Hello everyone,
I hope you are all keeping well and finding a little time for yourselves as we move towards the winter months.
This will be my final newsletter of the year, as the coming weeks inevitably gather pace and my treatment calendar begins to fill with clients looking for a little pre-party skin ritual. There’s nothing quite like a sculpting facial to revive tired skin, release tension and bring back that beautiful, natural glow ahead of the festive season.
I’ve shared my remaining availability for November and December below, so if you’re hoping to carve out a little time on the treatment couch, do get in touch to secure your space.
A little something special for the season...
This year, I’m delighted to be hosting a Skin & Scent Workshop in the beautiful, light-filled events space at An Acre of Land, a newly opened women’s apparel store in Groves Yard, Milton-under-Wychwood.
An intimate gathering dedicated to slowing down and reconnecting with ourselves, I’ll be guiding guests through a gentle breathwork session and sharing some of my favourite facial massage techniques to bring a little of the treatment-room magic into your everyday skincare ritual.
There will also be skin-loving smoothies to sip, delicious energy bites to enjoy and a thoughtfully curated goodie bag to take home.
With just ten spaces available, early booking is recommended. You’ll find the booking link below, and I would absolutely love to see you there.
A few festive dates for your diary...
I’ve also included details of the lovely Christmas fairs where I’ll be trading this year, alongside a little collection of beautiful things currently catching my eye (and making their way onto my Christmas wish list) in Botanical Woodshed Curates.
And finally, before the year draws to a close, I wanted to say a heartfelt THANK YOU X.
To every client who has booked a treatment, every customer who has purchased my products and everyone who continues to support my little business — I am endlessly grateful.
Being able to do what I love, to hold space for you, work creatively with my hands and share my passion for skin and wellbeing, is something I never take for granted. Your continued support truly means the world.
Wishing you all a beautiful, restful and glow-filled end to 2026. I hope to welcome you back onto the treatment couch very soon.
With love,
Julie xx

Using botanical skincare, breathing essences, natural soy wax and essential oil hand-poured candles from Botanical Woodshed, we will be creating a calm, spa-like experience. The aim is for each guest to leave feeling relaxed, refreshed and confident enough to recreate a simple facial ritual at home.
