“The Lab” Mobile Massage in Port Elizabeth/ Gqeberha: Personalized Relaxation Delivered to You

August 25, 2024 by Heather Step 1 Comment

Looking for a massage therapist that will come to you? I attended an amazing launch of “The Lab” Mobile Massage Home of Beauty, and it was such a good experience. A spectacular setting (The Courtyard Hotel) yummy eats, good company and an amazing woman who is uplifting and supporting women to build and grow as massage therapists. Mobile Massage in Port Elizabeth/ Gqeberha has a great new option for you to support and get that much needed self care.

In South Africa today, it’s unavoidable to see the unemployment rate standing on the side of our streets. And then, if you go over to America, as I recently did, you’ll see the contrast with places “Now Hiring.”

That is why it was so inspiring to listen to Shaazia Soomar, who has experience in both the beauty and property business. She is training massage therapists not only in this skill, but in business, so that they can be successful.

“So we aren’t just giving someone a pebble, then saying “This is a pebble.” We’re giving them something that they can physically turn from lemons to lemonade, sell that, and in future educate other women. So today, we are standing in a small hall, which seems like a lot right now, but in ten years from now, this is going to feel like a stone compared to where we are going to be.

Watch what she said below, and you can also see it on Instagram.

Meeting Roch – Le Bloem from Algoa FM!

During the evening we also had some great speakers, including MC Roch-Le Bloem from Algoa FM who also encouraged us not to do things behind each other’s backs, “Rather uplift each other and empower each other.” (I was a bit star struck because I often listen to her when driving around! She does the 9am show.)

So now we know it’s an excellent cause, let’s look at what services The Lab provides.

Playing with balloons at the launch of The Lab Mobile Massage

I had a lovely foot massage by the amazing Alizwa. For some reason my feet just felt so stiff, so that was just what they needed. I really love foot massages.

They also had a bath of balloons which was a lot of fun to play in.

It was also amazing to meet a whole bunch of content creators!

So.. no more excuses to get that self care that you need. You’re doing it to help some very worthy women too.

I've just come from the dentist and it was awful b I've just come from the dentist and it was awful but now afterwards not so bad! Glad I took the rest of the day off though.

On the weekend we tried this recipe from Louisa Holst's new book. I've always wanted an easy way to make my own pizza with real bread dough and I think I found it. It came out like a pizza pie but still good. My son is very fussy, he moaned that he could have done a better job but he still ate it. 

What do you think? Would you try it? Full recipe and comments up on the blog.
