Jo Crocombe Holistic Massage. MGHT

Hello! Been a while since I last posted! The last 3 weeks, I have ensured that I have some much needed time out! From hair apt to swapping treatments and so I actually get a massage and some reflexology to beach trips with just me on my days off from the fern centre have been so valuable! Normally we can fill our days with the most mundane things but as a therapist and as someone who not only cares for family, friends, animals and my dear clients, I have to care for myself!
It’s such an important message and as we near summer hols, I will still be seeing clients whether it’s at the fern centre or at home (early morning or evening) so maybe book yourself some time out! 07881381054 or message me

Sometimes the only excuse you need for a massage or any treatment is To Relax and Take it easy!
Why do we always feel like we need to be on the go? And if we stop and do nothing then we feel bad?! Something that I hear often!
Once we let go of the guilt and allow ourselves to destress and nurture ourselves, our bodies thank us for it!
Stress sometimes can be useful to get through situations BUT constant stress and strain causes illness.
If this feels like you then perhaps it’s time to book your appointment.

Along time has passed since I last post! Hope all is well with everyone!
We all need time to rest don’t we?! As often many go on that same old treadmill, running the same day over and over again, not really stopping until one day you realise you are extremely exhausted and not able to function and it’s only then you realise that it’s too late! You have burnt out!
Often we ignore the telltale signs with waking up tired, exhausted even, like you haven’t slept! Weary body and emotionally and physically like your body isn’t even attached to your own.
Did you know that complementary therapies can really help, like a reset button! Relax, Rebalance and Restore.
Perhaps it’s time you booked your appointment today!

Recently my family and I went to Cornwall for a long weekend break, we had been very busy with not only work, school, winter feeding and normal chores that I felt we needed to put the brakes on and stop. The best thing is Cornwall is only a stones throw away and with that we went and had a lovely time although….we did quite abit, it was a change of scenery. It’s abit like massage, reflexology etc, for many it’s a time to stop, take a break and have some time to themselves, we all need it but often do not recognise till last min dot com! Maybe it’s time you booked your regular slot to have some time where you can stop, relax and rebalance!

In order to help others, we have to take care of ourselves first.😊
All so often we look after and prioritise those around us, so busy are we chasing our tails with sorting washing out, dishes etc that it’s not until we are burnt out that we realise we need to think about our needs.
Even if you can only sacrifice a 10 minutes going for a walk or having coffee with a friend for half an hour….it all makes a difference to our wellbeing. Cortisol (our stress hormone) is lowered. This happens in massage. Serotonin (our happy hormone) is released and it leaves you feeling relaxed, more at peace and able to cope with the challenges life throws at you.

“You sometimes have to look back to see how far you’ve come”
Bear with for this story as it does have a point!!This morning I decided to go for a nice walk as my plans had changed. I’ve always thought of doing some different sections of coastline and today was the day. I set off with good pace from Mortehoe towards Lee, it was beautiful and quickly came to Lee and so on I went and then I thought about what someone told me (as quoted above) and I looked back and the picture was what I saw …beautiful, stunning Infact.
Life is very much like this. People come across obstacles, hurdles which take some getting over but when you look back, you see how far you’ve come. So next time you feel like your not moving forward, look back…you may just be surprised!
I do see clients on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday evenings and Wednesday and Thursday daytimes. Message to book or WhatsApp or text 07881381054 to have some “me time”

Happy new year to you all! I hope you had a very merry Christmas and all is well! The last couple of weeks, we have got back to routines! Some may welcome whilst others would boo!
With 2026 upon us, have you made any plans or made any resolutions? Maybe to look after yourself? Tick of some bucket list items? We can often let days, weeks and months go by without a glance, maybe this is the year to look after your wellbeing! Monthly massage, reflexology, hotstones, aromatherapy! Booking a regular timeout for yourself can be the start of a better, healthier you!
