What an opportunity, such a great space and great people 🙏 please contact Emma Spa Butterfly

✨ EXCLUSIVE ROOM RENTAL OPPORTUNITY – SPA BUTTERFLY, WIGAN ✨

A rare opportunity has become available for the right professional to join our established team at Spa Butterfly, based within Fitness First Wigan.

We’re not simply looking to fill a room , we’re looking for someone who is professional, established, reliable and passionate about their business, and who will complement the services already available within the spa.

Our location benefits from an established client base, a busy environment and excellent footfall, making this a fantastic opportunity for someone looking for a professional base from which to grow their own independent business.

✨ Beautiful private treatment room
✨ Established and busy location
✨ Excellent footfall
✨ Professional working environment
✨ Supportive team of independent businesses
✨ Opportunity to grow your own brand and clientele

We are particularly interested in a specialist or unique service that would add something different to our current offering.

🚫 Massage therapies and aesthetics will NOT be considered, as these areas are already fully covered within the spa.

This opportunity would ideally suit someone who already has experience and is looking for a long-term professional base, rather than simply somewhere to rent a room.

📩 If you feel you could be a great addition to Spa Butterfly, please message me privately with a little about yourself, your business and the services you provide.

Please share — the perfect person may be on your friends list. 🤍

✨️ 💯✨️ I love my job 🙌

Today reminded me that massage isn’t always about sports injuries, tight muscles or deep tissue. 🧡

I had a lovely lady in today who is living with Parkinson’s.

Her days can involve appointments, uncertainty and never quite knowing how she is going to feel from one hour to the next.

So today, we weren’t trying to “fix” anything.

Today was about giving her body permission to just stop.

To relax.
To breathe.
To let go of some of the worry, stress and tension.

For that hour, she didn’t have to think about the next appointment or what tomorrow might bring. She could just enjoy how she felt right there and then. 🧡

At the end of her massage, she told me she hadn’t felt that completely relaxed for such a long time.

And that really stayed with me.

Sometimes the most important thing I can give someone isn’t a deep treatment or a sports massage.

Sometimes it’s simply an hour where they can switch off, feel cared for and walk away feeling a little lighter than when they came in.

And sometimes, that is more than enough. 🧡

Relax. Restore. Reignite.

✨️ Amazing results from Louise our in house Aesthetics Nurse ✨️

Much as I’m not a fan of talking about the festive season in September ( bring back summer 😢🤣) now is the time to be thinking about skin boosters if it’s something you are interested in for the party season … they are my favourite thing to do as they are so natural but really effective on the right people

If you want to chat about whether this would be a good treatment for you .. consulations are free and no pressure to book anything ❤️

💆‍♀️ REASONS TO GET A MASSAGE…

You don’t have to be injured.
You don’t have to be in loads of pain.
And you definitely don’t need a special occasion!

Sometimes your body is simply telling you it needs a bit of attention. 🧡

✨ Tight neck & shoulders
✨️ Recurring headaches
✨ Aching back
✨ Tired, heavy legs
✨ Headaches from tension
✨ Feeling stiff when you first get up
✨ Training hard or exercising regularly
✨ Sitting at a desk all day
✨ Feeling stressed or struggling to switch off
✨ Not sleeping as well as you should
✨ Or simply because you fancy an hour to yourself!

Massage can be relaxing, targeted, deep, gentle — or a mixture of everything depending on what YOUR body needs that day.

And sometimes you don’t realise quite how tight you’ve become until you get off that massage couch and think…

“Wow… I needed that!” 😂🙌

💛 Look after your body — you only get one.

💧 LET’S TALK FASCIA… AND WHY MOVEMENT MATTERS

I talk about fascia quite a lot during treatments — because when you're feeling tight, stiff or restricted, it isn't always just the muscles we need to think about.

Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and connects your muscles and other structures throughout the body. Think of it as a huge interconnected web.
When that tissue is healthy and moving well, the different layers of your tissues can glide and move more freely.
But long periods of sitting, repetitive movements, training, injury or simply not moving enough can all contribute to that familiar feeling of being tight and restricted.

