We made it! The year that challenged us all!

 It's been an incredibly challenging year and as this year draws to a close, it's a wonderful opportunity to reflect upon what we have learnt, what we can take away from this situation, where we need further growth and development, what challenged us, what broke up, what gave us strength, what made us smile and what made us realise we are stronger than we think!

I don't think many people will be sad to see the back of 2020, it was certainly a strange year!

A reminder of our Indi-ssentials product range

 Just a little reminder to you all that we have our Indi-ssentials aromatherapeutic product range available.  

Ranging from our skin softening and nourishing body oils great for this dry weather, to our hair oils and mask designed at providing your hair with what it needs.  

We even have beard oils for the men.

  

If you're not wanting anything for the skin, we have our ever popular candle range, which sold out whilst i was in the UK and our fragrance burner oils.  

We have a new face oil available, designed for mature skin and we have our firm favourites such as the pain balm or body scrubs.  Lots to enjoy and great as a gift for a loved one😊

When it's a big job but not a big job!

 Well, I finally finished my quarantine time, yay!  Time stuck indoors is never easy and I have been itching to get back to my studio.  Having not stepped inside the place for four and a half months, I was desperate to return to my happy place and to get putting it straight once more.  Having had it sit empty for over 4 months, i was a little apprehensive as to what state I would find it in.  I was also keen to get back to my beautiful oils and start whipping up some smells in there and create that relaxing, tranquil space we have all come to know and love.

For a place that has been closed up for that long, it had faired better than i expected....but there has still been a lot of work to do.  I knew this would be the case, hence choosing to spend an extra week closed so that i had time to get down to the studio.

So, I've been busy scrubbing, cleaning, moving, clearing and the studio is nicely taking shape.  There's still a fair bit to go and I'm also wanting to create some fresh new scents for us to work with.  Plus sorting out the Indi-ssentials product range ready for selling once more.  A few of you have already been asking about buying the massage/body oils, candles and pain balms.  

Here is the work in progress!  I will be cleaning in my sleep soon!

To this......

What's been happening in these last few months?....

 Whilst Jaipur Remedial Therapies has been very quiet with me being away, that doesn't mean things have stopped.  Since I was last here in Jaipur, I've continued some education and studying in the UK.  Understanding and delving deeper into human anatomy and scar treatment and am signed up to take a scar tissue release course soon.  This builds on top of my remedial massage training and allows me to work on scars either as part of the massage treatment or as a solo treatment.  There are amazing benefits to having scar tissue worked upon as scar tissue can cause pain, discomfort, pulling on surrounding tissue and inbalance in the muscles.

I'm looking forward to the class, along with some other online learning i am currently studying in relation to human anatomy.  My time in the UK was very busy, providing massage treatments to many of my regular clients there.  You can check out the UK element of the business through my UK massage business here  https://www.facebook.com/DriftAwaymassage.  My UK clients were very happy to have me back for so long!  We were even fortunate on some days to do some massage treatments in the sun😊

It was an opportunity to work on Indi-ssentials skincare and aromatherapy range.  Our pain balms were a best seller and sold out.  Followed by other firm favourites such as the Rose and vetiver face oil and mature skin face oil.  Candles also sold incredibly well and i had to make many more there due to popular demand.  As a reminder, these products are available here in Jaipur and will be available to purchase one again shortly.

Despite the busyness, it was wonderful to spend time with the family and take time out in nature to meditate and follow a more simpler approach and following a more natural way.  I hope to be able to bring back some sound meditation sessions either on a one to one basis, couples or small group basis.  Not forgetting the option for guided meditations too, which are one of my favourite things to do, both writing, creating and recording.  I'll let you know when I have another one to share.  These are some pictures from the stunning Yorkshire countryside.

Do you know?!

Many of you will now know that Jaipur Remedial Therapies is now back open taking a small number of massage bookings. Incase you have been wondering how that works, please check out this link here to our previous blog post of all the protocols that are in place.  New protocols in place .   Whilst it may be a different setting, it's certainly possible.

Many of you enjoyed the first guided meditation and so I'm sending out another one I have created.  This one is specific to the current crisis and works to relieve your worries, concerns and fears and that overwhelming feeling.  It's a real worry and stress buster and brings about a feeling of inner calm.

Set your worries free Beach Guided Meditation

Why not find 30 minutes and give it a go.

Before the virus turned our worlds upside down, many of you were enjoying our sound meditation classes.  At present I'm looking to see if there is a way to bring these online and for the sound quality to come across effectively.  Just before the centre closed we were about to begin offering Guided Meditation Classes once a month.  As it looks like it maybe sometime before this can happen in person, I'm planning to bring this to you online instead.  (There's a class on 6th and 7th June - more details to follow).

It will be a 1 hour meditation session, involving  few different forms of meditation which I'll guide you through, so you can develop your awareness and skills in these areas and the bulk of the session will be taken up with a 40 minute guided meditation session so you can switch off, let go and relax.  I will also provide a link to a pre-recorded copy of that guided meditation so you can listen to it regularly before the next month's session.  A real added value session and at a nominal price of 400rs.

I know that some clients are unable to attend massage sessions at present for a variety of reasons.....but in case any of you are still experiencing some pain and want a little relief, a reminder that I sell muscle and joint pain balm.  This is a recipe I have worked on and perfected over a year and receives great feedback from clients both here and in the UK.  These are sold at a special price for clients only at 400 Rs for a 150ml jar.  These will last for months!  They are a Vaseline like consistency and absorb quickly into the skin and ease aches and pains thanks to the blend of essential oils and turmeric in there.   (These do not stain)

I personally used this balm whilst walking 500kms in three weeks in Spain and never had any pain and I contribute this to the balm.

We also sell a range of natural soy candles scented with essential oils and other products including our best selling face oil.  Candles burn for over 30+ hours and are sold at a special client price of 320 Rs.

You can collect from the studio or delivery (at a cost) can be arranged by one of the delivery guys currently operating.

It's been lovely seeing many of you coming through our studio doors again.  For those currently out of the country, I hope you're all doing well wherever you are and simply riding the waves.  We'll all have some crazy stories to share when we meet again.
