That’s me signing off for Christmas 💛

Thank you for the trust, the conversations, the messages, the bookings, the reviews and the quiet support this year. It’s been a big one, and I’m so grateful.

I’ll be taking a proper rest now and will be back on 6th January.

If your body feels a bit creaky, sore or fed up over the next couple of weeks, remember, you’re not broken. You’re human, and December takes a toll.

Wishing you a gentle Christmas, whatever it looks like for you 🤍
See you in the New Year.

A little Christmas note from me 💛

I’ll be finishing up for the year on Christmas Eve and then taking a proper break, returning on 6th January.

If you’ve booked in, messaged, commented, read quietly, or supported my little business in any way this year, thank you. It genuinely means more than you know.

December is a full-on month, so if your body feels a bit more stiff, tight or tired than usual, that’s completely understandable. Be kind to yourself where you can.

I’ll be back in the New Year, rested and ready for 2026 💛

Sometimes the biggest wins aren’t the ones you can put on a shelf.

Earlier this week, I shared that I’ve been named Women’s Holistic Therapy Clinic of the Year 2025/26 by the Prestige Awards (still feels funny typing that).

The bit that really got me was the judges’ feedback.
They said they chose me because of:

✨ my personal touch
✨ my online activity
✨ the consistency of my reviews
✨ and the community feel around my work

That’s you.
The women who read, comment, message, ask questions, book in, come back, recommend me, and quietly tell their friends,
“Go and see Dawn, she’ll explain it properly.”

As we creep towards the time of year where everyone starts yelling about resolutions, diets and punishing exercise… I just want to say this:

You don’t need fixing.
You don’t need shouting at.
You don’t need to “start again on Monday.”

You deserve to understand why your body hurts, and to get real, down-to-earth help to change that.

If you’re already thinking about 2026 and wondering,
“Is it always going to feel like this?”
You’re very welcome to drop me a message and tell me what’s going on in your body. I’ll always be honest about whether I can help.

💛 And if you missed it, this week’s short blog is all about this little award win, and what it means to me; the link is in the 1st comment below.

I’ve been keeping a little secret… and today feels like the right day to share it. 💛 Sunshine Holistic Therapy

Yesterday, I got a phone call telling me I’d been selected as the Women’s Holistic Therapy Clinic of the Year 2025/26 by the Prestige Awards.

The judges said they were impressed by my:
✨ personal touch
✨ online presence
✨ consistency of reviews
✨ and community feel

And honestly, that means the world, because that’s exactly what I try to build here every single day.

Warmth.
Clarity.
Support.
Proper help.
No gimmicks.
No fluff.
Just real women, real bodies, real change.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
You’ve helped create the community they were talking about.

“Does C-section scar massage actually help?”

This is another huge question women ask Google, and yes, when it’s done gently and correctly, it can make a massive difference.

Scar work can help ease:
✨ pulling or dragging
✨ raised or tight tissue
✨ sharp or stabbing pains
✨ hip or back discomfort
✨ numb areas
✨ that stubborn overhang/pouch

Most women tell me after their session:
“That pulling has eased already.”
“My scar feels so much softer.”
“My hips feel different in the best way.”
“I didn’t expect my back to feel freer, too.”

If you want home guidance, my free Scar Care 101 page is full of clear, simple support, from early healing to massage basics and safe movement tips. (Link in the 1st comment).

You’re not stuck with how your scar feels today. 💛

“Why does my C-section scar still feel numb?”

It’s one of the most common questions women ask Google, and it’s something I hear in my therapy room all the time.

So today, I’ve reshared my full blog on C-section scars:
The 4 biggest myths women are told,
What your scar might be doing beneath the surface, and what your body actually needs to heal well, whether your scar is new, old, or decades on.

If your scar feels:

*tight
*numb
*pulled
*raised
Or the overhang that just won’t shift…you’re not imagining it.
And you’re definitely not alone.

This blog might finally help everything make sense.

“Why do I still have an overhang after my C-section?”

Honestly… this is one of the most Googled questions from women.
And it’s heartbreaking how many blame themselves for it.

But the truth?
It’s often the scar pulling everything forward, not your weight, not your efforts, not your body failing you.

This week, I’m diving into C-section scars:
✨ why they feel tight, numb, raised or pulled
✨ why digestion/hips/back can feel different
✨ why the overhang can stay
✨ and how gentle scar massage can help, even years later

And if you’re not sure what’s normal, my free Scar Care 101 resources are on my website:
24hr–6wk care, do’s & don’ts, silicone tape, massage guidance, and safe ways to move — all free. (Link in my profile and 1st comment below).

More coming Wednesday… 💛

“One of the most common questions women ask Google is: ‘Why do I still have an overhang after my C-section?’.....
.....And the heartbreaking part?
Most blame themselves… when actually, it’s often the scar pulling everything in.”

I’ve just published a brand new blog breaking down the four biggest myths about C-section scars, including the one hardly anyone talks about:

👉 Your scar can change, even decades later.

If you’re living with pulling, tightness, numbness, or that stubborn pouch/overhang… you’re not imagining it.
And you’re absolutely not stuck with it.

Sunshine Holistic Therapy Anyone else running on fumes already this week?.....

I get it. Honestly, most of the women I see (me included) feel exactly the same.

And because you deserve more than just “pushing through”, this week you can win the treatment you choose, whether it’s easing pelvic pain, calming your frazzled nervous system, tackling that stabby back ache, or finally helping your legs feel light again.
