What is fascia?

Fascia is your body’s connective web. It’s a fabric wrapped around every muscle, organ, nerve, and bone.
But it’s not just passive fabric.
Fascia is alive!
It’s a full-body network loaded with sensory nerve endings, constantly sending and receiving information between your brain, body, and environment.

It helps you move, stabilise, and regulate.

It’s your 6th sense - your consciousness. Consciousness is your awareness - your ability to sense, think clearly, feel what’s really going on, and respond.
That “gut feel”.
Consciousness is not just in your head.
It’s in your fascia.

Think of fascia like your body’s internal communication highway.

When fascia is restricted through stress, trauma, dehydration, injury….those communication signals get scrambled and misfire. 

You might feel foggy, emotionally numb, reactive, or disconnected from your own body.

When fascia is hydrated, responsive, and released, you feel grounded, fluid, clear, and connected.

This is why I do Myofascial Massage.
It’s not just about loosening muscles, it’s about restoring your inner sense of self.

Through a slow, focused technique, I help unravel the stuckness — where signals have gone quiet or scrambled.
It’s like tuning your 6th sense back to clarity.
As the fascia begins to release, something beautiful happens:
* your breath deepens
* your thoughts clear
* your body softens
* and your awareness returns

You reconnect.
To your body.
To your sense of self.
To the life around you.
You feel here again!

Severe bloating and discomfort finally met their match when Brooke came to Bottoms Up.
Swipe to see her review and the photo evidence of her change.

Just 4 sessions in, and Brooke called it a “life changer.”

Colonic hydrotherapy supports the body where it’s been stuck.
Your body isn’t working against you - it’s been doing its best with what it’s been carrying.
It just needs the right environment and the most essential tool to begin again.
And that tool… is hydration.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign… this is it.

When I saw this clip I immediately thought of my relationship with my clients. Clients will thank me but I always want to thank them. They inspire me, deepen my belief, and keep me learning.

I continued to ponder, because there is actually a moment in true health therapy when something shifts. There’s an exchange.

When a client realises I’m not here to offer a tick-the-box, product sell or generic treatment plan;
when they sense the real, tangible belief I carry in both the therapy and in them;
They sink into safety.
And in that safety, they feel trust.

When a client realises they’re not being assessed - they’re being heard.
Not as a case, but as a story.
For no other motivation but for you to find hope;
When knowledge is shared to make sense, not to sell;
when it’s offered freely, for love, not gain.
That moment happens when they ground in truth.

When trust and truth meet, that moment is called connection.
And in that connection, real health begins.Not just the kind you measure but the kind you feel, deep in your body and soul.

Thank you to all my beautiful clients over the years who have offered this beautiful exchange for deep connection we were all made for.

When water meets the body

When water meets the body,
it quenches fire in hidden places -
burnt-out minds, inflamed joints, weary hearts.
It blankets the nerves like a gentle whisper.
It speaks to the anxious mind without words,
untying knots too deep for thought to reach.

When water meets the body,
it awakens the brain - thoughts become clearer,
like windows rinsed of dust.
It softens the jaw that’s held too much,
loosens the tongue to speak truth again.

When water meets the body,
the cells awaken.
It flicks the life switch in your mitochondria, the energetic current saying, “you’re alive!”
The liver sighs. the kidneys nudge free
The breath remembers depth,
It bings space between your ribs,
It steadies you, from head to toe,
reminding the spine it doesn’t need to brace.
It dances through the lymph,
and it hums through the bloodstream with quiet power.

When water meets the body
It cools the gut’s fiery messengers,
cleansing what has overstayed its welcome.
It creates discernment for what is good
And carries burdens out,
It gives rhythm to the bowels.

When water meets the body
It makes space for rest.
It untangles the inner noise.
It gives back what strain has stolen:
stillness, clarity, trust.
It reaches where hands cannot,
It tickles, like a parent playing,
Joy in the simplicity of its presence.

When the water meets the body,
It seeps into the hidden places -
the quiet griefs, the secret aches.
It finds what even you forgot was blocked.
It frees the frozen.
Moves memories stored in muscle.
You sense peace, homeostasis.
You remember how to dance.
You remember joy. 

Water quenches more than thirst.
It quenches the dry soul.
It carries memory
It reflects light.
It testifies.
It gives choice

It’s not just a cleanse.
It’s a conversation between water and body,
between body and soul,
between you and the One who designed your frame.

Water, water, water 
streams in the desert, rivers of renewal,
life from the inside out.
Out of the belly flows living water, 
and everything in you begins to flow again.
It is freedom.

I’ve been deleting photos off my phone as part of the typical new year fresh start. As I went through them, I realised how many photos I’d taken this past year with good intentions - ideas for inspiring posts to share or life stories.

My phone album was full of moments like that, where great intentions never quite made it further.

Like the photo block of every coloured uniform I have with the Buttons Up logo. That post idea only went as far as taking the photos.

But as I was about to delete those photos, including the ones taken of me for a bio, one word popped into my mind, bold and clear: love.

I simply love what I do. This love is fuelled by absolute belief, purpose, and a deep knowing that each therapy I offer, HONOURS the truth of health.

This knowing gives me the freedom to enjoy what I do. I have creative space within the limitless boundaries of each modality and I’m fully confident in it. You just cannot change my mind!

I don’t feel pressure to perform because my confidence isn’t in me - it’s in the truth of the services I offer. I trust wholeheartedly in their ability to create change for a person, and because of that, I feel excited and full of hope for every person sitting in front of me. Joy is literally set before me.

I’m not in competition with anyone else, nor do I need any external validation. To strive or compete would only take away from the truth of the therapy and the opportunity for it to fully benefit the client, and that is my priority. To honour this is my greatest privilege.

There isn’t a single “itis,” “osis,” or disease that can make me afraid. I believe that unless you’re dead, there’s hope! The body is beautifully designed to heal when given the right conditions. If you can’t believe it, I will believe for you until you do.

The takeaway? Every single one of us has something/s within us so great, where it isn’t work, but love.
I felt strongly to share this (also so the photos weren’t in vain 🤣).

I hope you have, or can find, something of true value and let the assurance it brings be your foundation to thrive in 2025.

❤️Sim