💧 And what about hydration?
Fascia contains a lot of water, so keeping yourself properly hydrated is one part of looking after your connective tissues — but simply drinking gallons of water isn't a magic cure for tight fascia!

Movement is important too.
Walking, stretching, changing position regularly and generally keeping your body moving all help your tissues do what they're designed to do.

🙌 And this is where massage comes in.
Massage can help reduce that feeling of muscular tension and stiffness, encourage movement between the tissues and leave you feeling looser, more comfortable and able to move more freely.

It's one of the reasons I don't just massage where it hurts. I look at how you're moving, where you're restricted and what might be contributing to it.
Sometimes the area shouting the loudest isn't actually where the problem started. 😉

Move. Hydrate. Look after your body. And when it starts feeling like it needs a bit of help… you know where I am. 🧡

Much Love Mandy 🙌

Whether you need those knots worked out, tired muscles loosened up, or you simply fancy switching off and relaxing for a while… I’ve got you. 🙌💆‍♀️

🧡 THE LITTLE THINGS MATTER 🧡

Most of my clients probably had no idea what was hiding underneath the big rug in my massage room… 👀😂

The flooring underneath had definitely seen better days. It was covered, so nobody could see it — but I knew it was there!

And eventually I thought… nope, it's got to go! 😂

So today, up came the old flooring and I got to work laying a lovely new floor. 💪

Why?

Because I genuinely care about the space you come into.

I want my room to feel clean, cosy, warm and welcoming. Fresh towels, comfortable surroundings, soft music and that lovely smell when you walk in — whether it's fresh orange 🍊 or calming lavender 💜.

For me, your massage starts before I even put my hands on you.

It's walking into my treatment room in Spa Butterfly where you can switch off, feel comfortable and know that everything has been thought about.

And now that big rug has finally GONE! 🙌😂

No more hiding the floor — and the whole room feels bigger, brighter and fresher.
It's not just my massage room.

For an hour or so, it's YOUR space. 🧡

I look forward to seeing you all soon 😊

Much Love
Mandy 🙌

💭 YOU DON’T REALISE HOW MUCH YOU NEEDED A MASSAGE… UNTIL YOU’VE HAD ONE! 🙌✨

It’s amazing what we learn to live with…

😣 That tight neck
🤷‍♀️ Those shoulders that always feel stiff
⚡ That niggle in your lower back
🦵 Heavy, tired legs
😩 That constant feeling of tension

After a while, it just becomes your normal.

You adjust. You get on with it. You stop noticing just how tight and uncomfortable your body actually feels.

Then you have a massage… 💆‍♀️💆‍♂️

And suddenly you realise…

✨ “Wow… I didn’t know how tight I was!”
✨ “I can actually turn my head properly!”
✨ “My shoulders feel so much lighter.”
✨ “I didn’t realise how much I needed that!”

I hear versions of these ALL the time! 🧡

Massage doesn’t have to be something you wait for until something hurts enough to bother you.

Sometimes it’s simply about giving your body a little maintenance 🔧, easing the tension you’ve gradually collected and reminding yourself what feeling good in your own body actually feels like. 🙌

So ask yourself…

👀 When did tight, stiff and achy become YOUR normal?

Maybe it’s time to find out how much better you could feel. 🧡✨

🎒 THE KIDS ARE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL! 🎉😂

Be honest… who’s just a little bit excited? 🙋‍♀️🤣

Missed having an hour where nobody needs anything from you?
Missed your massage? 💆‍♀️✨

Well… your “me time” is officially back! 🙌

Whether you need to:
✨ Switch off & completely relax

✨ Have a proper Sports Massage
✨ Or simply enjoy an hour where you don’t have to do ANYTHING!

Get yourself booked in — you’ve earned it! 🧡

September appointments are now open and starting to fill, so don’t leave it until you’re desperate for one.
