In case you have wondered what I do when I am in Brighton. I have been on hand to help the next group of specialists enter the field of pain relief. This week they had their final practical exam, where all their hard work over the year was put to the test! They all passed and this culminated in their graduation ceremony. Some of them will end their leaning here, which is specialist enough, but a few will go on to do the next two years of this degree level course.

I presented my research study to them too, which has rekindled my inspiration. With so much positive feedback from everyone.

I feel extremely proud to be a part of Jing Institute of Massage & Complementary Medicine. And even more proud that I have been one of their BTEC 6 students. It's not easy, but it's worth it!

To find out more about what we do, or about my research into supporting families with neurodivergent children, feel to contact me.

Love as always xx

Hi! I'm Natalie ☺️ A level 6 Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage Therapist.

I specialise in helping families with neurodiverse children, supporting parents who feel like they are one school run away from their very own meltdown, and feel like if getting out of bed tomorrow was an option, they may well skip it. I help parents who feel like their body is one pick up from falling down. Because you've been in pain for so long and no one knows why. All you want is some support. Someone to listen, and someone to care about you!

I am a provider of specialist massage, nervous system reset, and stretching and strengthening (rehab). And I work with you, to help ease/manage your pain and burnout symptoms.

Having a treatment with me is that perfect blend between clinical expertise and holistic wellness. I work with intent, based on research and an in-depth consultation with you. Have you been to a physio and thought "that was so painful, but I guess no pain no gain'. Or you've been to a spa and thought 'well, it's very relaxing, but didn't really hit the spot'?

What if you could have a blend? A treatment that focuses on you as a whole. A treatment that signals safety, but is also effectively treating your symptoms? Someone that can give you expert massage as well as strengthening and stretching exercises to empower your at-home care?

That's where I come in. At Ascension Massage Therapy I help you get the care you need, in a way that is safe for your body.

When "Holding it Together" Becomes Physically Painful
Meet Claire. On the outside, she’s a powerhouse. She navigates a high-stress career and manages a household with additional needs. But on the inside? Claire was white-knuckling her way through every day.
By the time she reached my clinic, the "stress" had found a permanent home in her jaw.
Before:
😣 Intense jaw pain, difficulty swallowing, and a constant, thrumming exhaustion.
😵‍💫 She was relying on Botox injections just to function, but she hated the idea of needing them forever.
🫩After months on waiting lists, Claire felt abandoned by the system. She didn’t just need a treatment; she needed someone to actually listen to how the pain was stealing her patience.
😴 By late afternoon, the combination of work stress and physical throb meant she had nothing left in the tank for her family.

After 6 weeks: Reclaiming the Calm
☺️The jaw pain subsided so significantly that Claire no longer felt the need for Botox.
🤩Instead of stress "locking" her body, she now has a toolkit of strategies to release tension before it becomes a migraine or a clenched jaw.
💪Better sleep and less pain meant she stopped feeling "wired and tired." She’s eating better, sleeping deeper, and finally feels like she is in control of her body—not the other way around.
"I feel equipped. I'm not just managing the pain anymore; I'm managing my life." — Claire

The blessings of a JING TOTO!

The Teaching-One-To-One program at JING brings many blessing with it. One of my most favourite was the first Zoom today to welcome the newest ACMT cohort. Listening to some of the reasons these therapists have chosen to embark on their Advanced Clinical Massage Therapist journey springs back memories of when I made that decision.
🙌To join the elite!
🪬The excitement about making clinically assessed decisions and form treatment plans to help people out of persistent/chronic pain
🔥Feeling of being ignited! JING truly inspires the joy of learning.

She is completely relaxed! Love the look on her face. As soon as you feel that deep exhale, you know they have let the world go. Forgotten about school, about homework, and just letting their own nervous system pause!

Sharing some of the five star google reviews I've had 😊

Thank you for this lovely review! It has been incredibly interesting and eye opening to speak with some of the mums of neurodivergent children, and often neurodivergent themselves. I am so grateful for your time!
