Why not treat your mum to some Calico Massage Therapy GIft Vouchers this Mother's Day...? If you let us know if you'd like some vouchers by 4pm on Thursday 15th March we can arrange to post the vouchers to your Mum in time for Mother's Day.

Vouchers are available in lots of different values and we will post them to the address of your choice with your special message. Just contact us to let us know if you'd like to make an order (payment is arranged through PayPal so we'll need your email address when you make the order).

Do you feel like you need a massage but don’t have the time or spare cash to book us for a treatment at the moment? Well, whilst it obviously isn’t as enjoyable and relaxing as being massaged by a therapist, self-massage (now, no sniggering at the back!) can actually be quite effective at soothing away tension if you follow our directions, make sure you are comfortable and don’t overstretch.

Over the next few blog posts we’ll give you directions on leg, feet, arm, hand and abdomen massage and will start with shoulder massage today.

Let us know in the comments if you try this and what you think. For directions on shoulder massage please click on 'Read more' below this post.

It can be a hard time of year, can’t it?  The days are short, it is freezing outside and January can end up feeling like one long post-Christmas hangover.

It is easy to feel low at this time of year and so here at Calico we’ve been thinking of ways to beat the blues... Just click on the links below to find out what we suggest!

Do you have any other ideas? We'd love to hear them!

Here at Calico we do believe in resolutions but only those that are a positive addition to your life and not ones that end up being punishing or something to beat yourself up about.

Wishing all our wonderful clients a peaceful and contented Christmas. Thank you so much for your custom and support this year. We look forward to seeing you in the New Year!

I hardly dare say it but it would seem that Christmas is just round the corner... How did that happen? So if you want to avoid getting your toes trampled on in the Christmas shopping rush, then why not make it easy for yourself and get all your favourite people  some Calico Massage Therapy GIft Vouchers...? 

They are available in lots of different values and we can post them in a card, with your message, to the address of your choice. They 'll be happy, you'll be happy and everyone's  a winner!

Eye pillows are a great way to help you relax, relieve congestion, headaches and stress. You can heat them up for a few minutes in the microwave to use as a heated compress on stiff shoulders or anywhere else that is sore. Or you can keep them in the freezer and use them to cool sore, tired eyes.

If you have some basic sewing skills and a bit of spare time  then why not try making one?! Detailed instructions and details on what you need can be found here. Or if that all seems like far too much bother then you can buy them here or here.

Enjoy!
