In late pregnancy, swelling isn’t only about extra fluid. It can also be influenced by feeling tired, stretched physically, and carrying more day-to-day load. When the body has less time to rest and recover, circulation can feel slower and adapting to change may feel harder.

Reflexology gently works with points on the feet that are connected to circulation, lymphatic flow, and nervous system balance. It isn’t about directly treating oedema. Instead, it creates space for the body to relax and regulate, which may help fluid move more comfortably.

When the system feels calmer, fluid balance often feels steadier too.

Please note: Reflexology for pregnancy is offered from 37 weeks onward.

Salt Lotus is a space for gentle, purposeful care - named after the healing power of salt and the resilience of the lotus, a flower that blooms through the mud. Here, your body and mind are supported to restore balance, ease tension, and flourish at their own pace.

My approach recognises how closely the body’s physical, emotional, and nervous system responses are linked. Stress, hormones, pain, fatigue, pregnancy, recovery, and emotional load are all carried through how we move, rest, and feel each day. Sessions are shaped around gentle nervous system support and a quiet return to balance, creating space for the body to settle and heal in its own time.

A large part of my practice is dedicated to women’s health, supporting the physical, hormonal, and emotional changes that occur at different stages of life. While there is a strong focus on gentle, supportive care, I also work thoughtfully with muscle tension, pain, stress, and recovery, providing care for anyone who needs it.

Like salt and the lotus, care here is both restorative and resilient - supporting you to settle, restore, and bloom at your own pace 🪷

As your body adapts in late pregnancy, swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet can become more noticeable, often leaving the lower limbs feeling heavy or tight.

Pregnancy oedema massage, performed in a comfortable upright reclined position, supports gentle circulation and relaxation.

Soft lower-body techniques can help ease muscle tension and encourage fluid movement, supporting comfort during the third trimester.

This gentle support can help your legs feel lighter and make day-to-day movement more comfortable.

Pregnancy oedema - especially during the third trimester is common due to the increased fluid, hormonal changes, and pressure on blood and lymphatic vessels.

Swelling is often most noticeable in the legs, ankles, and feet, particularly at the end of the day or in warmer weather.

During pregnancy, Bowen therapy for oedema focuses on gentle lower-body work to support circulation and lymphatic flow. By easing tension through the hips, legs, and feet, the body may feel better supported in managing these fluid changes.

This gentle lower-body support may help improve comfort and ease of movement as you approach the final stages of pregnancy.

Mental and emotional stress can shift the nervous system into a heightened state, contributing to ongoing tension, low energy, and difficulty being able to switch off and relax.

Reflexology works with specific points on the feet that relate to the nervous system and stress response, gently supporting the body to relax, feel more grounded, and regain balance.

This subtle support can help interrupt ongoing stress patterns, allowing the body and mind the opportunity to settle and rest.

Stress doesn’t just occupy the mind. It often shows up in the body as tight shoulders, neck pain, headaches, or jaw tension, particularly when the nervous system has been under ongoing pressure.

Massage helps soften this built-up muscle tension and supports circulation, allowing the tissues to unwind and the nervous system to receive the message that it’s safe to relax.

As the body settles, breathing naturally deepens, the stress response eases, and the mind becomes calmer and clearer.

You may even drift off to sleep on the table.

Ongoing stress can keep the nervous system on high alert, disrupting sleep, digestion, and contributing to muscle tension.

Bowen therapy gently supports the body’s return to rest and regulation through gentle, precise signals to the nervous system.

Calm isn’t a luxury - it’s the building block for healing.

As 2025 comes to a close, I’d like to extend my ample gratitude to everyone who has supported Salt Lotus throughout the year. Your ongoing trust and love for the space I have created means so much to me.

For the remainder of the year, I am now fully booked - please keep an eye on my stories for any last-minute availabilities should they arise.

And a little shout-out to Healthlinks, all of this would not be possible without your support.

Wishing you all a happy and safe Christmas, filled with love, rest, and a little extra cheer.

Thank you 🙏

In line with Cup Day, I thought I would share this bowen fun fact.

Bowen therapy was first adapted for horses by Alison Goward in 1989. A senior instructor with the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia, Alison began exploring how the gentle human technique could be applied to equine anatomy.

By 1990, she’d developed and officially named this specialized approach the Equine Muscle Release Technique (EMRT), a version of Bowen therapy designed specifically for horses, recognising the unique structure and needs of their bodies.

This is a one-off, 15-minute appointment where you’ll fill out your intake form (if not already pre-filled) in the privacy of the treatment room. We’ll then take a few moments to talk through any current issues, health history, and what your goals are.

This helps me tailor your bowen or massage to you right from the beginning and ensure your first appointment can be as beneficial as possible without it eating into your treatment time.

Scruffy hair, towel print on my face, looks like I’ve just woken up…
All signs of just having a massage.

Every therapist needs a therapist, and how lucky I am that my dad is one too.

This is Phil.. my dad, and the reason I do what I do.
Growing up, I’d watch him work as the trainer for local footy clubs, helping players back onto their feet.
And at home, he’d treat us as kids with gentle massages when we were sore or tired.

Those moments, both big and small, are what led me into this field. I wanted to understand the body and how simple, caring touch can help it heal.

If you’ve ever heard me recommend “Phil” or “my dad,” this is who I’m talking about.

He also specialises in:
• Manual lymphatic drainage
• Spinal Flow
• Reiki
• Hot stone massage

And a little shoutout to for the perfect post-massage tee.

Massage, Bowen, and Reflexology do more than ease muscle tension or support recovery.

They help the whole system rebalance physically, mentally, and energetically.

It’s more than treatment... it’s reconnection.
