Finding the right place for a massage involves all of your senses. If the stimuli around you prevents you from entering into the parasympathetic dreamy state where healing happens, find the place that is right for you.
Peace
Calm
Care are the first steps so the body can surrender to healing.

Can I ask for some feedback?
I love to craft and offer some of it for sale in my massage clinic. At present people can purchase when they come for a massage or message me to arrange a time to view. I can' have people coming and going when I have massage clients, it destroys the get-a-way vibe.
Do you think it is worth opening a couple of hours each week for shopping only. if I do what days and times are best? Or shall I do it only closer to Christmas?
Please give me honest feedback You can PM if you want to be brutally honest.

🌿 Every massage at Nikau Cottage Massage concludes with a soothing facial and neck massage. 💆‍♀️✨

You might wonder, “Is facial massage really necessary?” The answer is yes. Your back, neck, jaw and face are closely connected through shared muscular and neurological pathways, so tension in one area can influence another.

Think about jaw clenching:
When you clench your jaw, your neck muscles can also become more active as they work to help stabilise your head.

Over time, this extra muscle activity may contribute to:

🌿 Deep muscle fatigue
🌿 Knots and tightness
🌿 Stiffness through the upper neck and shoulders
🌿 Tension around the jaw, face and temples

That’s why I believe finishing your massage with the face and neck is more than just a relaxing extra — it’s an important part of creating a complete, connected treatment.

Take a breath. Unclench your jaw. Let your shoulders soften. 💚

Your whole body is connected.

I have set myself an almost impossible challenge of creating a pottery 3D Nikau to go on a post outside my clinic.
I have had more disasters than I can count. This is the furtherest I have got so far. Braced for imminent disaster...

This is one of my favourite things in the new clinic, the recovery chair.
This is the place where you can slowly wake up and come back to the real world.
Being deep in a parasympathetic state during a massage allows true healing , however it takes time to surface and it shouldn't be rushed.
Thank you to the kind model Huxley created by
