💖 Why We All Need a Little Cheerleading 💖 It might not be very British to shout about our achievements but let’s be honest, it feels so good when someone notices the effort we’ve put in, right? 🙌 Whether it’s a “well done”, a “you smashed it”, or even “you look amazing today” those tiny boosts of recognition light us up inside. ✨ From the moment we got clapped for walking or doing a potty poo (yep, really!), our brains have been wired to respond to praise. It’s not about ego, it’s about being human. 💫 That’s why I love championing my friends, colleagues, and industry peers. 💫 You’ll often see me leaving positive comments, sending encouraging messages, or giving a little shout out. 💫 Not because I want it back (though I'm human too, it’s nice!) but because I see you. I recognise your graft, your passion, and your heart. I'm proud of my tribe and want them to know that 💪 I’m not here to be the main act, I’m more than happy cheering from the sidelines with my sparkly pom poms ✨🎀✨ If it lifts you up, makes you smile, or gives you that little boost then my job’s done 🥰 And all I ask in return? ⭐Pay it forward. Spot someone doing their best and give them a cheer 🎉 Let’s shake those metaphorical pom poms and spread a little sparkle and joy today 💕 #LiftEachOtherUp #CommunityOverCompetition #empoweringwomen

💫 Empowered Touch isn't just another massage course. It’s a powerful blend of mindset techniques, energy alignment, and advanced massage techniques that will transform the way you work — and the results your clients feel. 💫This course is designed to help therapists understand the types of pain they can work with, recognise when to refer clients elsewhere, and integrate powerful techniques to enhance their treatments. 💫Through my many years experience as a Complementary therapist, sports therapist, educator, hypnotherapist and mindset coach, I’ve developed a unique pain management approach. 💫This method treats the client as a whole, addressing not just physical symptoms but also mindset and emotional well-being. In this course, I’ll teach you how to integrate simple but powerful mindset and meditation techniques alongside specialised hypno-touch massage methods. These techniques are easy to apply and can even be taught to clients for self-care. 💫Giving you clients a little bit more empathy and understanding goes a long way. Being able to give them some useful mindset techniques to help deal with underlying stress and trauma that exacerbates their pain will completely power up the physical treatments such as massage and reflexology you deliver to your clients. 💫We will be using words that heal that speak to that part of the mind that has control over pain and breaking down some of the mental barriers keeping the cycle of pain going. Course delivery is blended learning to include a 2 hour zoom session, 4 hours in person practical plus follow up case studies 💥summer 25 offer £395 Check out our website for more details or send us a message 👇 #massage #massagecourse #MindsetMatters #hypnotherapy #healing #energy
More Friday musings It’s not even funny... where the hell did my week go?! Last weekend vanished in a flash — one moment I’m doing a 5.5-mile dog walk and enjoying a roast at our local, and the next… BAM! Straight into a whirlwind week. 🌀 Work. 🏊♀️ Swimming with Amy and the kids. 👴 Grandad Day (translation: chasing toddlers while juggling admin — fun but full-on!). 👩💻 Back-to-back meetings, shifting plans, and making tough business decisions. There’s been a fair bit of serious adulting going on — stepping back from things (and people) that don’t serve me, and choosing my priorities with intention. Why? Because protecting my mental health matters. It makes me a better coach, mentor, and all-round human. And let’s face it — you can’t pour from an empty cup. ☕ I’ve taken a few rest breaks. 🧖♀️ I’ve scheduled in some self-care. 🌧 The rain may be endless (I’m definitely a sunshine girl!) but at least I’m not being distracted by the garden. This week reminded me of something powerful: 💫 Surrounding yourself with the right people is everything. I’m so lucky to have an incredible circle of women in business around me — no drama, no divas, just straight-talking, kind-hearted women who lift each other up. You know who you are my voice not buddies 🥰 I LOVE cheering others on. But I’m also being more intentional about who gets my energy — because support should always be a two-way street. People talk about “work-life balance” — but when you truly love what you do, work becomes a part of life that energises you. I see so many people lose confidence when they stop. They pause… and then never press play again. Balance isn’t about being perfect — it’s about knowing which balls to juggle and which to drop. ✨ Maybe it’s time to drop a few yourself? Create space. Breathe. Refill your cup. If this resonates, let me know below. And if you're ready to step into a better rhythm — in life or in business — my inbox is always open 💛 Debbie xo #MindsetMatters #WomenInBusiness #WorkLifeBalance #Mindsetcoach #RealTalk
