Woman handing a wrapped Christmas gift to a smiling older man in a cosy Chorley living room

Every year it seems to come round a little quicker. One minute it's bonfire night, the next you're stood in a shop in Chorley town centre holding a scented candle and wondering if your sister already has six of them.

If you're stuck for ideas this Christmas, I'd like to suggest something a bit different. Not another thing for the cupboard, but a little time set aside just for them.

Why time makes a lovely present

Most of the people I know are busy. Working, looking after grandchildren, caring for parents, keeping the house going. December is often the busiest month of all, and January can feel long and grey once the decorations come down.

A gift voucher for a calm, unhurried session is a way of saying "you deserve a break". It gives someone a reason to stop, lie down somewhere warm and quiet, and do nothing at all for a while. For a lot of people that's a rare thing.

It also means they have something to look forward to in the new year, which is no bad thing when the dark nights drag on.

What a voucher can be used for

I offer gift vouchers for all three of the therapies I practise at my home clinic on Cherry Tree Grove:

  • Bowen Therapy. A first visit lasts about an hour (£50) and starts with a relaxed chat. Follow-up sessions are about 45 minutes (£45). Bowen uses light rolling moves over the muscles, with short pauses in between. You stay fully clothed, and there's no cracking and no deep pressure.

  • Fascia Release Therapy. Slow, careful hands-on work at a pace that suits the person. The first session is £65 and follow-ups are £55.

  • Reiki. 45 minutes of quiet, gentle time for £45. Again, you stay fully clothed and simply rest.

If you're not sure which one to choose, just tell me a little about the person and I'll happily talk it through with you. There's no wrong answer.

A gift for two

One idea people seem to like is the bring-a-friend double session. Two people come together and are seen side by side on two therapy beds, and the first double session is £50 for both of you. It works nicely for mums and daughters, couples, or two friends who never manage to get a proper catch-up. It can be a sweet present to share.

Is it a good gift for a man?

Honestly, yes. Plenty of the men I see would never have booked something like this for themselves, but they're glad they came once someone gave them a nudge. Bowen suits people who don't fancy oils, getting undressed or lots of fuss. Dads, grandads, husbands and brothers are all very welcome.

How to order a voucher

Ordering is simple and done directly with me, so you're supporting a small local business rather than a big chain. Just get in touch:

  • Phone or text: 07894 283038

  • WhatsApp: 07894 283038

  • Email: lancashirebowentherapy@gmail.com

Let me know who the voucher is for and which session you'd like, and I'll take care of the rest. I can send a voucher you can print at home or pass on by email or WhatsApp, which is handy if you're leaving it late.

A quick note

Bowen, Fascia Release and Reiki are complementary therapies. They sit alongside the care you get from your GP or physio, not instead of it. When the person comes for their first visit, we'll have a chat first about any health conditions so I can check the session suits them.

The clinic is a short drive from Leyland, Euxton, Adlington and Whittle-le-Woods, so it's easy to reach for most people around Chorley.

Wishing you a calm and happy Christmas.

Brett

Small moves. Big difference.
