My last day before Christmas will be Thursday 23rd of December and I’ll be available again week commencing Monday 17th of January.

As I’m sure you are all aware, Covid-19 cases appear to be on the rise again. As a close contact service working from a (very) small room with a number of elderly and vulnerable clients, I took the decision to keep all Covid-19 precautions in place when they were eased in July to keep everyone as safe and protected as possible. I understand that Covid-19 is a contentious subject for some and we all have different views, but I respectfully ask that people continue to observe the following conditions:

• Masks are to be worn during treatment unless you are told otherwise, so please bring one with you.
• Obviously masks are not an option if you have the acupressure and face lift massage so for this reason I am only booking in these sessions as the last appointment at the end of the day so no other clients are in the room afterwards.
• Covid-19 screening forms should be completed 48-24 hours before your session. If you arrive at your booking without the screening completed, you will be asked to complete it in your appointment time. If you are unable to agree and sign it when you arrive your appointment will be cancelled and you will be charged the full fee.
• Please leave 7 days before booking between any Covid-19 vaccinations, including boosters. Although this is not an official requirement, side effects are most commonly experienced within this timeframe so it makes sense to hold off getting massaged until after this period.
• If you have any Covid-19 symptoms cancel your booking and wait at least 14 days from the day your symptoms started to rebook.
• If you have been in contact with someone who has had a positive test, you will be required to do a lateral flow test *if you do not have symptoms*, or a PCR test *if you have symptoms* which obviously need to be negative before I can book you in for a session.
• I have allowed cash payments but please pay by bank transfer if you can to reduce contamination.

Sorry if that all sounds terribly boring and serious, but lets all try and stay safe and well!

*All bookings need to be taken before November 1st. For the £10 off offer payment for both treatments are required at the time of booking.

Ever been told you look stressed? Our face is often the first place that shows signs of stress and tension and that can manifest itself in a number of ways such as a tight jaw, a furrowed brow or headaches, which in turn can then lead to chronic aches and pains; especially around the eyes, jaw, neck and shoulders.

The face massage is not to be confused with a traditional facial; it’s a mixture of acupressure (similar to traditional acupuncture), and muscle manipulation which helps to release tension in the facial muscles leaving you feeling relaxed and energised.

Organic Weleda products are used to cleanse, massage and hydrate the face, and a mini neck and shoulder massage is also included in your treatment. This is a great treatment for those who experience headaches, stress, anxiety or muscle tightness around the head, neck, and shoulders. This isn’t just for the ladies either, so get booking guys!

The face massage is available from the 19th of October, you can book online here.

I am now back from my break, a year older but not sadly not wiser sadly! To celebrate my birthday month anyone who books a massage between the 15th – 30th of September will be entered to win a 60 minute sports massage. To book either contact me direct or book online at https://fitforlonger.co.uk/packages/

From the 20th of September my weekday availability will be more flexible and not just restricted to Mon/Wed/Fridays so please check online for available days.

See you all soon!

I’m off for a break from Wednesday 1st of September and only have 2 more slots available on Tuesday the 31st of August before I am off until September the 15th so get in quick if you want to see me before I go!

Due to my 2 week break and a weekend course I only have one Saturday available for the whole of September (25th) so please book asap if you want a Saturday slot next month.

Please note; I will not be replying to any work related calls, texts or emails during my break.

I look forward to seeing you all when I return!

Many thanks,

Just giving everyone a heads up that I will be away on holiday from 1st – 14th of September so unavailable for bookings between those dates. I also only have 2 Saturday massage slots left for the whole of August so get in quick if you want to book a Saturday before I go!

When I return after my break in September I will be offering a new massage service along with sports massages – Facial Lift Massage, which leaves the face feeling refreshed, toned and lifted using muscle manipulation and lymphatic drainage. This is not to be confused with a traditional beauty facial which is done for skin care – think of the Facial Lift Massage as a mini workout for your face! More details of availability and prices nearer the time.