No one warned you that being a grown up would feel like this. As a little girl, adulthood looked like freedom. Independence. No more rules. You couldn't wait to choose your own bedtime, wear what you wanted, eat what you fancied, and live life on your terms. But oh, how wrong we were 🤦 For the full blog click 👇 https://www.justfabulous.uk/whats-for-dinner-and-wheres-my-football-shirt/
Having therapy for your mental health is as important and just as acceptable now as looking after your physical health, going to gym, getting your nails done or treating yourself to other forms of self care like a massage. So if you are a Woman Who Has It All. The Career, Family, and run a home you may need a little extra help. To other people everything may look shiny and polished on the outside… but inside, it’s a different story. You're lying awake at night, the weight of the world pressing on your shoulders. Exhausted before the day even begins, yet still showing up—being everything to everyone, trying to juggle all the balls because this is the life you chose right? If this sounds like you, you may be suffering from emotional overload. The overwhelm and anxiety that keep you up at night? That’s your mind trying to process everything you’ve had to hold in during the day. This is very common for many women trying to juggle it all in our modern "have it all" society. You are not broken—and you are not alone. You're having a natural response to trying to do it all. The solution isn’t pushing harder. It’s rest. It’s clarity. It’s learning to shut down your systems at night, so you can finally sleep and feel like you again. The best version of you is the fully rested one, so sleep and rest needs to be your priority not lying awake at 3am feeling the panic rising. I work in a unique way that goes beyond surface-level fixes. Through powerful talking therapy and non-trance hypnotherapy, I help you truly listen to yourself—and regain control. ✨ Ditch anxious thoughts ✨ Prioritise what truly matters ✨ Set boundaries ✨ Sleep deeply and wake up feeling human again If this resonates, let’s talk. 📩 Message me today to explore how we can work together.

✨Happy Friday✨ Have you got that Friday feeling? Had a great week and now looking forward to the weekend? I want you to be honest with yourself… how are you really doing? Did you: ✅Prioritise your sleep? ✅Move your body? ✅Eat to nourish, not just survive? ✅Do something that made you feel proud? Or… ❌Did life take over again this week? Another week of feeling tired, anxious, putting everyone else first… and barely making it through? Let me tell you — it’s not another diet or exercise plan you need. It’s a mindset shift. A reframe to help you ditch the overwhelm, see clearly, and finally feel free to live with energy and joy. My clients often say: “I wish I found you sooner.” Because the transformation they experience — from constant anxiety and low self-worth to calm, confidence, and clarity — is life-changing. If a part of you is scared of change, that’s okay. It just needs to know: There is a better way. And now is your time to thrive. If you are finding yourself just surviving week to week and can't see a way through, let chat 😊 Debbie xo #mindsetcoach #anxietyrelief #overwhelm #mentalhealthawareness #confidence
✨ Protect Your Energy – It’s Not Yours to Carry ✨ Two people. Same place. Same toxic colleague or draining family member. Totally different reactions. One crumbles, feels attacked, carries the weight. The other? Glides through like Teflon—aware, but untouched. Why? Boundaries. You’re going to come across people who are hurt, negative, or just not happy for others. That’s life. But you get to choose whether or not to take on their stuff. 💨 Think of it like standing in the centre of a whirlwind. Chaos might be flying all around you—but you don’t have to reach out and grab it. Let it fly by. It’s not yours. Here’s how to stay grounded and protect your energy field: 1️⃣ Emotional Boundaries Remind yourself: “This is their emotion, not mine.” Affirm: “I do not own other people’s feelings.” 2️⃣ Visual Protection Imagine a bubble of light around you—gold, white, violet. Let love in, keep the junk out. 3️⃣ Limit Exposure Spend less time with energy-drainers when you can. Prep before and decompress after if you must be around them. 4️⃣ Empathy with Detachment You can care without carrying. Say: “I hold space, but I don’t absorb.” 5️⃣ Ground Yourself Daily Nature, deep breaths, or my fave—80s disco in the kitchen. Let that energy MOVE! 💃 6️⃣ Take Care of Your Body Sleep, move, nourish. Physical health supports emotional strength. 7️⃣ Intentional Living Start the day: “I stay in my own energy.” End the day: reset, release, return to you. And no, it’s not just woo. Science agrees—your body emits energy. Einstein said it best: E = MC². Energy is real. You’re real. Protect both. ⚡️ If you need a little help with this let's chat 😊 Debbie xo #mindsetcoach #Empath #Boundaries #EmotionalWellbeing #HealthyBoundaries #MentalHealthAwareness
Hi all 👋 Just a reminder that you have options!

