Maskey Massage

Self care is healthcare ❤️⁣
⁣
It is something we all encourage others to do, but how often do we genuinely give ourselves permission to do it too?⁣
⁣
We talk about slowing down, listening to our bodies, resting when needed and taking time to recharge ⁣
⁣
So, I’m taking my own advice⁣
⁣
The clinic’s last day before the break will be 29/05, and I will be returning on 16/07 while I take some time to rest, recharge and reset
⁣
It is a reminder that taking time off is not selfish. Rest is not lazy. Looking after yourself matters too 😁⁣
⁣
Thank you to all my wonderful clients and community for your ongoing support. I look forward to returning refreshed and ready to continue doing what I love⁣
⁣
See you all in July ✨

There’s no one size fits all approach in this clinic⁣
⁣
This table setup includes a BreastEez support pillow, designed to help make prone (face down) treatment more comfortable for those who may otherwise avoid it⁣
⁣
It can provide extra support and reduce pressure for clients who are larger chested, have breast tenderness, are pregnant in early stages, or have had chest surgery or reconstruction⁣
⁣
Comfort matters. Feeling supported matters. And treatment should be adapted to you, not the other way around⁣
⁣
Because remedial treatment isn’t just about addressing the body… it’s also about creating a space where you can fully relax and feel cared for 🤍⁣
⁣

To the mums, step mums, grandmothers, carers, mentors, chosen family, and the women who show up with strength, kindness and care every single day, today is for you⁣
⁣
Mother’s Day can mean many different things to different people, so today we also celebrate the important women in our lives who nurture, support, guide and hold space for us in ways big and small⁣
⁣
Whether you’re spending today surrounded by family, working, resting, remembering, grieving, or simply getting through the day, here’s to finding a moment of comfort, connection and care⁣
⁣
Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible women who help make life a little softer⁣

That cool change has definitely arrived⁣
⁣
A little reminder, while your treatment may be remedial and clinically focused, the space doesn’t have to feel that way⁣
⁣
Think… ⁣
✨ Heated table ⁣
✨ Warm blankets ⁣
✨ Heated oils ⁣
✨ Hot towels ⁣
⁣
Because effective treatment and a calm, relaxing atmosphere can absolutely go hand in hand⁣

Today we pause to remember⁣
⁣
On this ANZAC Day, we honour the courage, sacrifice, and mateship of all who have serve and those who continue to serve. Their legacy lives on in the stories we share, the communities we build, and the way we look out for one another⁣

⁣
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; ⁣
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn⁣
At the going down of the sun and in the morning ⁣
We will remember them⁣
⁣
Lest we forget

Good morning folks!⁣
⁣
As we head into the Easter long weekend, I hope you find a moment like this, quiet, still, and just for you⁣
⁣
This time of year can be a mix of things… rest, family, travel, or sometimes underlying stress we haven’t quite noticed yet. If your body feels a little tighter, your breath a little shallower, or your mind a little busier, there’s often a connection there worth listening to.⁣
⁣
Take a moment today to check in:⁣
⁣
✨ How does your body feel?⁣
✨ Where are you holding tension?⁣
✨ What might you need more (or less) of right now?⁣
⁣
Wishing everyone a safe and gentle Easter long weekend. Be kind to your body, it’s always communicating with you

Your Friday reminder…
⁣
When life feels a little uncertain, come back to the basics⁣
⁣
Move your body⁣
Take a few deep breaths⁣
Drink some water⁣
Get some rest⁣
⁣
Looking after yourself isn’t selfish, it’s essential
⁣
Wishing everyone a calm and restorative weekend⁣

“No pain, no gain” is great for movies. Not great for nervous systems⁣
⁣
Here’s the clinical truth:⁣
⁣
Pain during treatment doesn’t mean something productive is happening⁣
It often means your nervous system feels threatened⁣
⁣
And when the nervous system feels threatened, it does the exact opposite of what we want⁣
⁣
It guards⁣
It tightens⁣
It protects ⁣
It remembers⁣
⁣
Real therapeutic change happens when the nervous system feels safe enough to let go of protection⁣
⁣
That’s where the sweet spot is — enough input to create change, but not so much that the body fights back⁣
⁣
This is why effective treatment isn’t about using more force. It’s about using the right force, in the right place, at the right time⁣
⁣
Because you can’t bully the nervous system into healing. You have to work with it⁣
⁣
No pain⁣
Better gain⁣

Roses are red,⁣
Violets are blue,⁣
Your shoulders are plotting⁣
A full coup on you.⁣
⁣
Cancel the chocolates,⁣
Your hamstrings have said—⁣
“What we really want⁣
Is a massage instead.”⁣
⁣
This Valentine’s Day I’m sending a big thank you to all my clients who trust me with your aches, pains, niggles and those mysterious “I just woke up like this” or “And I thought I’d be able to balance on the bucket on top of the table” injuries⁣
⁣
I’m lucky to spend my days doing work I genuinely love with folks who make the day endlessly interesting ⁣
⁣
Here’s your reminder to unclench your jaw, lower your shoulders, and be kind to your body. It’s doing its best!
