A little behind-the-scenes from a recent session with one of my active clients who came in with tired, overworked muscles in her upper back.

Before working directly on the sore spots, it’s so important to release the tension in the surrounding areas first. Our bodies are incredibly connected — when one muscle group is tight, it creates a pull-on effect somewhere else, soo…
So we began by loosening the glutes and hamstrings including stretches and compressions, helping her whole body settle and open up, before working our way up to the upper back and shoulders where the discomfort was more noticeable.

In this session I used:
👉 Energising compression techniques
👉 Dynamic stretching to create space between muscle fibres
👉 Targeted upper-back work to bring ease and relief

This combination helps the body relax deeply, improves mobility, and leaves you feeling lighter, looser, and ready to move again.

How is your body feeling?

✨ Women’s Circle: Love Languages & Motherhood ✨

Every Monday at 10-11:15am, I am holding space for a free, community circle for women, at St Anne’s Church, Three C**t Street — a gentle, welcoming place to gather around motherhood, love, and connection.

Whether you’re a woman caring for little ones, supporting others, or carrying the wisdom of generations, this space is for you. 💛
Come as you are — tired or joyful, quiet or curious. There’s room for every woman and every kind of presence here.

With soft blankets, comfy sofas, gentle music, toys for little ones, warm drinks, and a few treats, this is a space to slow down, connect, and simply be — no pressure to share or do anything.

I created this circle because I really believe we’re not meant to do life — or motherhood alone.

You can reserve your Free spot via the Women’s Circle link in bio.

Reflections on alignment and wellbeing…

I was talking to a close friend recently who’s making some big changes in her life. Her need — and inner conflict — to leave something behind had grown over time, and now she’s taking important steps forward. I know it hasn’t been easy, and I’m so proud of her.

We got onto the topic of alignment — what it really means, and how it shows up in our lives. I sometimes like to share these reflections here because alignment is such a key part of wellbeing. I’m no expert — just sharing my personal experiences in case they help someone else.

Over the years, I’ve had to pause and ask myself: Is this still in alignment with who I am and how I want to live?

Sometimes that’s meant stepping away from a work role I cared about, or noticing that certain relationships — with a close relative, a business, or a friend — weren’t balanced. Over time, I realised I was giving too much — time, energy, understanding and so on.

And yet I kept going, maybe because of the time already invested — the shared history, memories, or work that had gone into it. There’s a name for that: the sunk cost fallacy — holding on not because it’s right, but because we’ve already given so much.

I’ve learnt that my personal values can’t just be something I talk about — they have to be part of how I actually live. Living in alignment can be uncomfortable at first, but it’s freeing in the long run. Saying no to things that don’t align makes space for what really does.

What about you? Where in your life might you be invited to realign with what really matters to you?

New space, same nurturing energy…

I’m so happy to share that I’ll now be working from a new treatment room in Skylines Village, Canary Wharf once a week (to begin with!) — a calm, nurturing space for women to step away from the noise of daily life and focus on themselves. 💆‍♀️

For those who prefer the comfort of home, home visits are still available — but now you also have the option to come and see me in this beautiful space.

My official launch is this Sunday, and I’m already almost fully booked — I’m so grateful for all the love and support. 💛

I’ve been listening to my clients, and soon I’ll be introducing new offerings for pregnancy and postnatal recovery — I can’t wait to share more.

This is exactly why I love what I do- creating a space where clients feel safe, supported and able to reconnect with their bodies. Whether it’s post-partum care or simply making a bit of time for yourself, it’s so important to feel comfortable in your own skin. Massage is more than just a treatment- it’s a chance to pause, breathe and come back to yourself 💛

I absolutely love holding space for and supporting my clients. The early days of motherhood can be both beautiful and challenging, and it’s such a privilege to walk away from an appointment knowing I’ve helped someone feel more relaxed, lighter, and less in pain. 💛

To my dear mamas-to-be, mamas, friends, and this beautiful community —

One thing I’ve learned is that the moment we find the courage to speak honestly, to share our struggles, and be vulnerable… we realise we’re never truly alone.

In the early days, I didn’t talk much about my pregnancy. I hardly took any photos of myself pregnant. I kept most of it to myself — the physical pain, the emotional weight, the fear.

I always knew I wanted to be a mum. But if I’m honest… I didn’t enjoy pregnancy itself.
Between IVF, joint pain from hypermobility, and navigating it all during a pandemic, I felt anxious, overwhelmed, and like a stranger in my own body.

I remember breaking down in tears one night and my partner trying to help however he could booked me a pregnancy massage at home with a therapist that was recommended to us. I was hesitant. Self-conscious. But desperate.

That session — and the others that followed — changed so much for me.
For the first time in months, I felt calm and grounded. It didn’t just ease the aches and pains — it helped me reconnect with myself, soften the anxiety, and find a little peace when I needed it most.

Those moments planted the seed that led me to immerse myself fully in massage therapy and retrain as a therapist myself. A couple of years later, I found myself rebuilding strength — both physically and mentally — and stepping into a new sense of purpose.

Now I hold space for other women navigating pregnancy, postpartum, chronic pain, and stress. Healing is never linear. But it can be beautiful. 💛

So here it is — me sharing a pregnancy photo at 8 months, something I never thought I’d do at the time.

✨ In next week’s newsletter, I’ll share more of this journey — including how I found strength and purpose again, how I implemented a new lifestyle, rebuilt strength after becoming a mum, and sharing practical tips and tools from my lived experience.

✨ Women’s Circle: Love Languages & Motherhood ✨

Starting 26th September, I’ll be holding space for a free, biweekly community circle for women, at — a gentle, welcoming place to gather around motherhood, love, and connection.

Whether you’re pregnant, caring for little ones, or carrying the wisdom of generations, this is for you. 💛 Come as you are—tired or joyful, quiet or curious. There’s space for every kind of presence here.

We’ll explore how love is expressed in motherhood—through culture, care, and conversation. With cushions on the floor, play area for little ones, warm drinks, and no pressure to speak, this is a space to just be.

I created this circle because I deeply believe: motherhood was never meant to be a solo journey.

🔗 Booking link will be live in my bio next week — keep an eye out.

With love,
Thaisa 🤍
