I’m finding Instagram (and Facebook!) more of a distraction than an aid, so I’ll see you “IRL” as the youngsters say! Find me at KnotStressed Therapies in Abbeyhill - link below. Much love 💆🏻‍♀️💙

Sharing a little news on this gusty day…

📣 I’ve made the decision to move on from Portobello Natural Health and land fully at KnotStressed. PNH has been a really important place for me on my journey as a massage therapist and I’m so grateful to my clients there and to the other therapists.

But now Knotstressed feels like the right place so that’s where you’ll find me, and a very lovely place it is too.

To book with me you just need to go through the knotstressed website (link below) and select either deep tissue or holistic/swedish massage (p.s. I’ll soon be adding pregnancy and hot stones massage to my toolkit) and then you should find me in the list of options.

I’m often asked at the end of a session what trigger points are, so here’s my first attempt at a little info post to share what I’ve been studying today…

Knotstressed is somewhere I’ve really admired since I qualified. I love their vibe and I’ve known that I’d feel really at home there. I’m therefore over the moon to share that I will be joining them as one of their massage therapists as of this month 🤸🏻‍♂️😃

If you haven’t been before, it’s a gorgeous clinic half way up Abbeyhill, and they have a lovely range of therapies on offer from various forms of massage to yoga and pregnancy support. They’re well known for the pregnancy support they offer and I’m particularly excited to train up in pregnancy massage.

I haven’t got a set day with them yet but here’s my availability this month and next:
Saturday 21st December
Saturday 4th January
Saturday 18th January
Sunday 26th January

Bookings are through their booking system:

I’ll still be at Porty Natural Health two Fridays a month.
In Jan that’ll be Friday 3rd and 24th, bookings open on my calendly page:

Since I don’t have another Instagram account I’m using this one to share about my other work which is at the wonderful - a worker run wholefoods shop in marchmont.

In the last few days we have launched a big crowdfunding campaign to help us fund our vision of a shop refit and online shop/cargo bike delivery service around Edinburgh.

We have made it through the multiple crises of the last few years although it hasn’t been easy at all. Now we’re looking to the future and visioning a shop and workspace that is more sustainable for all, as well as expanding into cargo bike deliveries to serve those in Edinburgh who aren’t able to come to the shop. We want to grow into a thriving future.

New leaf embodies an alternative reality that gives me hope in this increasingly crazy world. It is a reality based on co-operation, community and good ethics right the way through, from soil to workers (including ourselves).

Have a look at the beautiful video made by my colleague Jules at the top of the crowdfunder page, and read on for more info of our vision as well as an insight into how we run the shop as a workers co-operative and the history of the co-op.

We will be so grateful for any support you can give, whether in money and/or by sharing with those you know who might be interested.

Thanks for reading, sending new leafy love as the leaves on the ground become crisp with frost ❄️🍂
