💚 A little update on my broken thumb!

A huge thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding while I’ve been healing. It’s been very much appreciated.

I’m happy to say the bone has healed! 🎉 I’m towards the end of the healing process now, although my nail has decided it’s not sticking around! 😂

I’ll continue wearing a glove on one hand for hygiene and keeping the thumb bandaged as it’s still a bit sensitive.

The good news is that I’ll be fully operational for Swedish massage from the beginning of November! 🌿

Thank you all for your patience and well wishes!! Lots of love, Mary xx

I won’t be at Bathgate Botanicals this weekend as I’m heading off to Colonsay for a wee change of scenery and to enjoy the colonsay food festival — maybe a dip in the cold Atlantic Ocean - maybe just stare out at it 🌊🌿

I’ll be back in the treatment room on Friday 17th October 💚

See you soon!

Rosehip Oil – nature’s nourishing beauty oil 🌿

Rich in naturally occurring fatty acids, including linoleic and oleic acids, Rosehip Oil is a wonderful addition to a simple skincare routine. Applied topically, it helps to condition and soften the skin, leaving it feeling smooth, supple and nourished. Its naturally occurring compounds have also been the subject of scientific research into their cosmetic properties.

At Bathgate Botanicals, our Organic Rosehip oil is a beautiful choice for anyone looking to add a naturally derived botanical oil to their daily skincare ritual.

Hope everyone catches a glimpse of the spectacular moon tonight. 🌕✨

I can’t believe it’s a whole year since my last post about the Harvest Moon. Where has that year gone? 🍂

A lovely, thoughtful gift from a lovely client over the weekend! ❤️

It was great to be back Bathgate Botanicals and it did me the world of good. I’ve now discarded the splint, and my thumb is well on its way to being fully functional again.

For the time being, however, I won’t be offering Swedish massage or Neck, Back and Shoulders treatments until my thumb has regained some strength. I’m fully able to carry out reflexology treatments, though!

Just in case anyone thought I’d lost the tip of my thumb — I only fractured the tip, and it’s still attached! I think I may have worded an earlier message incorrectly! 🙈

Mary 👍🥳

Thumb update! 👍🏻🩷

I’m back in the treatment room this weekend! 🎉

Looking forward to getting back and seeing the ladies at Bathgate Botanicals and creating a peaceful ambiance in the room for treatments this weekend ❤️

I’m easing myself back in with just 3 Reflexology treatments to start with and will gradually build back up to full days. I’ll see how the thumb feels after this weekend and take it from there.

I’ll be wearing the latest in high fashion surgical gloves 🧤on my left hand for hygiene purposes. It won’t make any difference to your treatment at all — it’s purely there to keep things hygienic while my thumb continues to heal.

See you all tomorrow!
Mary 👍

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has been so understanding and flexible while I’ve had to move appointments because of my broken thumb! ❤️

I’m nearly 3 weeks into healing now and I’m really looking forward to taking my splint off!

It will be approximately 5 weeks on 5th September, so all being well, I’ll be back at work then. 🙌

I’ll be keeping my appointments to a minimum initially while I build my strength back up — I’ve got quite a bit of catching up to do!

Thank you again for all your patience, kind messages and understanding. 💕
I’m really looking forward to seeing you all very soon! 🌿✨

Mary ❤️👎👍
