💙 Men’s Mental Health Week - based on the boys in my life 🤣🏍️🚵‍♂️

A nod to the men who keep riding, fixing, tinkering, and pushing through — even when the warning lights have been flashing for a while.

Lately I’ve had more new male clients than female, and honestly, it’s been brilliant to see. Men are finally giving themselves permission to look after their mental and physical wellbeing — not just their bikes.

And speaking of bikes…

Most of the men in my life are bike mad. If it’s got two wheels, an engine, or a trail to conquer, they’re already halfway out the door.
But even the best riders know this:
You can’t ignore a dodgy noise, a stiff suspension, or a worn‑out part forever.

Your body works the same way.

Now, I still haven’t convinced Georgie that reflexology is worth pausing the bike chat for — but Matt?
He’s a convert.
Not because he’s suddenly into crystals and calm music (he absolutely isn’t), but because:

• His knee pain eases
• He sleeps better
• He wakes up feeling less like he’s done a 6‑hour enduro

That’s it. No fluff. No mystical enlightenment. Just practical results that make riding, working, and life in general feel easier.

So this week, to the men out there:

• Looking after yourself is not a luxury
• Rest is not weakness
• Support is not something you have to “earn” by struggling first

Your mental health matters. Your body matters. And you deserve the same care you give your bikes, your families, and everyone else around you.

If you’ve been thinking about trying reflexology — for pain, stress, sleep, or just to feel more balanced — this is your sign.

Loneliness Awareness Week (15–21 June) is a reminder of something I see far too often — not just in my work, but in the lives of friends, family, and people who look like they “shouldn’t” feel lonely at all.

Because the truth is this:

You can be married, have children, be surrounded by colleagues, have a busy social circle… and still feel completely alone.

Relationships don’t automatically mean connection. Being present doesn’t always mean being emotionally present.

So how can we help?

• Check in with the people you love, even when life gets busy
• Make time — arrange that coffee, take that walk, share that slice of cake
• Reach out when you’re struggling
• Send the text you’ve been meaning to send
• Be present — physically and emotionally

Remember: it’s WHO is in your life, not what is in it.

We’ve all had moments where we needed someone.

Try to be the person you once needed.

And if you’re feeling low, isolated, or overwhelmed — please speak up.

Put yourself first.
Ask for help.
You matter.

So many parents have been reaching out lately — and I love that. Our children deserve the same care, calm, and support that we do.

Let’s teach them that self‑care is a necessity, not a luxury.

🌿 Children’s treatments are half price — just £20 to make wellbeing more accessible for every family.”

🌼 National Carers Week 🌼

“Behind every person cared for, is a person who needs care too.”

This week is all about recognising the incredible carers in our communities — the family members, friends, neighbours and support workers who quietly hold everything together. Caring is an act of love, but it can also be exhausting, isolating, and overwhelming. Carers deserve support just as much as the people they care for.

That’s why I want to shine a light on someone who is making a genuine difference here in St Austell and the surrounding areas — Carly, the heart behind Mrs T’s – Tea, Talk & Tasks ☕💬✔️

Carly has a gift for making people feel seen, heard, and supported. After six years in health and social care, she recognised something important: not everyone needs personal care — sometimes they simply need company, conversation, and a reliable helping hand. And that’s exactly what she offers.

Whether it’s:
☕ A friendly companionship visit
💬 A regular check‑in
🛒 Help with shopping
💊 Prescription collection
🏠 Light household tasks
📋 Basic admin support

…Carly brings warmth, trust, and genuine care into every home she visits. She helps people stay independent without feeling alone — and that is priceless.

She’s Level 2 & 3 qualified in Health & Social Care, DBS checked, and truly passionate about supporting others. I’ve watched her pour her heart into this new venture, and I couldn’t be prouder of what she’s building.

If you or someone you love could use a little extra support — or simply a friendly face and a cuppa — Carly is exactly the kind of person you’d want by your side.

This National Carers Week, let’s remember:
Carers need care too — and sometimes the smallest acts of support make the biggest difference.
And people like Carly are helping to make that happen every day.

💛 Carly, you’re doing something truly special. Keep shining.

Hi I’m Mrs T ! Providing friendly companionship, home visits & practical support throughout St Austell & the surrounding areas. Whether it’s a chat over a cuppa, help with shopping or a prescription collection, I’m here to help. Just pop me a message.

The Blue Moon will be visible tonight

Can you tell it’s the end of half term and the kids are back to school tomorrow… because I’ve suddenly turned into a one‑woman bakery today.

Healthy oat and seed cookies? ✔️
Sugar‑free chocolate crispies? ✔️
Apple and banana loaf cake? ✔️
And a not‑so‑healthy jelly for balance? ✔️

Honestly, I’m on such a roll I’m half expecting myself to start meal‑prepping for the week and labelling Tupperware next.

There’s something about that “Sunday before school starts” energy that just kicks you into gear — or maybe it’s survival mode, who knows. Either way, the kitchen smells amazing and I’m sure when the family return from their activities they’ll be pleased, so I’m calling it a win!

The first step really is the hardest.
After a dodgy shoulder, it’s been almost six months since I last rolled out my yoga mat. For months I’ve been telling myself, “I’ll start again at the weekend”… and then finding every excuse under the sun not to.

But this morning — bags under my eyes from a rubbish night’s sleep and all — I finally did it. A gentle 30‑minute class on the Oceanflow Yoga app, choosing a soft foundation flow to ease myself back in. Nothing fancy. Nothing intense. Just movement, breath, and a quiet promise to myself that starting small still counts.

And honestly? I’m chuffed to bits.
Not because it was perfect, but because I showed up. Because I pushed past the resistance. Because I chose myself, even when it would’ve been easier not to.

If you’ve been putting something off — yoga, walking, journaling, anything — let this be your nudge. The first step is the hardest, but it’s also the one that changes everything.

Yoga has been such a gift for my mind, body and spirit. I did the beginners course with Oceanflow a couple of years ago and couldn’t recommend it enough.

Here’s to gentle restarts and tiny victories.
