Hello! My name is Carolynn Binnie. Thank you for being a part of my world!

(I have lost my fringe since this was taken)

By writing this blog, I intend to show how massage can help you to cope with the day to day stress that we all experience at times.  Massage can ease any aches and pains you may have and will increase your energy levels.  Just like you I have ups and downs in my life… massage help’s me to keep my feet firmly on the ground.  I am not a beauty therapist; I am a holistic therapist and believe in natural, chemical free products.  No fuss, just good quality simple things in life make me happy.  I believe the whole body should be treated, the mind, body and soul.

My husband suffered a horrible motorbike accident 20+ years ago which left him with a paralyzed arm;  I then qualified in 1994 and massage has been a major part of our lives ever since, easing his headaches, keeping his muscles supple and helping him feel “whole”.  My sons have grown up with massage and I hope will always use this important communication tool.

Three Benefits of Massage

1. It relieves headaches. The most common cause of headaches is stress and sore muscles. Massage relieves tension in the muscles of your neck and back and can be used as prevention or treatment of reoccurring headaches. Massage promotes the release of natural hormones which relieve pain without the need for medication.
2. It boosts the immune system. Not only can you prevent the common cold with a massage, but you can fight any type of sickness or disease you are battling. A massage stimulates the immune system which is your body natural defence mechanism. People with HIV who are massaged have shown an increase in the number of healthy cells which fight viral infections.
3. It reduces anxiety.  Anxiety is common for those who are stressed out and need a little TLC. It is the healthiest treatment and prevention technique to chase away stress and anxiety. Massage has even been proven to reduce anxiety in depressed children, anorexic women and in individuals who are trying to quit smoking.

Other benefits of massage include higher self esteem, a more relaxed state of mind and relief from aches and pains caused by physical ailments or overexertion. As if you need another reason to get a massage!

My Personal Goals

Some of my personal goals include:

1. Teaching people that it is OK to have some “down” time.
2. Reaching out to Autistic Children and their families and connecting in some small way through the power of touch.
3. Build awareness of dealing with stress.
