Spot the difference! 👀

I’ve always been terrible at those “spot the difference” games in magazines — but when it comes to C-section scar release, my clients are way better at noticing the changes than me!

Still, I 1000% know the magnificent shifts this technique brings because I see it happen in real time.
✨ I see the scars change colour.
✨ I see breath open up through the abdomen.
✨ I see the lightness in a mum’s face.
✨ I see confidence and reconnection.

It’s been busy! I’ve been so generously given permission to share a few beautiful results;

1️⃣ OMG the softening of the stretch marks 😍 The shelf has reduced and there’s more space and length through her whole abdomen.
2️⃣ Fellow practitioner Shaadeh said, “The corset is coming off!” and it’s so true. This client is two years postpartum and her breath has completely changed — from jittery and shallow to a beautiful big belly breath.
3️⃣ A little redness is normal as blood flow increases. I love how the after photo shows softness - no gripping under the ribs. We also visualised sending healing colours to her scar: pink + yellow came to her💓💛
4️⃣ I can’t stop watching this breath video! After two treatments, the reconnection is just phenomenal (even if my camera tried to sabotage me 😂).
5️⃣ After just one consultation - stretch marks softened and some nearly disappeared! Collagen rearrangement + increased blood flow = magic.
6️⃣ This mum is only 8 weeks postpartum - the dark shelf has lightened and the linea nigra has straightened as alignment returns 💫

Can you spot any other differences I’ve missed? 👀
If you’ve got questions about C-section scar release, my DMs are always open 💌

My calendar’s full until the end of the year, but I’ll be opening up bookings for early next year soon — so keep your eyes peeled! ✨

forever grateful for my teacher Maddie

Here I am today at the Morning Tea, organised by the wonderful Josephine from the 🌞

Days like today remind me why I’m so passionate about supporting families through loss, my own journey began by honouring my sister-in-law and the incredible resource she created with 🪶

I’m also deeply grateful for the training I received from and my participation in the Massage for Pregnancy After Loss study

Even though I only made it for the last 30 minutes (after completing a C-section scar release session) that time was meaningful- connecting with midwives, doulas, and other professionals to talk about neonatal death, termination for medical reasons, and sharing experiences of caring for mothers after a SIDS loss.

This has been on my to-do list for a while now, but it’s time to finally bring it to life. While I already offer massage for mums after loss (you can find me on the Red Nose Practitioner Directory), I’m now working on creating a dedicated postpartum doula package specifically tailored for mums after loss.

Please keep asking me about it — it’s something families need like yesterday, and I’m determined to make it happen 🪽

A pregnancy massage with me is so much more than just a massage 💓

Each session is tailored to the mama 🥰 incorporating Spinning Babies techniques, and including complimentary little extras like Hydramama sachets, pregnancy teas, or homeopathic drops.

I also have an array of massage oils, essential oils, and balms to completely elevate the experience ☁️☁️

The word “restored” is a common theme in the feedback I receive, and many mamas also share that they feel light, floaty, and more comfortable through the hips after a session.

Supporting mamas through pregnancy and the Matrescence season is such a joy, helping them feel nurtured, grounded, and truly cared for.

🌿 Launceston Perinatal and Infant Mental Health Network meeting 🌿

We’re still buzzing after our breakfast meeting this morning!
A huge thank you to Belinda Wood and Alison Reader for sharing their insights and reflections from the 2025 Perinatal Mental Health Conference.

We’re also excited to share that our group has recently been offered support from the Mental Health Professionals’ Network

This connection meant today we were able to welcome new practitioners to our circle — all passionate about helping families to thrive.

Today’s group included social workers, psychologists, midwives, IBCLCs, doulas, GPs, child health nurses and more.

If you’d like to connect and share your passion for supporting families and mental well-being, we’d love to see you at our next meeting at the end of November 🌸

🤍Pregnancy Massage Insights🩷

I absolutely love meeting mamas exactly where they are on their pregnancy journey. No two remedial massage treatments are the same.

