🌿 Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) for Pre & Post Surgery 🌿
Gentle • Effective • Supportive • Tailored to your healing journey

Planning surgery or already in recovery? Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a light-touch, clinical massage technique designed to support your body’s natural healing processes.

✨ Benefits Before Surgery

Reduces fluid retention and puffiness

Stimulates lymphatic flow for a smoother recovery

Calms the nervous system and reduces pre-op stress

Ideally received 1–3 times before surgery, with the final session 24–72 hours before your operation

✨ Benefits After Surgery

Reduces swelling, bruising and discomfort

Supports scar healing and reduces risk of fibrosis (hard, tight tissue)

Improves mobility, circulation, and lymph flow

Promotes faster recovery and a sense of calm during healing

Frequency depends on the procedure and how you're healing — often 2–3x/week early on, then reducing over time

⏱️ Flexible Treatment Options

From gentle 15-minute sessions during early recovery to full 60-minute sessions once you’re ready — your care is tailored to your needs at every stage.
Block bookings are available and can be adjusted as your healing progresses.

📌 Please note: Clearance from your surgeon may be required for early post-op care.

How many of my clients have reported a good night's sleep after a massage?

I know I sleep amazing after one 💤

Sleep is a great benefit from a massage, do you have your appointment booked yet?

😴 Sleep and Massage: Is There a Connection?

It might seem obvious to you and me that the answer is yes, but your client may not always make the link between the two.

How many times has a client come back to you and said, “Wow, I slept so well that night after the massage, best sleep I’ve had in ages,” wearing a big smile on their face?

We know that massage supports rest, relaxation, and recovery. But what’s going on beneath the surface?

Poor sleep can lead to increased production of cortisol, a stress hormone that not only slows down both mental and physical recovery, but also suppresses the immune system. You can see how this might negatively impact a person as a whole.

So if I’m working with a client who is living with or recovering from an illness like cancer, I’m especially keen to support them in getting the best possible sleep to aid their healing process.

Here are a few simple suggestions you can share with your clients:

➡️ Establish a nightly routine: Encourage a consistent bedtime ritual. Repeating the same steps each night helps signal to the body that it’s time to wind down, promoting the release of hormones that prepare the body for deeper, more restful sleep.

➡️ Nutritional support: Sometimes the body doesn't have enough of what it needs to fully relax. While I’m not a nutritionist, I often suggest speaking with a healthcare professional about supplements like magnesium and zinc, which are known to help reduce cortisol and support muscle and nervous system relaxation.

➡️ Stay hydrated throughout the day: Good hydration can reduce stress responses in the body. While drinking lots of water right before bed might lead to nighttime awakenings, staying well-hydrated during the day can support better overall sleep quality.

Improved sleep can be one of the hidden gifts of massage therapy. By helping clients make this connection, we can support them in creating habits that nourish body, mind, and spirit, long after they leave the treatment room.

Get your bikini body ❤️

Seems it’s that time of year again! My annual post to remind thousands of women that you can wear the bikini. Don’t tell yourself ‘I’ll wear that when I’m thin’ or ‘I’ll need something to cover my stretch marks from having the kids’.

I’ve had a difficult relationship with my body my whole life - but one thing I’ve always done is forced myself to wear the bikini and not to allow the urge to cover myself because I’m ashamed or embarrassed.

As a curvy woman, here are my tips:

1. Don’t be afraid to buy singles - buy your bikini top from somewhere that sizes correctly in your bra size (like the one I am wearing here) - and then buy your bikini bottoms separately. Buying a bikini set in a standard size like ‘L’ will probably just result in one part of it not fitting you properly and make you feel crappy!

2. Mix and match your bikinis - if you love the top but hate the bottoms, get yourself on the internet and find some better bottoms - high waisted look gorgeous with a nice bikini top, as do bikini bottoms with built in light control

3. Period? No problem! Get yourself some bikini period bottoms - which are absolutely brilliant these days! Expect to pay about £10-15 for good ones - thank me later!

4. Shape will change how you feel and how you look, one of the most flattering bikini tops you can get is a wrap halter - I have plenty of those. They are totally adjustable as you tie them behind your back and you can fit them however you want them to look.

5. Treat yourself to a really nice kaftan or kimono to go with your bikini, and make it look like a co-ord outfit and you’ll feel so much better when you need to cover up - and they stop you burning when the sun is too strong

6. If you have heavy b***s, avoid the stringy tie behind your neck ones, as they’ll cut into your neck and hurt your shoulders - go for something structured from figleaves, boux avenue, bravissimo, simply be or somewhere like that. If you have to go for something plain, like black - buy some cute interesting patterned bikini bottoms to go with it - or buy a few and mix and match all holiday!

All my love to you all, have a great summer - and wear the bloody bikini!!!
