Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the Cornerstone Therapies Blog! This has come about after 7 years of publishing newsletters on paper and then sending them to my clients. The have been beautiful, but due to the speed of life they are often slightly out of date (by about a month), and only published every quarter. This blog is for everyone, clients and therapists alike, to find out what I am doing in the pursuit of amazing therapy, how I am doing it and why I believe it is best for you.

I could sit here and write a seven year history of Cornerstone Therapies, but I think it would be best to start with today and go forward from here. I can colour in the blanks if and when you want me too. Saying that, I would like to introduce you to Cornerstone Therapies (CST) and myself now.

CST comes from my firm belief that the cosy 'World Of Spa' and the healing, yet slightly clinical, 'World Of Sports Therapy' can be brought together in a wonderful relationship. I have had 11 years to see how people react to therapy and I can safely say that my clients feel a million times better and start to beat their pain patterns a lot quicker if they are warm, relaxed and not beaten up! Sports Massage Therapy is often seen as something that you have to do if you do sport and you hurt, then the massage is painful and a bit of an ordeal. That is why I choose to call myself an Advanced Clinical Massage Therapist. It's a bit of a mouthful, but it means that people don't associate me with inflicting pain to my clients. You will here this concept broadened and sculpted over the next few months and years, but that is my nugget of thought.

I am often asked why I choose to offer Skin Care Treatments. The reason is very simple; your skin is your largest organ and so needs to be looked after! Facials are not only one of the most relaxing treatments I know of, but carried out every 4 to 6 weeks they can help regulate this fascinating organ and help you to live in it more comfortably. (Plus; I really enjoy doing them!!) Dermalogica offers you the best products on the market as there is a huge difference from your home care regime and what I can do for you in your treatments. You are able to do the best for your skin every day at home with Dermalogica, so when you come for a treatment with me at CST I can take your skin to the next level with tailor made products of a professional strength. No facial should be something that you could do yourself in the bathroom as they are simply a waste of your time and money. You need a professional therapist with the latest technology for your skin care facial and that is what I can offer you.

I am hoping that this blog will take shape soon. I would like to start writing up days that have gone really well with my studies, products I have enjoyed during the week as well as offering you some videos of what you can do in-between treatments to keep in tip top condition! Also, I will endeavour to learn how to put links up for all the companies that I use, as well as photos so you can see where I work and what CST looks like. I hope you enjoy reading this regularly and that it brings you closer to a healthier you.