Yes, I can give you the most divine pregnancy massage, the kind that leaves you floating afterwards — all in the comfort of your own home. Plus, I offer private health rebates 👍

While these factors are important, what truly sets my care apart is my doula training 💫

With my whole heart, I understand the epic transformation you’re going through. Your body is doing the most incredible thing and you deserve to be loved, nurtured, and held through all the changes; physical, emotional, and spiritual — that come with this season of Matrescence 🔥

I was in absolute awe reading Claire’s beautiful and heartfelt words 🥹
Thank you for sharing your experience, it has been a privilege to walk alongside you during such a precious time 😘

A Different Kind of Sunday 💫

Sundays are usually family and rest time, but yesterday took a lovely turn 🤭

I started the day with a last-minute breech consult for a mama before her ECV (hello, moxibustion!). After a quick shower and Yoga Nidra reset, I headed off to guest speak at a beautiful postpartum planning workshop hosted by the amazing Cherie .launceston.tas

I may have greeted everyone with a “Good morning!” at 3PM 🤪 but once we got into the Blossom Motherhood Postpartum Planning Workbook, everything clicked. We sipped on Hydramama, snacked on caramel bliss balls, and shared openly about postpartum dreams and challenges.

One mama said, “Let’s catch up when the babies arrive?!” — and just like that, a community was blooming 🥰

So grateful for the chance to connect. I’ll be following up with extra resources for these special mamas soon 💌

Gentle glimpses from Our Blossom Motherhood — Coffee Catch up ☕🌸

In preparation for the upcoming group Postpartum Planning Workshop in two weeks with .launceston.tas , I wanted to hear directly from the mamas currently living and breathing this season of life🌀

So I asked: What topics do you think I should shine a light on in the workshop?

(Shameless plug — head to my bio to book your ticket 😉)

And wow, they did not disappoint. I’m always pinching myself over the incredible women who choose me to walk alongside them in their postpartum journeys. These are brilliant, intelligent mothers who deserve the very best. Here’s what they had to say:

🥘 Food Prep
Stock your freezer (buy a chest freezer if you have to — yes, one of my amazing clients did just that!).
Get a meal train going. Variety is key, and nourishing food = postpartum gold.
💡 My clients get access to specialised postpartum cookbooks as part of my care packages!

🛌 Postpartum Recovery
Go slow. Be gentle. Enjoy my warming massages with black sesame oil. Honour the delicate dance between horizontal rest and gentle movement, fresh air, and feeling your way back into your body.

🤝 Build Your Professional Village
Don’t rely on Google at 3am. One beautiful mama said the best part of her postpartum care package was having me link her with trusted, evidence-based professionals when things were outside my scope.

🧔‍♂️ Support the Dads
They’re part of the triad too. Their load increases big time — caring for older kids, cooking, cleaning, everything. Let’s make sure they feel seen and supported too.

Forever in awe of the women who let me walk beside them. You’re all brilliant.

Last month at the Perinatal Professional Network North breakfast meeting ☕️☕️☕️

We were lucky enough to score our own private space at . This absolute powerhouse of amazing professionals gathered to discuss the following topics;

❤️‍🔥 Burnout. Blown away with how this amazing collection of Midwifes, counsellor, Osteo’s and Doulas brainstormed together so many wonderful strategies that as caring professionals we can implement to look after ourselves so that we can continue to do this meaningful and powerful work. You will no longer find my phone number on my website. Sorry, not sorry 😉

❤️‍🔥 The importance of new mamas scheduling in rest during postpartum.

❤️‍🔥 To burp or not to burp. All things burping for newborns.

We have a growing strong group of members. On this occasion we had;

💫 Midwife Jodie from Tamar Obstetrics and Gynaecology
💫 Birth keeper and photograph Sheridan .birthstories
💫 Midwife Michelle from
💫 Paediatric Osteopath Zoe .osteopathy
💫 Perinatal Counsellor Danielle
💫 Belinda also joined us but ducked away early

My cup is full after spending time with these phenomenal and inspirational practitioners 🥰

My 1st C-Section Release Method testimonial 🥰Check it out!

I have been doing A LOT of these C-Section Scar Release and Abdominal Scar Release treatments lately. I know the impact they can have, not just physically but emotionally on the client. Yet I was still absolutely blown away when I received this testimonial from Katie. After two scar release appointments I was close to tears when I read her kind words about how it has helped her to reconnect and feel like herself again 🥹

I’m feeling really privileged and honoured that I can offer this service to our community. I am forever grateful to my teacher and mentor Maddie 🫶

Please share this post so that other postpartum mama’s can hear what is possible 🙌 You can heal. You can reconnect. You can feel “freer” and “lighter” again ✨

Much love
Ayla 🌸
