Heart health matters
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, with stroke closely following. Many of these conditions are strongly influenced by lifestyle factors such as diet, smoking, physical inactivity, and ageing populations.
🌿 Research Spotlight
Effects of Essential Oil Inhalation on Daytime Salivary Cortisol and Systolic Blood Pressure
In a randomised controlled trial of 83 hypertensive patients, inhalation of a blend of Lavender, Ylang-Ylang, and Neroli was associated with significant reductions in systolic blood pressure and daytime cortisol levels.
The study suggests that aromatic compounds may help support autonomic nervous system regulation, potentially reducing cardiac workload and supporting vascular health.

Many people live with back pain and muscle tension for far longer than they need to.
Sports massage & soft tissue therapy can help reduce feeling of tightness in your muscles, improve mobility, and support better posture, helping your body move more comfortably day to day.
Whether your aches come from long hours at a desk, training, or everyday stress, treatment is tailored to what your body needs.
Clients often leave feeling more relaxed, less discomfort and able to move more easily.

It's half-term, it's hot, you've been catching up on yourself, work, kids activities, household chores. You feel a bit stressed, you can feel the tension building in your shoulders, your legs feel heavy and your feet ache. Sometimes you just need a minute to yourself!
Even a half hour massage to target problem areas or a seated acupressure massage if you'd rather not remove any clothing.
DM me for a chat to see how I can help you.

Recently, one of my clients asked me about which supplements are most helpful for women during perimenopause & menopause. Although I have heard/read about benefits of vitamin D (which I take ) and Magnesium, I couldn't give her a clear answer so I had had a bit of a read around the subject and put in in a blog on my website. I have heard from professionals such as about current research on the benefits of creatine but I should say that life style elements such as:
🔹sleep
🔹weight-bearing exercise
🔹good nutrition
🔹stress management
(not all of which I manage practice regularly 😬) are key.
I would appreciate your thoughts.
