The word 'stress' can even bring about stress, just hearing it can make the hairs on the back of the neck stand on end for some people. It does get a bad rap. However, SOME stress is good for us. It's what I call motivational stress. I have a wee sliding scale on my consultation form where clients can score from 1 to 10 how much stress they feel.

Massage Myth Busters!
Contraindication is a long word with a simple meaning: a reason you shouldn’t receive a particular treatment, such as a massage. There are local contraindications—things like a small wound—that shouldn’t be massaged directly, but that don’t mean you can’t still get a perfectly good massage on other parts of your body. Then there are general contraindications, or situations in which you shouldn’t get a massage at all.

Surviving Christmas/The Holidays/Winter

Just one thing!
Me having an argument with my sleep pattern...
I've been giving this a lot of thought over the last few months. My sleep pattern. It's better than it was, but still not great. I've totally nailed going to bed earlier and not watching TV so late, but sometimes my sleep is so broken, I still feel shattered when my alarm goes off, so guess what? I hit the snooze button.
