INTRODUCING JAPANESE HEAD SPA

I am so excited to be bringing this new treatment in the New Year.

What is Japanese Head Spa?
Originating in Japan, a head spa treatment focuses on improving scalp health, promoting hair growth and providing a deeply relaxing experience.

Japan's Traditional Onsen culture has been around for centuries. Bathhouses have been integral to Japanese society for centuries and emphasise relaxation, purification and the therapeutic benefits of hot spring water and natural minerals. Historically, Japanese women are known for their beautiful, long hair which they maintained through vigorous hair care rituals.

Each head spa treatment will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed, with the added benefit of a healthier scalp.
Each treatment starts and ends with a scalp analysis. Where we assess your scalp health through a microscope (swipe for before and after Japanese head spa).

Treatments range from 70mins to 150mins long - pure luxury!

Now available to book online ✨️

Use code NEW20 when booking to receive 20% off ANY Japanese Head Spa treatment in January.

I can't wait to pamper you all 🤍

The importance of scar therapy and massage

Scar tissue is thick and fibrous, over time it shortens and can become 'stuck' to other structures.

The role of scar therapy allows us to positively change the way scar tissue lays itself down and make it more functional.

'Breaking down' scar tissue is a myth, but we can positively affect it's behaviour.

My own scar journey

*these photos include photos of infections*

As some of you know, I had an elective c-section to deliver my daughter back at the end of April. (ended up being a Category 2 as I had gone into labour before my elective date!)

Being a scar therapist, it must mean I've had the easiest journey with my scar? Oh, it couldn't be further from the truth! 😅

Firstly I recovered super well, to then see a minute hole open up in my scar about 3 weeks pp and immediately requesting some antibiotics to be on the safe side as I knew it meant something was going on underneath and although it didn't 'look' infected. I knew how quickly things could change.

Less than 24hrs after starting my antibiotics, I was rushed to hospital with sepsis and stayed the week for IV antibiotics and monitoring. I had an abscess in my scar layers and the scar on the site of my womb was infected. The first photo is while I was in hospital and the abscess was causing a large swelling and overhang. I went on to have another 2 infections in my scar before I FINALLY saw light at the end of the tunnel. Leaving me with a raised, red, hypertrophic scar. NOT what I had planned at all!

The first 3 months were simply gentle recovery, steroid and antibiotic cream and tablets. Once it was fully healed, I wore silicone sheeting for 23hrs a day for around 5 weeks to combat the hypertrophic aspect of my scar.

Twice daily application of NAQI Scar repair oil and Alhydran Scar moisturiser. And daily scar massage.

I now have no overhang or deep adhesions and slowly my scar is fading, with two little hypertrophic patches where the subsequent infections were. I have no numbness in my stomach or around my scar and full sensation everywhere and the most important thing - no pain!

Just a little reminder that scars will go through peaks and troughs of recovery. It will never be linear and sometimes you may take many steps backwards before coming forwards. Your scar will change for up to 2 YEARS post partum or post trauma. But it's never too late to start looking after it.

If you've got a scar and you're not sure how to help it, please dm me SCAR and we can talk about it 🤍

And just like that, time for maternity leave 🥹

I didn't think it would wrap around so quickly but it has and now I am officially off the clock for a little while!

I just want to say a humungous thank you to all my clients who have been so patient and understanding during this pregnancy! From bringing me ginger biscuits and sweets during the sickness in first trimester, to graciously accepting last minute cancellations for appointments and check ups throughout. And not to mention spoiling me and baby with such wonderful thoughtful cards and gifts. I truly feel so lucky to have such a wonderful client base.

Checking off all your last appointments has felt so bittersweet and as much as I'm sad I won't see you each month now, I am excited to be putting my cankles up for a few weeks before little miss makes her appearance!

I leave you in the very capable hands of Suzy, who will holding the fort until I'm back in around October time. Please be aware that replies on social media/text will be slow for a little while. Best point of contact will be email!

I look forward to showing off my little one when I'm back, but for now I'm signing off for a little while 🤍

SCAR THERAPY

Client came in post double mastectomy reconstruction with some tightness at the bottom of her scars causing restricted movement in her arms.

These are the results:

✨We've gained almost 1cm length on the left scar and massively reduced the redness.

✨We've gained some length in the right (the more troublesome one) and reduced the tightness in the tethering at the bottom.

Clients treatment so far:

🤍 1 x 1hr scar treatment
🤍 Been sent home with a self scar massage routine to aid results and advice on products to aid scar repair
🤍 Subsequent treatments booked in

Do you have a scar causing you pain, discomfort or restriction? Or have you had a traumatic surgery or accident and would like some advice and a kind ear to talk though your ordeal with? Book in now for a 30 minute consultation for only £10 (redeemable against treatment or products) or pop us a message!

Happy New Year to everyone!

We're ready for a busy 2024 and excited to get back to treating you tomorrow 🤍

Thank you to all clients new and old who made 2023 so busy! We're greatful for each and every one of you.

As I'm sure you all feel, the cost of living rise has not slowed down. We as a business have tried to cover the footfall as much as possible, but with rising rents and product expenses, our prices will be increasing as of 1st Feb 2024.

New prices for treatments will be uploaded to our stories later on today and saved under our prices highlight.

All packages bought at the 2023 price will still be valid to cover the new costs.

We thank you for your understanding and support and look forward to a jam packed 2024 ✨
