experience many different types of holistic therapies which inspire me to expand my own practice to offer treatments that draw on all kinds of different healing modalities. To me, the journey of well-being that each of us has is the most gratifying experience and I’m so pleased to be able to be on that journey myself and now be a part of others’ journeys too.

  

2. Are there any particular areas of well-being you really love and are interested in?

Most definitely! I am partially passionate about massage for mental health and wellbeing. I think massage is a wonderful tool for mental wellness and it’s a big part of my professional practice and how I want to develop as a practitioner. I wrote my final project when studying massage on working in sync with women’s cycles and adapting my massage practice accordingly. In my personal well-being journey, I love to experience different somatic (body-based practices) as a way of exploring emotions and really enjoy treatments from Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners. 

 

3. Do you have any exciting plans for the summer now we can go out and about again! (was thinking about your massage at festivals here?)

Yes, I am hopefully going to be massaging at some festivals this summer so keep an eye out for me! Having a massage at a festival is the best thing after camping and long nights dancing so I’m excited to be practising in that arena, also I’ll be growing and developing myself at the Bath Massage Company which I am very excited about. Oh and hopefully a holiday in there somewhere too!

 

4. How do you relax and rejuvenate when you are not working?

I practice yoga twice a week with my favourite teachers in Bristol where I live. I also am massively into ritual skincare and baths, and tailor both of those to my daily needs as well as being a big proponent of naps and making the most delicious nourishing food, if you follow my business’s Instagram you’ll be able to see all the yummy food I post!

 

5. Where is your favourite place in Bath?

Rooted Cafe is the best vegetarian/ vegan cafe in the southwest, in my opinion, their full Indian breakfast and poutine are must haves, and their staff is so friendly it’s always a wonderful experience!