✨ Who Are You Really Doing This For? ✨ Are you living the life you truly want — or the one others expect of you? So many of us find ourselves doing what we think we should be doing… ✔️ Because it’s what’s always been done ✔️ Because we don’t want to disappoint others ✔️ Because we’re not even sure what we really want anymore On the surface it may look like you are doing okay but when there’s a disconnect between your conscious goals and your subconscious "inner self " it creates internal conflict — and that will quietly drain your energy and potential. So instead of just asking, 👉 “Is this the life I want to live?” Try asking, 💡 “Who am I — and who am I doing this for?” If you’re crystal clear on the answers, that’s powerful. But if it feels a little foggy and you’re ready to get clarity, set real goals, and take aligned action in life and business… Then let’s chat. I’m here to help you figure it out — with purpose and confidence. 📩 DM me or drop a comment below and let’s have a virtual cuppa and chat 😊☕ Debbie xo #confidencecoach #mindsetcoach #clarity #healing #lifechanging

Monday Mindset ✨ There are no limits to what you can achieve — unless you place them there yourself. Trying to be everything to everyone, setting no clear boundaries, and constantly putting yourself last will limit your energy, your self-esteem, and your opportunities. You are already good enough. You don’t need external validation to prove your worth. This week, I want to inspire you to challenge the limits you’ve placed on yourself. ✅ Say no to something to create space for rest. ✅ Say yes to something that nudges you out of your comfort zone. ✅ Choose joy in the everyday moments — it’s always available to you. You get to decide what your week looks like. If you feel ready to ditch some of those limiting beliefs but need a little help, reach out! I’d love to have a chat over a cuppa — even if it’s a virtual one. ☕💬 Let's make this week one to be proud of! #mondaymotivation #mindset #confidencecoach #empoweringwomen
✨Who's got that Friday Feeling? I have and I feel change is on the way so I've decided to do a little re introduction for our new followers 😊 I'm Debbie, I usually describe myself first and foremost, as a wife, proud mum, and grandmum. Nurturing comes naturally to me—whether that’s in my personal life or in my professional world. I’ve spent decades in the Beauty and Complementary therapy industry, teaching, guiding, and supporting others. But now, I’m stepping up in a different way. I’ll be honest—I'm not the best with social media or tech in general (thank goodness for Sat Navs and helpful apps!). But I’ve realised that staying quiet here means silencing a message that really needs to be heard. 👉 You are good enough. Not "when you lose weight." Not "when you finally get that promotion." Not "when you sort your life out." Right now. Just as you are. I’ve been where you might be. I never felt good enough growing up. And even when we logically know those old stories aren’t true anymore, they still echo in our minds and hold us back. It may not feel this way but we are all born confident. But then life, our care givers, and our environment when we are young, creates our internal map of reality. Things happen and our natural confidence gets some knocks and dents. That’s why I now specialise in helping others rebuild their confidence, reframe their mindset, and take back control. As a confidence coach, mindset mentor, and Control System hypnotherapist, I help people tap into the power of their subconscious mind—without woo-woo, without trance—just real, rapid results. I want to help more people to tap into their sub conscious mind to make the changes needed, to ditch those negative patterns of thought that hold you back. 🌱 I’m here to help others grow, but this time I need your help. If my message resonates with you, help me spread it. Share this post. Tag someone who needs to hear that they ARE enough. Let’s start shifting the conversation, together. So let me ask you—what would it take to get your self-belief back? 💬 I’d love to hear from you in the comments or messages. With love, Debbie 🩵 #confidencecoach #mindset #MentalHealthMatters
Tuesday massage days are becoming a bit of a thing around here 🤩 This week we were on our home turf in our new clinic. We spent the day with two amazing therapists wanting to upskill their massage techniques. The morning focused mainly on pregnancy massage, but we also looked at adapting our positions for clients who may have difficulty ( for many medical reasons) lying flat on a massage couch. The afternoon session was all about advanced techniques, while also working on the therapists posture and positioning. As always we added in some mindset and relaxation techniques to help our clients gain so much more from their hands on therapy. Want to upskill? Need a refresher or to learn a new therapy? Get in touch and let's have a chat 😊
