Let it go. Soften.
Drop your shoulders. Soften the tummy.

These are micro-moments to reset. To show the body you are ok in the moment. It is ok to become soft and regulated.

I would love to with this on the table with you. With co-regulation, I will teach you to attune to the sensations within and come into relationship with the parts of you that feel the need to be in protective mode.

Bookings available in May.

I had birth trauma from my second baby. I was left with flashbacks, feeling like I didn’t try enough, failed plus experiencing pain in my body.

My daughter was born with a vacuum cup, that left her with bruising and removal of skin over her head. She would have a trauma response with hooded jumpers and towels for so long. The sensory experience being the same.

I’ve had many babies in my clinic over the last few years who have been impacted from their birth. If you know of a family who needs this post please share it.

Pain creates a cascading effect on all aspects in your life.

Manage your stress & nervous system response and you will manage your pain.

20/04/2026

Pain is influenced by increased stress, poor sleep, mental health and emotional distress.

The nervous system becomes overly sensitive and amplifies pain signals to the brain even if there is no present damage (ie no broken bones etc).

I have worked with clients over the last 18 years who present with pain and want to feel good again in their bodies. Pain that is persistent can be crippling to live day to day with - resulting in unhappiness and depression for many.

The work I do on the table is a combination of remedial massage and nervous system rewiring. Creating softened and safety in the body - to regulate the activated nervous system which down regulates pain signals.

We can discuss your pain and my treatment by booking a phone call or book online in May.

This is a great 15 min video on the relationship with back pain and your stress.

We tend to guard and protectively hold /tense the muscles around a pain injury with our spine. This creates a chain reaction to other parts of the body - compensation. Furthering your pain and reduction of movement.
It activates parts of the brain to increase the sensitivity in the area.

Chronic pain is all encompassing to live with. It ages you, it reduces your mental wellbeing, happiness and zest for life. Cripples your ability to function as you should and do the things you want to do.

Manage your stress, manage your holding patterns will reduce your pain.
Somatic therapy can support you in this.

Prof Peter O'Sullivan discusses some of the myths about back pain which are widely held and negatively impact on the perception and treatment of back pain.

Deep pressure doesn’t always mean better results. I know many clients who are sore, have a deep pressure massage and then they are bracing, tensing on the table - the body trying to get away from the pain inflicted.

The pushing through the pain doesn’t reinforce safety in the body. The bracing is tensing muscles and activating the flight/fight response. The body wants to get away from pain.

The work I do on the table is just as effective even though the pressure is lighter. It still feels connected and the fascia releases so well. The nervous system doesn’t register the threat, which is far more regulating and relaxing.

🪶 Bookings available in late March, via booking link.

The body is in collapse.
Exhausted.
Low capacity.
Burnt out.

You are not lazy, you are in survival, you are exhausted.

The work on the table with me will help to unlock stored trauma energy. This will give the body energy. I will teach you to meet your body in the exhausted state and what you can do between sessions to tend to your fatigue and your capacity.

If you have a question about your exhaustion and if somatic work will be a fit, please DM me.
