IF YOU KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT SELF-CARE IS TOO EXPENSIVE…

Let’s gently compare.

How often do you order a takeaway because you’re too tired to cook?

Go through the drive-through because it’s quick and convenient?

Or pick up coffees that feel like a little lift in the moment—but quietly add up across the week?

There is absolutely no judgement here. Life is busy, and sometimes convenience is exactly what we need.

But a takeaway or drive-through visit can easily cost £25 or more. Depending on what and when we eat or drink, that momentary treat can sometimes be followed by sluggish digestion, heartburn, an energy slump or difficulty sleeping.

Yet when it comes to spending that same £25 on ourselves, we often hesitate.

Can I justify it?

Should I really be spending that on me?

Perhaps I’ll wait until next month…

But £25 can also buy you a morning appointment.

Time in a warm, private space where nobody needs anything from you.

Time to stop rushing, let your shoulders drop and receive some of the care you so readily give to everybody else.

Possible side effects may include:

Feeling so deeply relaxed that you practically float home. 🤍

This isn’t about giving up takeaways or coffee.

It’s simply a reminder that looking after yourself is allowed to be one of the things you choose, too.

My £25 morning appointments are available Monday to Friday between 9am and 12pm, with your consultation included.

Message me MORNING to ask which appointments are currently available.

CONTENT NOTE:

This post discusses su***de and the lasting impact of witnessing a death.

THIS IS SOMETHING VERY PERSONAL TO US.

September is widely recognised as Su***de Prevention Month, and 10th September is World Su***de Prevention Day.

This year’s message, Changing the Narrative on Su***de, feels especially close to our hearts.

This November will mark two years since Oz experienced something that has had a profound and lasting impact on him.

He was instructing a candidate in a 44-tonne HGV when, without warning, a gentleman jumped into the vehicle’s path and died by su***de.

Witnessing that moment changed him.

Su***de can affect far more people than those who knew the person personally.
Its impact can also be carried by witnesses, drivers, emergency workers and everyone caught up in the aftermath.

We can hold compassion for the gentleman and whatever pain he was experiencing, while also speaking honestly about the trauma left with others.

Recognising how much pain can exist unseen, removing the shame around asking for help and making sure people know that support is available before things reach a crisis point is essential.

If you are struggling, you do not need to find the perfect words. Saying “I’m not coping,” “I don’t feel safe on my own,” or simply “I need help” is enough to begin.

Help is available now:

📞 Samaritans: Call 116 123 free, day or night.

📞 NHS Wales urgent mental-health support: Call 111 and press 2. Free, available 24/7 and open to all ages.

📱 Shout: Text SHOUT to 85258 for free, confidential support, 24/7.

🚨 If someone is in immediate danger, call 999 or go to the nearest A&E.

Please do not wait for a reply to this post if you need urgent help.

Save or share these numbers—you may never know who needs to see them. 🤍

✨A little gratitude post from my heart this morning … ✨

Starting a business is one thing.

Starting a business after moving to a completely new area is something else entirely.

There are days when it feels exciting and full of possibility. There are also days when it feels overwhelming, lonely, and incredibly vulnerable.

…….putting yourself out there every single day.

Sharing your story.
Talking about your services.
Showing up on social media.
Learning skills you never imagined you’d need to learn.

The reality is that most small business owners don’t start out as marketing experts, content creators, photographers, website designers, accountants, and social media managers.

Yet somehow we find ourselves trying to be all of those things at once. Mostly, I feel like I’m playing whack a mole blindfolded.

There have been moments where I’ve questioned myself, doubted myself, and wondered whether anyone was even seeing the effort behind the scenes.

Then…
Someone shares a post.
Someone leaves a kind comment.
Someone recommends me to a friend.
Someone sends an encouraging message.
Someone books a treatment.
Someone believes in what I’m creating.

And suddenly I remember why I started.

To every client who has trusted me.

To every person who has liked, shared, commented, recommended, supported, encouraged, or simply cheered me on from the sidelines.

Thank you.

Your support means more than you’ll ever know.

