Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 08:57AM As a self employed massage therapist it’s inevitable that some weeks will be extraordinarily busy and others...well...not! After five years of enduring this roller coaster ride of peaks and troughs you’d think I’d be used to the quiet days (or weeks!) safe in the knowledge that another busy period was just round the corner.
Monday, February 6, 2012 at 01:16PM A lot of my marketing targets those of you who regularly exercise, whether you’re a gym user, marathon runner or circuits enthusiast, but here I really want to emphasise how massage can help those of you who work long hours sitting behind a desk and have at least an hours’ commute to and from work each day.
Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 05:27AM In recent years there has been a massive shift taking fitness training out of the gym and into the great outdoors. No matter where you live there seems to be bootcamps, running clubs, boxing, circuits (the list goes on) all accessible in your local park run by the ever enthusiastic personal trainer. As effective, and motivating as this type of training may be, I’m here to defend the treadmill (and the gym experience as a whole) as I believe, as much as it’s not an environment liked by everyone, it’s still a great space to workout in. It all depends on what you want (and need) from your workout.
Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 11:07AM When faced with a problem it is often said that when you clear your head and stop thinking about it the solution often presents itself. But what if you don’t realise there’s a problem in the first place? Come January it’ll be my five year anniversary of being a self employed massage therapist in SW London. It’s been ridiculously hard work and, as a client pointed out to me a while ago, I don’t seem to have a first, second or third gear when it comes to business. I’m either operating on fifth or sixth gear (which then results in a burnout) or not at all. Goal after business goal is set, making the pressure of ‘success’ a permanent fixture of my life.
Friday, September 23, 2011 at 09:39AM I find it interesting that it doesn’t seem to matter whether we have children or not, or whether we left school five years ago or twenty-five years ago we still seem to adopt ‘term times’ into our lives throughout the year.
