Hi beautiful souls 🤍

If you’re new here, welcome 🤗 and if you’ve been here for a while, thank you for staying & being here .

I’m Suzanne, the woman behind Body & Soul with Suzanne.
A single mum to six beautiful children, navigating life with love, resilience, and a whole lot of heart.

This space wasn’t created from an easy journey.
It was created from real life.
From learning how to keep going even when things felt heavy.
From discovering how powerful gentle care can be: not just for the body, but for the soul too.

Here, I offer nurturing treatments like lymphatic drainage, relaxation massage, hijama, holistic facials, and calming rituals designed to help you slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with yourself.

Every session is about more than just the treatment it’s about how you feel when you leave.
Held.
Supported.
Lighter.

I’m so grateful to share this journey with my daughter Mariam, who brings her own beautiful energy and care into our space. Together, we create an environment where everyone feels welcome, safe, and truly nurtured.

To all my new followers, thank you for being here 🤍
I hope you feel the warmth, intention, and love behind everything we do.

Whether you come for healing, relaxation, or simply a moment of peace our doors and our hearts are always open.

With so much love,
Suzanne 🫶🫶

This transformation is the result of a personalised full-body lymphatic drainage treatment, supported with targeted cupping to release fascial tension and assist in breaking down areas of inflammation and stagnation.

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in fluid balance, detoxification, immune support, and overall tissue health. When lymph flow becomes sluggish, the body can hold onto excess fluid, inflammation, and waste , often showing up as puffiness, heaviness, tightness, or uneven skin tone.

During this session, gentle manual lymphatic techniques were used to encourage natural fluid movement, support circulation, and stimulate the body’s detox pathways. Cupping was then incorporated to help lift and decompress the tissue, release tight fascia, improve blood flow, and assist in softening areas of congestion.

In the after image, you can see:

• Improved skin tone and circulation
• Reduced shadowing and congestion
• Softer, more relaxed tissue
• Clear signs of tissue release where cupping was applied

These changes may look subtle, but they reflect meaningful internal shifts ; improved flow, reduced inflammation, and better tissue hydration.

This is the kind of result that supports long-term body health, not just surface appearance.

Every body is different, which is why each session is thoughtfully tailored to the client’s unique needs, goals, and areas of concern.

Dry brushing is a gentle yet powerful self-care ritual that supports the body from the inside out ✨

Using light, intentional strokes on dry skin helps stimulate the lymphatic system, encouraging the movement of fluid and boosting circulation. When lymph flow becomes sluggish, we may notice puffiness, heaviness, low energy or dull skin ,
dry brushing helps gently bring the body back into flow.

Beyond lymphatic support, dry brushing also exfoliates the skin, helping to smooth texture, support clearer pores and leave the skin feeling firmer and refreshed.

While dry brushing is a beautiful at-home practice, professional lymphatic drainage takes this work deeper. Hands-on treatments are designed to support lymph flow through key drainage pathways, especially when stagnation or fluid retention is present.

Dry brushing works best as ongoing aftercare ;
supporting and maintaining the benefits of your professional treatments between sessions 🤍

Together, they create a powerful balance of therapeutic care and nurturing self-care ✨

Dry brushing is one of the simplest yet most powerful self-care rituals you can do for your body 🌿

It supports the lymphatic system, encourages detoxification, reduces puffiness and heaviness, boosts circulation and helps the skin feel smoother, brighter and more alive.

By using a natural bristle brush and gently brushing towards the heart, you stimulate lymphatic flow and support the body in moving stagnation ; helping you feel lighter, clearer and more energised. It’s also beautifully calming for the nervous system… a moment to reconnect with your body, breathe, and slow down 🤍

⭐️⭐️And for my beautiful clients…
Dry brushing is one of the best forms of aftercare to help maintain and prolong the results of your lymphatic drainage, cupping and body treatments with me. It keeps the lymph moving, supports detox pathways, and helps your body continue the healing process in between sessions 🌿

🤍A few loving reminders:
• Always brush towards the heart
• Gentle pressure! it should never hurt
• Avoid irritated, inflamed or broken skin
• Best done before showering
• Always listen to your body

It’s the little nurturing rituals that make the biggest difference. Your body truly appreciates the care you give it 🤍

✨ Why I spend so much time on the neck ✨

The neck is one of the most overlooked areas of the body yet it’s one of the most important when it comes to tension, swelling, facial health, and how relaxed we truly feel.

A tight neck rarely exists on its own.
It often shows up as jaw pain or clenching, headaches, facial tension, shoulder tightness, shallow breathing, and that constant feeling of holding everything together.

From a lymphatic perspective, this area is key.

Most of the lymphatic fluid from the face, head, and upper body drains through the neck. When this area is tight, congested, or restricted, lymph flow can slow down leading to puffiness, fluid retention, heaviness in the face and neck, and a feeling of stagnation in the body.

