Wellness Wednesday | Healing Meals with Michelle 🥣🌿

Lunch today was simple, homemade, and doing exactly what it should.
🥕 Homemade vegetable soup – warming, nourishing, and easy on digestion
🧀 Cottage cheese stirred in – extra protein for satiety and muscle support
🎃 Pumpkin seeds on top – zinc, magnesium, and healthy fats for recovery and energy
This is what supportive eating looks like.
Not fancy. Not restrictive. Just food that works with your body.
Sometimes the most healing meals are the simplest ones 💛

What a fabulous day!

Another Emmett workshop wrapped up and what a brilliant group it was 🙌
There was laughter, plenty of “wow!” moments, and more than a few “OMG… I did that!” reactions when techniques clicked into place. That’s the bit I love seeing confidence grow right in front of me.
We had focused learning, hands-on practice, and some fantastic results by the end of the day. And of course… Storm popped in to make sure standards were being maintained 🐾 Supervision was clearly the order of the day (mainly in exchange for fuss).
Huge well done to everyone who attended you were fabulous.

If you’ve been thinking about learning the Emmett Technique, take this as your nudge. The results speak for themselves

Girls’ night out 💕
Swapped treatment room lighting for stage lights tonight…
Out with my daughter watching Truely Collins at The Smile Bar and absolutely loving it! 🎤✨
There’s something very special about standing next to your grown-up daughter, singing along (badly), laughing, and just being present. No clients, no timetables, no to-do list. Just music and memories.
Work hard, yes.
But don’t forget to clock off and live a little too.
Who else makes time for proper mum & daughter nights? 💗

✨ Therapy Thursday Let’s Talk Scars ✨
This week I’m focusing on Scar Therapy… and yes, I’ll be showing an abdominal scar.
Most people think once a scar has healed on the surface, that’s job done. It isn’t.
Scar tissue can:
• Restrict movement
• Pull on surrounding fascia
• Create unexplained aches and pains
• Affect posture
• Even impact digestion if it’s abdominal
Whether it’s from a C-section, hysterectomy, appendix removal or any abdominal surgery, scars can continue to influence the body long after the stitches are gone.
Scar therapy isn’t about how it looks.
It’s about how it feels and how it functions.
If you’ve got an old abdominal scar that still feels tight, numb, lumpy, itchy or just “not right” don’t ignore it. Your body remembers.
Pop a ❤️ below if you’ve got a scar that’s more than just a line on the skin… and if you’re brave enough, tell me how old it is 👇

🥞 It’s Pancake Day… and I need to know something! 🥞
Also known as Shrove Tuesday… but let’s be honest, most of us are just here for the toppings.
So here’s the important question 👇
Are you:
A️⃣ Classic lemon & sugar – simple, no messing
B️⃣ Golden syrup – sticky fingers guaranteed
C️⃣ Chocolate spread – no judgement here
D️⃣ Fresh fruit & yoghurt – trying to behave
E️⃣ Savoury – cheese, ham, maybe even a bit of chilli
You MUST pick one. No sitting on the fence.
And if you’re one of those people who flips the pancake without fear… tell me your secret because mine usually ends up folded in half pretending that was the plan all along 😏
Comment your choice below ⬇️
Let’s see which topping wins!

A little real-life moment from last week…
Last week, one of the regular gym goers mentioned her lower back was playing up on a particular machine. Nothing dramatic, just that familiar “it’s been annoying me for a while” comment. I treated her there and then using just three Emmett moves. No fuss. I stood her up… 💥bish 💥bash 💥bosh suddenly her lower back was moving far more freely.
Fast forward to this week.
Her husband quietly pulled me to one side and said thank you. Apparently, his wife hadn’t complained about her back once all weekend and that, by his account, was unheard of.
Sometimes it doesn’t take long sessions or complicated work.
It takes the right touch, in the right place, at the right
The body does the rest.

This one’s proof that healing meals can still have a bit of fire 🔥
🌶 Pork mince chilli with mixed beans – protein to keep you full, fibre to support digestion
🥑 Guacamole – healthy fats for satiety and blood sugar balance
🌽 Corn on the cob – fibre, energy, and a bit of joy on the plate
🌽 Tortilla chips – because restriction helps no one
Real food. Proper flavour. No diet nonsense.
Meals that satisfy and support the body — not beige diet food or sad salads.
Healing meals should feel good and taste good.
