Happy International Women’s Day 💜

I am so lucky to have so many strong and inspirational women in my life but I wouldn’t be half the woman I am without the original ♥️

So this is a post for all of you struggling at the moment…

Today has been a hard day for me for a few reasons, I am normally a positive person, I luckily don’t suffer from any anxiety or anything like that and I’m not normally someone who tells the world how I’m genuinely feeling (that honour is saved for my besties 😘) but…

I felt it was necessary to share that even with all the knowledge in my toolbox, the yoga training etc, sometimes you can’t help let the s**t get on top of you.
And that’s ok, doesn’t mean that because you normally cope and look on the bright side that your feelings are any less valid and sometimes when someone says “think of all the things you should be grateful for” or “one day at a time” doesn’t mean you aren’t thinking about punching them in the face!😜

I suppose what I am trying to say is that despite how people seem on the outside or on their profiles that look perfect, we are all struggling in some way every now and then, so please try and be kind…always 🙏

P.S. Yes I’m fine, thank you for caring and tomorrow is a new day!

How long have you been putting up with that pain in your neck - not your significant other - can’t help you with that I’m afraid!😂

But I can help ease the pain and stress from your head and neck so you can concentrate better and think clearer, wouldn’t that be nice?!

And I always create a safe space for everyone so if you need to vent about your significant other you are always more than welcome 🙏

Thai bodywork can be very gentle...no really it can!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
A lot of people have this perception and Thai bodywork can be deep, but it doesn't have to be.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It depends again on the consultation, so what sort of work we feel you may need, what sort of pressure you prefer and if you want us to work in a specific problem area that perhaps could be tender.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Your therapist should check in with you from time to time to check that the level of pressure feels ok, they should not bully their way into the body, do extravagant stretches because it looks good or go deep unless the body has been prepared properly first, otherwise this is NOT Traditional Thai bodywork.⁠⁠

If you google this there are some interesting ideas on "Traditional Thai bodywork" such as...⁠⁠
⁠⁠
No oils or lotions are used⁠⁠
The body is pulled and stretched⁠⁠
It is basically applied yoga⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Not always true⁠⁠
Sometimes...if needed⁠⁠
And just NO!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
A practitioner may use their hands, thumbs, elbows, forearms and sometimes our feet during a treatment. Our body weight is normally used to apply pressure to help release tension in your muscles. Depending on what comes up in your consultation determines whether we use herbal compresses, oils, balms, liniments or if the body needs to be stretched.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I like to use herbal compresses in all of my treatments if possible, each time you come for some bodywork the session will most probably be different than to the time before.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Also, Traditional Thai bodywork isn't yoga...trust me, I'm a yoga teacher!!! If you have anymore questions you would like to ask then send me a DM and perhaps I can answer your question on tomorrows post?⁠⁠
