Not weeks. Years. There is usually a moment — a treatment they loved, a job they have outgrown, a life that has quietly stopped fitting — that finally tips them from thinking into doing. But by the time they find their way to me, many of them are carrying something else alongside the excitement. A question they are almost too nervous to ask out loud. Am I actually capable...]]></description><link>https://www.brookesbeauty.com/post/so-you-want-to-train-as-a-therapist-here-is-what-nobody-tells-you</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a217d8bde6a4fa1b1f23c3b</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jun 2026 13:29:53 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9e80bc_be35b9064ad34390b4fea73005eac87f~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>brookesbeauty0</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Sleep Is the One Thing You Cannot Have]]></title><description><![CDATA[By Lindsey Brookes | Brookes Therapies There is a particular cruelty to sleeplessness that I do not think gets named often enough. It is not just the tiredness. It is the fact that when you need sleep most — when the stress is highest, when the body is most depleted, when the mind is running hardest — sleep becomes most evasive. The very desperation for it seems to push it further away. And then a new layer of suffering appears on top of the original one: the anxiety about not sleeping. The...]]></description><link>https://www.brookesbeauty.com/post/when-sleep-is-the-one-thing-you-cannot-have</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a217bbfe3c740ba363679a1</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jun 2026 13:25:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9e80bc_5bc9e202f3ed4e469c25189adbce33e5~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_896,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>brookesbeauty0</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reflexology — The Treatment Most People Overlook Until They Try It]]></title><description><![CDATA[By Lindsey Brookes | Brookes Therapies If you have never had reflexology, there is a reasonable chance you have a mild, unexamined scepticism about it. Maybe you associate it vaguely with something your aunt tried once, or a poster you saw in a health food shop with a diagram of a foot covered in tiny labelled zones. Maybe you assume it is pleasant enough but essentially decorative — the kind of thing you might try on a spa day but would not seek out for anything serious. I understand that....]]></description><link>https://www.brookesbeauty.com/post/reflexology-the-treatment-most-people-overlook-until-they-try-it</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a217a98513f7725cf1eceb6</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jun 2026 13:18:59 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9e80bc_71b5f768602f4f4aa090943d664fe0fd~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>brookesbeauty0</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Manual Lymphatic Drainage: Why Finding the Right Therapist Can Change Everything]]></title><description><![CDATA[There is a version of this conversation I have had more times than I can count. Someone has just had surgery — elective or otherwise — and they are sitting with me for the first time. They are swollen, uncomfortable, and a little overwhelmed. And somewhere in the fog of their recovery, someone has mentioned that they need lymphatic drainage. They have searched online, found very few options, and eventually found their way here. Sometimes they have left it too late to start. Sometimes they...]]></description><link>https://www.brookesbeauty.com/post/manual-lymphatic-drainage-why-finding-the-right-therapist-can-change-everything</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a217a64de6a4fa1b1f23449</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jun 2026 13:15:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9e80bc_4a6e79e63e2646d09a4602755362f36c~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>brookesbeauty0</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before You Book That Spa Day — Read This First]]></title><description><![CDATA[By Lindsey Brookes | Brookes Therapies Spa days are lovely. I want to say that clearly, before I say anything else, because this is not an attack on spa days. The beautiful surroundings, the fluffy robes, the time away with a friend or a partner—there is real value in all of that, and I would never dismiss it. But there is a conversation I think is worth having: What are you actually getting for your money? What can your local therapist offer that a spa package often cannot? How does the gift...]]></description><link>https://www.brookesbeauty.com/post/before-you-book-that-spa-day-read-this-first</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a202a33f9e37e2aaa16a008</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:32:04 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9e80bc_6793f52c0cc24484ae78567b28d849fc~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>brookesbeauty0</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anxiety and the Nervous System — Where Complementary Therapy Fits]]></title><description><![CDATA[By Lindsey Brookes | Brookes Therapies Ask most people whether they have anxiety and they will say no. Then they will tell you they cannot sleep. That their shoulders are always tight. That they feel snappy and depleted and cannot seem to switch off at night even when nothing is actually wrong. That they are tired in a way that a good night's sleep — on the rare occasion they have one — does not fix. They do not call it anxiety. They call it being busy. They call it just life.
