🫶🏽🙏🏽 Lucy Webber Feeding Support - IBCLC and
Kathryn Stagg IBCLC - lactation consultant for protecting and supporting women’s anatomy!

I was going to make a post got there first, so I will just share hers as it says it all. BS!

Just because something is shared widely, doesn't mean it's true.
I really WANT there to be an image of what the lactating breast actually looks like, and I'd share the heck out of it, but this ain't it. Soz

Is your self-care really getting to the heart of the matter?

We often think of self-care as a walk, a yoga class, or a quiet moment to ourselves - all valuable in their own way. But what if true self-care goes deeper than what we do… and into how we listen to the body?

This blog hasn’t aged, so read as Jan, Body In Harmony Training Principal, explores Body (and Fascial) Unwinding - a gentle, powerful way of allowing the body to release long-held tension, patterns, and even emotions, without forcing or controlling movement. When given space and attention, the body has an extraordinary ability to self-heal.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, tense, or disconnected, this may offer a very different way to unwind, reconnect, and start your day with ease.

Read the full blog and explore a simple unwinding practice - https://www.bodyinharmony.org.uk/blog/allowing-the-body-to-unwind-and-let-go.

Adhesions may develop from a scar. In fact, they often do. Not all of them will have this straitjacketing, strangling effect on internal structures such as organs, blood or lymph vessels, or nerves, but some do.

So if you are wondering why, since the surgery, you have discomfort or pain, or you cannot move as well, or your breathing or bladder function, for example, don’t seem to be as good as they used to be, don’t just write it off as inevitable. It’s what is happening underneath a scar that needs to be considered, not how good it looks on top.

Take a look at this blog written by our Principal, Jan Trewartha, on the risks of abdominal scarring and learn more about adhesions. https://www.bodyinharmony.org.uk/blog/what-are-the-risks-of-abdominal-surgery

For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.”

“I gave my beauty and my youth to men. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.”
Brigitte Bardot

Remembering the beautiful soul that was Brigitte Bardot, or B.B. as she was often referred to. B.B. retired from acting at the age of 38, and devoted herself to her beloved animals. She was also an animal rights activist living a life that was true to her beliefs, 1934 - 2025 aged 91 years 😻🐕🐈🐎🦌🦉🐕🐈‍⬛❤️❤️❤️

Why don't we teach Sharon Wheeler's ScarWork online?

Because when we teach online, our Principal, Jan Trewartha, can't put her hands on a student's hands and feel what they feel, and thus validate those sensations. She can't guide the students, through micromovements and feedback, until they are confident they understand what is happening in the body.

Online is fine for teaching some skills but not for this critically hands-on work where Jan is focusing on developing sensitivity and skill.

You can learn more about our forthcoming in-person training courses on our website - just visit https://www.bodyinharmony.org.uk/fascia-training-courses/sharon-wheelers-scarwork-course

This work is so transformative and very very gentle! It’s what make is so important, the body is still holding the trauma that caused the Scar. Doesn’t need more trauma breaking down the tissue.🫶🏽🤗
