Liz Seal Holistic Massage
June is here, I think… The past 12 weeks have changed my daily life beyond all recognition, and that of many others too. The stress and anxiety resulting from the Covid Lockdown has turned our world upside down. Working from home, or in restrictive PPE, and more time with tech have taken some getting used to. Zooming, phone calls and social media have replaced the contact we are used to having face to face. I have compensated and adapted, by, among other things, spending lots more time at my sewing machine rather than in my treatment room.
The treatment room became my least favourite room for a while. I think I was sulking- because I couldn’t see my lovely clients, I fell out of love with the space! Which is a bit silly… but maybe a little bit understandable?
Then…
Last Saturday I joined with lots of friends at a Zoom Saturday Club, run by friend and fellow-therapist Louise for Penny Price Aromatherapy. We looked at the topic of stress and anxiety, especially in Lockdown. It was a good session… but it did make me think… why have I not been offering a calming and uplifting essential oil blend to diffuse and to inhale? So, I got my books out and set to blending this morning. The resultant blend is sweet, fresh, comforting and uplifting. Its been ‘smell tested’ by our lovely neighbours and both husband and wife like it- in fact, they have had an aroma-stick drenched in this new blend to carry around and inhale as needed already.
A Facebook post is getting lovely feedback with possible names, so I should have small quantities available soon. (Diffuser blend £10 for 10ml, or a carry around aroma-stick £4.50).
The other service I really should have been shouting about is the bespoke blend availability. The back gate offers a perfect place to chat at a sensible distance (so long as the thunder holds off!) and I can blend body lotion, hand cream or bath salts to your requirements. I know its not the same as coming in and enjoying a treatment, but until hands on contact is allowed again, it’s the next best thing. As an example, 30ml of handcream, body lotion or bath salts would probably cost around £5, depending on the oils we choose for you.
Get in touch if you would like to book a chat and blending session.
