By way of introduction…
Our first Blog is certainly an exciting achievement and we look forward to you getting to know me and Star Therapies.
I want to share with you about how I deliver beauty, skincare and body massage treatment, my style of service and our ethos, but more importantly how I aim for us to both enjoy and savour each treatment and how I honour our time together.
Delivering therapy is my part of your input of self care, so I get to influence your skin, health and well-being and I like to make that the best it can be.
My personal view is that I am of service in this world in this therapeutic way and I have always delivered care through touch, it seems natural to me and Ive been doing that naturally from as young as four years old I was massaging my mum. Im aware your trusting me with your body, skin, medical history and physical systems and I see it as no small thing, especially for the first time we work together.
The emotional aspect of health is running throughout our physicality so the starting point is for comfort and safety to be essential ingredients in how your are treated. I let this guide the way to offering you some peace and support.
Our nervous systems cannot receive very much at all if we do not feel safe or calm. I foster an ethos of providing a nurturing environment, attitude and touch which allows your nervous system to pause, soften, be at peace and this can bring about natural change....possibly change to our sense of coping with the daily demands of life, changes of perspective that help us consider options and expand our choices, time to allow change in our physical selves to unwind a little or reverse the stress and cortisol that influences your hormones, skin and organs.
My interest in our nervous systems originated in my previous time as a student and Occupational Therapist in long term neurological rehabilitation and palliative care. Neurological disease and brain injury requires much tailor made functional adaption and clearly expresses the unique way any of our brains or bodies can present in symptoms, even with the same diagnosis.
The vagus nerve and the psycho-education I offer in the six week coaching package is for helping to understand our nervous system responses, respecting our natural biological features and how to develop exercises to connect and learn about our individual nervous system map. If we can find ways to source strength, restoration and resilience by interrupting a constant cycle of ineffective responses and learn better ways, we may have a fighting chance of maintaining physical and emotional health and achieve a more rewarding existence in our busy and demanding world.
We always try to put together packages and offer treatments that allow you to relax and have an experience of inner peace, not simply a technical application and this I feel, makes all the difference in the service you receive with me.
We now have your consultations and aftercare delivered digitally upon booking for you to complete so it clears the way in advance for treatment time. I like to build a relationship with you but also for you to know that your time is protected and especially focused for your skin care, easing muscles, locating pressure points, ensuring treatment effectiveness and that you feel rejuvenated when the treatment is complete.
Also that you're truly cared for and the time spent in this care is healing in itself and from a genuine intention of bringing healing into your life, no matter if it's the simplicity of aesthetically pleasing beauty treatments or body holistics.
Our booking system is now open and offers loyalty rewards to add money off, promo codes, gift vouchers and passes for courses of treatments with great discounts.
Times are Thursday to Saturday 10am-9pm at the stylish new Studio58, 171 Upper Street N1 !RG. Appointments at other times on a Tuesday afternoon/eve or Wednesday 9-5 are upon request only, so do make contact.
