Newsletter - March 2024
An Introduction From Me
Hey Everyone.
Welcome to my fourth newsletter which will give an update on what I have been doing recently and what I am planning for the coming months.
Thankfully we are now into spring and although the weather doesn’t really reflect this, the days are getting longer and I have my fingers crossed for some drier and warmer weather soon.
The winter was quite busy for me, with lots for new and regular clients visiting for treatments. I’ve been seeing lots of runners who are training for their spring marathons and it has been good to hear there stories.
I was lucky enough to have a winter holiday and visited Thailand in January which was lovely. It was great to escape the winter gloom and see the sunshine, blue skies and to have some wonderful food.
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!

TREATING RUNNERS
I’ve been treating lots of runners recently, helping to ease their tired legs. With the Manchester, Brighton and London Marathons all planned for next month runners are currently clocking up the training miles. It’s really nice to be part of peoples training programme and to help ease their fatigue, help to achieve quality rest and treat and prevent any little niggles they might be experiencing.
EVENT WORK
Back in January I was helping to treat runners at the Tadworth 10 in Epsom. It was a really good event and the weather was really kind to all the runners. The event was very well organised and I was lucky to work with Louise Acher in offering post-event sports massage. The event was well supported and lots of runners came for treatments which I think they appreciated.
Hopefully Louise and I can work together at the event next year as it was a lot of fun!
DECORATING MY TREATMENT ROOM
Ive had a bit of a decorating done in my treatment room and i’m very happy with the result. I wanted my room to feel a bit warmer and more welcoming so I have given the walls a lick of paint. I think the colour scheme is less clinical and it should feel more relaxing and comfortable for my clients.
Hopefully new and existing clients will like what i’ve done with the place.
TRAINING AND CPD FOR 2024
So i’ve been planning my training and CPD for 2024. There are a number of different courses I would like to do; to bring new experiences for my clients. In April 2024 I am attending an Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation course (IASTM). This will allow me to use certain instruments when treating clients as there are many benefits to using these instruments. I will write some move about this on my Instagram and website after I have done the training so watch this space!
I am also attending a Massage Masterclass Workshop in June, offered by the ST School. This will give me the opportunity to mix with other therapists and learn and share different experiences with them. I’m very much looking forward to this and I should pick up some more tips and tricks to use in my clinic.

PARK RUN
You might remember in my last newsletter I mentioned that I have started doing Park Run. I have now been to 15 park runs and have a PB of 22:14. I am going to train hard this year to try and improve on my PB. My Husband has also been coming with me and it has been nice doing this together. Although it’s a bit annoying as he has now completed more than me as I often work in my clinic on a Saturday morning treating clients - never mind!
HOLIDAY TO THAILAND
As I mentioned in the introduction I recently had a holiday to Thailand. I was really lovely to have some time away from home and work, to see the sun shining and to see a big blue sky. We had a lovely time, swimming, reading books, listening to podcasts and eating and drinking lovely food.
I’m looking forward to my next break away now - I love a holiday!
