Gifts of presence
As a small ‘business’, I’m not offering Black Friday deals as it’s symptomatic of overconsumption, excess, waste and reactivity. The very nature of it can breed a heightened state of stress and anxiety, which is the antithesis of my offerings, which are designed to bring calm, spaciousness and a deeper sense of connection to breath, body and community.
But you can gift these offerings, to yourself or others:
Vouchers
* 1 yoga class* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * £12
* 10 yoga class pass at the Hanover Centre* * * £95
* 1 hour therapeutic Thai massage * * * * * * * £55
* 90 minutes therapeutic Thai massage * * * * * £75
* 2 hour therapeutic Thai massage * * * * * * * £95
* Liminal Space workshop, 16 February * * * * * £95
Pay it forward
If you would like to gift someone in the community to receive an hour’s massage or attend a yoga class, you can contribute here Even a little makes a difference. Whenever the contributions add up to the cost of a class or massage, I will randomly select someone from the list. This is specifically for folk who are struggling financially, and cannot otherwise access holistic healthcare.
You can also nominate someone to go on the nomminations list.

A vibrational new treatment
I am delighted to introduce you to a new vibrational treatment that I’m offering as part of my traditional therapeutic Thai massage practice: Tok Sên (hammer energy lines). Gently tapping a tamarind mallet on differently shaped wooden hammers onto the body releases muscle tension and relieves pain. It also improves circulation, promotes healing and energetic balance as well as being deeply relaxing and meditative.
Tok Sên also stimulates the ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) which releases dopamine, oxytocin and endorphins, as well as improving function in parts of the brain involved in social cognition, self awareness and satisfaction.
