Newsletter - August 2023
An Introduction From Me
Hey Everyone.
Welcome to my second newsletter which will give a little update on what I have been doing recently and what I am planning for the coming months.
I hope you have all been enjoying your summer, even if the weather has been a bit rubbish!. Back in June I had a lovely holiday to Sicily which was very relaxing and much needed. The weather was lovely as I travelled before the heat wave, and was amazing and the food was fantastic!
I hope you all enjoy the content of this newsletter, please feel free to give me any feedback you have or any ideas you would like to read about in future issues.
Happy Reading!
Clinic News
I’ve been busy learning….
Over the last couple of months I have done some additional learning to keep up to date with the current evidence regarding the benefits of massage treatments. I completed a series of interactive webinars which were run by “The ST School” (a soft tissue training provider based in Exeter) and were delivered by Anna-Maria Mazzieri and Eric Purves. Both Anna-Maria and Eric are experts within the field of massage and in-particular the benefits of treating people with chronic pain conditions.
The content of the webinars was to help understand how best to treat people with chronic pain, fibromyalgia and non-specific lower back pain. It was really good to hear how massage treatments can help people with these conditions, understanding how to help people to talk openly about ho they feel, relax and move in a safe way. All this can help people living with chronic pain to live with their conditions and hopefully feel like they are back in control of their lives.
If you are suffering with ongoing pain then feel free to contact me to see how I can help.
Next month I am also continuing with learning and attending a 2 day course in Birmingham. The course is titled Demoneuromodulation (DMN) and is focused on how touching the skin can interact with the nerves in our bodies and therefore influence pain. I am very much looking forward to the course as it will build on what I learned in my recent webinars. I’ll hopefully know lots more after my course and I’ll put more information in the next newsletter.
Back in May I spent the day treating runners at the Bewl Water reservoir run. People were running either a 10km, a half, full or ultra marathon. It was a busy day with runners seeking a treatment after their run. Conditions on the day were challenging but everybody said what a great event it was and really well organised. I will be back down at Bewl Water on the 9th September working with LA Sports Therapy and i’m very much looking forward to it.

Other News
Some of you may know that me and my husband were hosting a Ukrainian family. They joined us in May 2022 and it was a pleasure to share our house with them and we loved getting to know them. In May 2023 they were lucky enough to move into their own property and to continue building their lives in the UK. They are still living close to us and still very much part of our family x.
On Saturday the 9th September I will be offering post event Sports Massage treatments at Bewl Water, Kent, which is a race organised by Hermes Running. I really enjoy doing these events as it’s great to treat runners straight after they have finished their run. I love hearing their stories and hear and helping them to feel better.
Who wouldn’t want a massage after running a half, full or ultra marathon!