The cards and little gifts, the thoughtful messages, the words of encouragement, the recommendations, and the kindness I’ve been shown have helped me keep going on the days when things felt hard.

Building a business is about so much more than services and sales.

It’s about people, building a connection. Creating a community.

I feel incredibly grateful for the wonderful people I’ve met along the way.

If you’re reading this and you’ve supported The Coverts Coastal Retreat in any way, please know I’m truly thankful for you. 💚

Here’s to growing, learning, connecting, and building something beautiful together.

WHY DO WE WAIT UNTIL WE’RE COMPLETELY BURNT OUT BEFORE WE DO SOMETHING?

You’ve slipped into a pattern.

You can’t sleep properly.
You feel tired all the time.
You’re becoming irritated or snappy.
You struggle to keep social plans.
One more task feels overwhelming.
Another notification feels like too much.

These experiences may have become common—but that doesn’t mean we should normalise living this way.

So often, we approach our wellbeing reactively.

We rest only when our body forces us to stop.

We ask for help only when we can no longer cope.

We make changes when we’re already so exhausted and stressed that we can’t think clearly enough to know where to begin.

Since my illness, I’ve learned this the hard way.

I do believe we should care for ourselves consistently, rather than waiting until we reach breaking point to give ourselves permission to stop.

Self-care doesn’t always mean a treatment, it could be:

Protecting your sleep.
Moving your body.
Eating properly.
Setting a boundary.
Cancelling something without guilt.
Asking for support.
Putting your phone down.
Or spending time somewhere nobody needs anything from you.

Please don’t wait until you’re falling apart to start looking after yourself. 🤍

A little hello—and a huge thank you to everyone who has followed The Covert’s Coastal Retreat. 🤍

Every like, comment and share helps this little business reach someone who may really need a place to pause, breathe and switch off.

If you know someone who would love a holistic treatment or private wellness retreat here in Old Colwyn, please don’t keep me a secret—tell your friends! ✨

IF LIFE HAS BEEN ASKING TOO MUCH OF YOU LATELY…

Hello, I’m Sarah-Jane, and I run The Covert’s Coastal Retreat—a calm, private holistic treatment space in Old Colwyn, North Wales.

Right now, many people are carrying stresses and pressures that others may never see.

Perhaps you’re caring for everybody except yourself, grieving a loss, living with illness or supporting somebody who is, navigating perimenopause or menopause, facing difficulties at work or simply feeling stuck in life.

You may be struggling to sleep, lacking motivation, feeling tense or physically worn out, becoming more irritable or overwhelmed—or finding it impossible to properly switch off.

Sometimes, you might not be able to explain what’s wrong. You just don’t feel quite like yourself.

People often contact me knowing they need some time and support, but not knowing which treatment to choose.

That’s absolutely fine.

You don’t need to understand all the different therapies before getting in touch. We can talk about how you’re feeling, what you’re comfortable with and what you would like from your appointment.

I don’t claim that a treatment can remove everything happening in your life. What I can offer is a nurturing, unhurried space where nobody needs anything from you for a while.

Depending on your individual needs and preferences, treatments include:

🤍 Massage and bodywork—including full-body, aromatherapy, hot-stone and manual lymphatic drainage massage, Tui Na and cupping therapy

🤍 Specialist massage—including pregnancy and oncology massage

🤍 Reflexology and holistic facial therapy

🤍 Clinical hypnotherapy, guided meditation and ear seeding

🤍 Reiki, sound therapy and carefully layered signature experiences

Every appointment is private, unhurried and shaped around the individual. I don’t book clients back-to-back, your consultation and aftercare are included, and there is never any pressure to rebook.

Treatments start from £20, with selected daytime, evening and weekend availability.

📍 Old Colwyn, North Wales
🗓️ By appointment only

You’re very welcome to look through my social media / page to see the retreat, read my reviews and learn more about my story and treatments.

I’ve included a link to a newly put together website for you too.

https://coverts-coastal-retreat.sarah-janecarter.chatgpt.site

If you’re unsure where to begin, send me a private message and tell me a little about how you’ve been feeling. I’ll happily guide you through the options.

Relax. Restore. Reconnect.
