Holistyx 'Housewarming' for move to White Cross

To celebrate the new home for Holistyx, I had a 'Housewarming party' on Saturday with clients and wellwishers, with some drinks and nibbles. It was a lovely gathering. 😁🥳🤩💫

I got some cards, some contributions to the buffet, and some lovely gifts: some purple candles, an elephant candle holder and gold shopping bag, some crystals (one green, one blue, in beautiful boxes), a box of chocolates, some flowers from someone's garden, and a large bunch of gladioli. Here are some photo's.

Moving On and Moving In: Goodbye East Road, Hello White Cross!

8 Years at East Road, and Getting Ready to Go...

Today is the 8 year anniversary of Holistyx moving in to my therapy room on East Road with Rvd Phil Hudd and his family.

I have always said I felt so blessed to find such a wonderful place to work from - I couldn't have asked for better. But all good things must come to an end.

Phil is shortly moving on to different work, and out of the house. So Holistyx has needed to find a new home.

This week I got the keys to 604 Alston House, White Cross Business Park, Lancaster. Its a large room, with a sink, and big enough for me to divide up with curtains and have a waiting area, a consultation and treatment area, and a back storage and working area for myself.

Its very close to where I am now, right next to the canal between Quarry Road (think White Cross Pub) and South Road (opposite the Hospital).


My last day here with clients is in less than 2 weeks, on Tuesday 2nd July. I will be moving and getting all set up in the new place from Weds 3rd to Monday 8th and then first clients at my new premises are booked from Tuesday 9th July.

I am going through so many feelings, from sadness about so many things I have loved and will miss about this place, to excitement about a new, bigger place and new possibilities there.

Goodbye to Concept Hair and Beauty

After over 2 years based at Concept Hair and Beauty on a Monday, its time to move on.

I am now exclusively based at my lovely 'Holistyx Therapy room' near Lancaster town centre, just up from Dalton Square on East Road.

Location Change - Goodbye Healing Hands, Hello East Road!

Isobel Hamid of 'Healing Hands' closed down 'The Bridge Clinic' next to Skerton Bridge on the 27th May. I've been renting a room there for 2 1/2 years and have grown very at home and fond of the place and was sorry to see it go! Isobel is now at Riverway House just round the corner, with both her 'Healing Hands' practice and the 'Ultima Physio' and 'Altissima Training' parts of her work that she had been developing at Total Fitness gym before its sudden closure.

As I have been working at Concept Health and Beauty on China Street on Mondays since October last year, I initially explored the idea of using the treatment room there on my other days (Thursday and Saturday). Sonia, the Beauty Therapist who is there Tuesday to Saturday, initially thought we could work round each other, but she has become so busy lately she realised it just wouldn't work out. So, I decided to have a look around at other options and ... I have found somewhere REALLY nice!

More info to follow soon!

Now Available on Mondays at Concept Hair and Beauty!

Concept Hair and Beauty is right in the middle of Lancaster town centre. It is at number 41 China Street, which is on the one way system round town, next to Sue Bridges Estate Agents and just round the corner from Market Street and the main shopping area.

There is a beauty room at the back of the salon which is used by beauty therapist Sonia Gilmore Tuesday to Saturdays and is now home to Holistyx on Mondays! I am available from 9am when the salon opens right through to 7.30pm.

So if you work in town, why not make an appointment to come along after work, for a bit of relaxation at the end of a hard day? A lot of people suffer from work related stress, what better way to unwind, relax, and enable yourself to enjoy your evening and cope better the next day than finishing your work day with a relaxing massage? Or perhaps, with the central location, you might even fit in a massage or reflexology treatment before work or in your lunch break?

My full range of treatments, Swedish Massage, Indian Head Massage, Aromatherapy massage and Reflexology are available. The staff at the salon do not make appointments for me, as I need to speak to you to make sure the treatment you wish to have is suitable for you, but they are happy to take your name and number and pass them on to me - for me to contact you - if you wish. Or just give me a ring on 07888 692803.

Location

I thought it would be useful to provide details on the location of the clinic where I hire a room -
Healing Hands, The Bridge Clinic, 14 Owen Road, Lancaster, LA1 2AR.

Here it is, marked on a map, and what the front of the shop looks like -









Can you see the skeleton in the window?!

If you've driven into Lancaster from Morecambe you might have noticed it on your left just before you cross the Lune River over Skerton Bridge.

Directions

Driving - From Morecambe is straightforward From Lancaster you just need to go over the Greyhound Bridge, circle round to your right into Morecambe Road, past Our Ladies High School and Ryelands Park, and right again into Owen Road, and there is car parking on your right, where there is a bay of shops directly opposite the clinic.

Bus - The clinic is right on a main bus route between Lancaster and Morecambe.

Walking - You can walk there over the Skerton Bridge, or the rather nicer Millenium Bridge from Quay Road which takes you straight into Lune Street, which comes out on Owen Road and the clinic is just across the road on your left.

Train - You can see the train station on the map. Either walk from there - or walk to the bus station which is just off the near side of Cable Street, and get a bus from there.

If you need any more help working out how to get there,
try using multimap. You get a choice of 4 different types of map, you can zoom in and out, and if you look at the tabs across the top, there is even an option to 'get directions' from the location of your choice!

Or of course, feel free to contact me. :O)
