Now the weather is getting noticeably cooler and the nights are drawing in, what better time to enjoy a relaxing massage? If you have the room, why not have it done at home?

An important question for all my female friends please!

Male therapists can find it harder in this business, and I previously asked for feedback about approachability and trustworthiness, to which I received some very encouraging comments.

So, as I'm continuously developing and looking into new courses, this question is directed to any MOTHERS or potential mothers.

I now have the opportunity to train in Pregnancy Massage. A big market but more specialist as it's important to know about the increased risk factors.

How many of you feel that you would get/would have got/did get, some benefit from having one, and how many would be/would have been happy if I were the therapist?

NOTHING TO FEAR

I've just filled out a survey on a therapist forum asking if anyone has a niche group they like to work with.

Of course, I will work with mostly anyone if they don't have a contraindicated condition, and I particularly like to work with those who are just really tense and need to relax, and people who are nervous about massage, or self conscious for some reason.

Top of that list is anyone with psoriasis.

I have read some dreadful stories about rude and/or ignorant therapists who don't recognise it, assume it's contagious, and embarrass people who have already struggled to pluck up courage to try booking.

Well here's a message that works both ways

NOTHING TO FEAR

A good therapist knows they have nothing to fear in performing a massage. And the client has nothing to fear about receiving one. Or uncovering.

Certainly not with me. I've been afflicted in the past, and always could be again. I understand the condition. And since becoming a therapist, I have massaged several clients with psoriasis, some of them coming back to me repeatedly.

So remember, there is NOTHING TO FEAR.

I'm pictured here by my massage chair. Useful for Indian head massage or acupressure, but did you know you could have a full back massage on here, in a seated position lying comfortably forwards? Ideal for anyone who cannot get onto a table or is unable to lie face down.

Massage: something you do for health not for fun, or an occasional treat, not because you have an issue? Depends who you ask, but it's more, it can be great for mental health. Stress is deadly. Fight back, get booking.

A fabulous evening earlier this week with four of my regular female clients. All from the same family, they meet up for a pamper evening every month, looking forward to de-stressing from their busy lives. All of them wanting to stay put afterwards and just sleep!

But despite this accolade, followers on Facebook are slowly disappearing .
No new clients since January. Previous regular clients not returning.
All this despite heightened advertising on the car.
Signing up to hire lovely rooms in a therapy centre, which I have never yet had a booking for.

People often tell me it's the cost of living crisis in this country which might be holding people back.

Let me know in the comments if there's anything holding you back. Or let me know if you want to experience the same as my group the other night! 💤

Phil Jackson, MGHT

With a base at Magnolia Therapy Centre as well as doing mobile work, I offer a range of bodywork and holistic therapies.

In this crazy, busy world, we all need to unwind for the sake of our greater health. Stress causes so much.

I love working with people who struggle with self image. I love working with people with psoriasis, knowing that the stress relief can be so beneficial. I love working with those struggling to cope with stressful lives or jobs. I love working with people who have undergone grief or trauma. I love to work with fibromyalgia sufferers, offering a particularly gentle massage for this.

Our bodies are an amazing thing, whether they work as they should or not quite. So long as you have no serious conditions which would be dangerous for a massage, I never met a person I wouldn't want to work with.

My therapies include:-

Acupressure
Hot stones body massage
Himalayan salt body massage
Himalayan singing bowl therapy
Swedish body massage
Signature back massage
Thai foot massage
Thai foot massage with added Thai hip work
Kansa Vatki foot massage
Indian head massage
Moroccan Sacred Candle Back Massage
Hand, arm, leg and foot massage
Ear candle therapy
