💜Now taking bookings for 21st-23rd and 28-30th August🗓💜
I am fully booked this week and then I'm taking the last 2 weeks of the school holidays off... I have a Wedding to attend 😁😍😁. Spaces for the end of August are already starting to fill up so please get in touch if you are planning to arrange a treatment once the schools go back. I will be back at work for 3 weeks and then off for another week 😎🌞... Then I'm done, promise 😄💜

No "to do" lists this week, just try to spend a little more time listening to my body, moving a little more, sleeping a little more, taking time to sit and eat. Sounds like a plan right? What are your intentions for the week? Anything you'd like to be held accountable for come Friday? 😁💕

Self-care Sunday
I do like a bit of my own company, being in a busy place and silently watching the world go by. Still being productive and getting things done but at my own pace and with time to think.
How are you looking after yourself today, I'd love to hear what you are up to?

💜 Hugs are the best 🥰

I need your help please 🙏. I'm going to hold my hand up now and say I'm not very good with that sentence. Being a self-employed small business owner has possibly made this worse... I am a one woman band, head of marketing, finance, admin, human resources 🤪 I had a wee 💡 moment this week though. Perhaps people don't always want to hear from me about what I do... maybe they'd appreciate it more coming from you? SO HERE'S THE ASK... If you have come to see me before, be it fo...r treatments or mindfulness, here's what I'd like to know. What treatment did you come for? What was the best bit? Which is your favourite? Do you think your treatment is useful for any specific conditions? How has Purple Poppy helped you? Please answer however many questions you have time for and post them privately or publicly but by responding you are saying it's okay for me to use the comment in future marketing materials. I just want to say a big thank you to all of my customers, old and new. You make each week different and you are the reason I love my job 😊💜 #purplepoppyscotland #theask #howamidoing #onewomanband #unsplashphoto

Just wanted to say a wee Hello! to all of the newcomers to the page 🙋‍♀️ lovely to have you here. My name is Gillian and I am an HND qualified Complementary Therapist and Member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists . I have been working above Curves gym in Beith for almost 3 years, providing a wide variety of Complementary Therapies ( https://purplepoppyscotland.com/services/ ) to both men and women. A Stress Management course prompted me to then undertake a Mindfulness ...course and I found this to be life changing in terms of managing my own stress and anxiety. Keen to share this experience with others I have been running Mindfulness group sessions and teaming up with another practitioner to offer Yoga/Mindfulness events and retreats. Aromatherapy was the subject that started me down this path. Having a clearer understanding of some of the chemicals that are in everyday skincare really shocked me and so I learned how to make some of my own. Sadly, there isn't always time to make my own lip balms and lotion bars 😂. I went in search of natural skincare and found Weleda 💚. I am now also a Weleda Wellbeing Advisor and proud to work for a company that carries the NATRUE brand. I think that's everything I do?! I'm sure some of my loyal customers will tell me if I've missed anything 😄🙈 So, if you would like to know more about any of the services that I offer, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thanks for reading,
Gillian 😊💜

Perfectly worded by Happy hippie Boutique . Hoping a few of you might be able to spare a minute to do this for me as well. Much thanks and appreciation for anyone who interacts with the Purple Poppy posts 😊💜

I ❤ my bed 😄

Well done to Fraser McLean for winning this weeks Weleda prize. 2 weeks to go until I stop for my summer break so next week there will be yet another prize draw and anyone who is booked in for a Natural Lift Facial Massage will get £5 off the regular price. I am now fully booked for next week but still a few spaces left the following week.

What if we just loved ourselves. Just as we are...right now. Without making any changes. How would life feel then?
This week, in my personal life, I've been shopping for outfits for events and holidays and talking to other people about their experience of this. It can cause so much emotion can't it!? I've also noticed a few friends struggling with their eating and it led me to revisit a lot of the materials that I read for Mental Health Awareness week and the topic of #bebod...ykind Clothes shopping and emotional eating are 2 different issues but can't both be helped if we just start with a little bit of self love and acceptance. Your body is beautiful, look at everything you've got through up until this point! Love it ❤ #purplepoppyscotland #thoughts #thoughtoftheday #selflove #selfcare #loveyourself #itsoktobedifferent #northayrshire #perfectlyimperfect #unsplashphoto