The jaw and neck are also deeply connected.
When the neck is holding tension, the jaw often compensates clenching without us even realising, especially during stress or emotional overload. Over time, this can contribute to jaw discomfort, facial tightness, and even headaches.

That’s why I slow right down here.

Gentle lymphatic drainage and soft tissue work through the neck helps open these pathways, encourage healthy fluid movement, and reduce congestion. As the lymph begins to move, muscles can soften, circulation improves, and the nervous system starts to settle.

When the neck releases, the jaw can ease.
The face can depuff.
The shoulders can drop.
Breathing becomes deeper and fuller.
And the body receives the message that it’s safe to relax.

This work isn’t rushed or forceful.
It’s slow, intentional, and supportive allowing the body to unwind naturally rather than being pushed to let go.

Because true healing and relaxation begin when the body feels listened to.

✨ Light touch is intentional
✨ Emotional release is normal
✨ Consistency matters
✨ Aftercare is part of the treatment
✨ Your body does the healing

Soft work can still be powerful.
And when the body feels safe, it responds.

When we talk about lymphatic drainage, most people think of the stomach or the face

but the legs play one of the biggest roles in how well the whole body can detox and feel lighter.

Before we even reach the legs, we always begin centrally opening the pathways at the neck, chest and abdomen.
This step creates the “space” the lymphatic system needs so fluid from the limbs can move upward without resistance.

Once the central pathways are prepared, working through the legs becomes incredibly powerful.

The legs hold major lymphatic vessels, and when these areas become sluggish, you’ll often notice:

• heavy or tired legs
• swelling around the ankles and knees
• bloating through the lower belly
• overall puffiness
• fluid that feels “stuck”

Supporting the legs after the core pathways are open helps the whole system flow better.
Clients often stand up feeling lighter, more energised, and visibly less swollen, not just in the legs, but throughout the body.

Healthy lymph flow in the legs contributes to:
✨ reduced inflammation
✨ improved circulation
✨ better digestion
✨ hormonal balance
✨ a calmer, clearer sense of wellbeing

It’s never “just the legs.”
They’re a vital part of a full body lymphatic rhythm and when we support them properly, the entire system feels the shift.

03/12/2025

Your menstrual cycle changes more than just your mood,
it shifts the entire rhythm of your lymphatic system.

In the days leading up to your period, your body naturally holds onto more fluid. Hormones like progesterone slow the movement of lymph, which means waste, excess fluid, and inflammation don’t clear as easily. This is why you may feel puffy, swollen, tender through the breasts, and heavier through your lower belly and legs.

When the lymphatic system slows down, the body’s “inner waterways” become more stagnant. This can amplify bloating, cramps, breast discomfort, fatigue, and that feeling of emotional heaviness we often can’t explain.

Lymphatic drainage works gently never forcing, only guiding
to help your body restore flow again.

By stimulating lymph nodes, clearing pathways, and encouraging natural detoxification, it can:

• Reduce bloating and water retention
• Ease breast tenderness and abdominal swelling
• Improve circulation
• Support hormonal balance
• Calm the nervous system
• Bring a sense of lightness back into the body

Your cycle isn’t something to battle. It’s something to support.

Giving your lymphatic system a little help during this time isn’t indulgence, it’s care, regulation, and honouring the way your body works.

A gentle session during your cycle (or just before it begins) can bring comfort, relieve heaviness, and help you feel more grounded in your own skin.

Your body is always communicating. Lymphatic drainage simply helps it feel heard. 🤍

During this session, we couldn’t help but laugh at all the little gurgles and sounds coming from the abdomen, the kind of natural, funny, yet magical signs that the body gives us when it’s finally letting go.

Those gentle gurgles are more than just sounds… they’re signals of movement, release, and restored flow. The lymph is shifting, the digestive system is waking up, and the nervous system is softening into a parasympathetic (rest and repair) state.

When we calm the body and create a safe space for it to unwind, the results go beyond what we see on the surface it’s about feeling lighter, clearer, and more at ease from within.

No harsh pressure, no force just the rhythm of breath, nurturing touch, and the body’s own wisdom doing the work.

This is what I love most about these sessions… each one tells a story of reconnection, healing, and trust between you and your body. 💫

A lot of you may wonder why I spend so much time on the abdomen during a drainage session…

Because this area is truly the “CORE” of your lymphatic and digestive health.

Your abdomen houses thousands of lymph nodes ,including some of the largest and most active clusters in the entire body.

Nodes around the intestines, liver, and spleen work tirelessly to filter waste, support immunity, and move lymph back toward the heart.

When this region becomes stagnant or congested, you’ll often feel it as bloating, tightness, or that heavy “puffy” feeling through your midsection.

By dedicating extra time here, we’re not just softening the belly , we’re stimulating detox pathways, supporting digestion, and helping the entire lymphatic system flow with more ease.

Every session is about restoring balance from the inside out. 💛💚
