✨ Feeling all the end-of-year gratitude ✨

I just want to say a huge thank you to every single person who has supported the clinic this year. Your trust, kindness, messages, recommendations, and stories have meant the world. 💛

I absolutely love what I do, and it’s a real privilege to be part of your healing journeys — whether supporting recovery after birth, easing pain, rebuilding confidence, or helping you feel more at home in your body again. Watching people grow stronger and feel more like themselves is the best part of this job.

It’s been a big year: a new clinic, a full diary, and lots of exciting change. Thank you for keeping me so busy, and for choosing to share your time, energy, and vulnerability with me. It truly doesn’t go unnoticed.

The clinic will now be closed for 2 weeks over the festive period, and will reopen on Monday 5th January.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, and a wonderful New Year when it comes. 🎄✨

Here’s to more learning, more laughing, more breakthroughs, and more pelvic health wins in the year ahead. 🥂

From my heart — thank you. 💛

We don’t talk about this part of fertility treatment enough.
The quiet, heavy moment that comes after you’ve completed your family… or decided your journey is over.
When you’re suddenly faced with a question you never imagined at the start:

What do we do with our remaining embryos?

Tiny maybes.
Little sparks of hope we poured our hearts, our bodies, our time, our money, our everything into creating.
And now we have to choose.

We’ve been sitting with this decision for months — paperwork unopened, phone calls avoided, both of us circling around the conversation because it felt too big, too emotional, too final.
But this week, I finally picked up the phone and made the request.
And even though it only took a few minutes… it absolutely winded me.

No one warns you about this grief.
The guilt.
The relief.
The endless what ifs that sit quietly in your chest.

Ending storage isn’t just ticking a box.
It’s closing a chapter that changed us forever.

There are options:
• Donate to another family – a beautiful path, a bit like adoption. (Not an option for us, unfortunately)
• Donate to research – choosing to help future families in ways we may never see.
• Or discard – a decision that can feel impossibly heavy, yet still valid, still yours.

We chose to donate to research.
And even though it was the right choice for us, it still carried a weight I wasn’t prepared for.

We should talk about this more.
The emotional labour.
The invisible heartbreak.
The right to choose what feels right for your family, even when none of the options feel easy.

If you’re here too — thinking, delaying, grieving — I see you.
You’re not alone.
And your feelings, every tangled one of them, are allowed.

A lovely start to the morning at Sonya’s class ✨
So good to move my body and get my bum in gear (literally!) as I get started on my own Pilates teacher training with .

Even better to catch up with both current and past patients in class and hear how you’re all getting on 🥰

✨ Lovely receiving reviews like this ✨

One of the things I value most about my work is having the time to really listen, understand, and get to the root of the problem for each of my patients. 💙

If you’d like to book an appointment, you can do so easily through my booking page (link in bio) or drop me an email if you’re unsure which type of appointment is right for you.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you feel your best! 🌿

Great wee holiday yoga class for kids!

Kids yoga tomorrow! Wednesday 9th July in Linlithgow…

Hey everyone, this July I’m running two kids yoga sessions at Cross House in Linlithgow - 9th & 30th July 11-12 in the main hall.

The class is suitable for roughly ages 4-8 years old, and the grown ups can join in or sit in the next room with some home baking and a hot drink!

We have the main hall for an hour, the yoga class is about 45 minutes and then the kids have a wee play after, a juice and a cake/biscuit.

The class is fun and energetic and we really move our bodies! I like to teach fun tools for kids to learn how to self regulate and invite them to try out some meditation. I always finish with relaxation, a wee sound bath and a chat after. It’s £8 per child and includes refreshments for them and their grown ups ☺️

I’ll pop the link below to book in, but reach out if you have any questions.

On holiday in Scotland (it hasn't all been this weather! 😂) but enjoying some time off with the kids and husband during the school holidays.

Online booking is available - link in bio.

I will reply to emails on my return to clinic.

Apologies for the break in pelvic health content and some holiday spam 😂

Samantha runs baby massage classes and also works in a local nursery as an early years practitioner - you're in safe hands with her lovely classes! 😍

I’m having a bit of a few issues with Facebook at the moment. It’s refusing to recommend my posts as seemingly I am not following the rules. They are suggesting I am using baby massage as a “quick fix” for some of the benefits it helps with and suggesting I am not following the nudity clauses appropriately. I can assure everyone I have permission to use all the pictures I do use. I am also trained with the International Association of Infant Massage and pay an annual fee to stay registered with them as well as attending refresher courses. I am also PVG disclosed and I’m an early years practitioner with West Lothian Council.
I would really appreciate if when I post if you guys could share to get my wee business out there.
Thank you 💜

Great day with .academy.professional doing some CPD to add to my clinical repertoire.

Acupuncture specific to women's health including overactive bladder, hot flushes, endo, menopausal symptoms, pelvic pain, pelvic girdle pain...

Learned some new skills in auricular (ear) acupuncture and some Korean hand acupuncture!

Lovely to see as always and to finally meet Caroline who hosted from her new clinic in Hamilton ❤️

The online booking is available for 6 weeks in advance and I am currently fully booked. I can add you to the cancellation list if you send me your full name and phone number.

The online booking is on a 6 week rolling schedule so new appointments should become available on Mon/Wed/Thurs subject to existing patients being booked in ahead.

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful but the clinic is just so busy at the moment.
