👩‍🍼Navigating Motherhood 🤱

Our 6 week Postntal course specifically to support Mums through a time that can be hard, lonely and where you can question everything you do!

This course will support you through this stage and answer questions you may have but also provide that much needed ‘village’ of other mums going through the stage at the same time. These friendships last, as they are made at a time when they are most needed.

This is week one of our course where the mums were very open and spoke about their pregnancy and birth journey. A space to share emotions where no one judges just listens.

Our next course starts:

⏰ November 5th at 10:30
📍Little Therapy Space Olney
🤱Suitable from birth to approx 6 months

We would love you to join us!

What if we held the Mother first?

What if, when we asked her how she is we gave her the time to give us her answer and we had the time to sit and listen and absorb her words..

What if we acknowledged the experience she has been through and gave her the space to be able to focus on what has just happened to her physically, emotionally and mentally.

This is my dream for all women. To feel held, listened to, supported, acknowledged, and worthy ❤️

This is what Navigating Motherhood is about. This is what every Mother needs and deserves.

I would love any Mother who would like to join the course but cannot for financial reasons to message me confidentially so I can offer her a space.

How was your 4th Trimester? Did you feel supported? Please let me know….

S C A R S and their ripple effect.......

I was trying to explain to a client how a scar can have effects which ripple across the body and those effects can be felt above, below and to the sides of that scar. Then take into account that majority of scars aren’t just surface layer scars but actually go into the deeper layers of soft tissue too we can then start to see why the effects can be sometimes quite extreme! That surface scar may look beautiful but your ni**le or pain in your neck or shoulder may be caused by the fascial restrictions coming from your C Section scar!

Fascia is a connective tissue which is found throughout the body from head to toe. It’s all-encompassing and woven like a web supporting and protecting our muscles and organs. However it can become sticky for a variety of reasons and when torn or cut it can become stuck to other areas and this can cause restrictions. These restrictions can be felt throughout the body. These photos hopefully help as a visual aid. The first one represents fascia sitting within the body. The second one represents the ‘pull’ that can be made from a scar. The epicentre will be the scar itself and the pull reaches out far and wide. Where the creases are, indicate a possible ‘pull’ so you can see how far and wide the effects may go!

Any effects from this scar cannot be assumed but need to be skilfully assessed before then treating the body as a whole. Not just the scar but all the possible little ripples than fan out from the scar itself.

For more information or to have your scar assessed please do get in contact!

🌟 C Section scar tissue massage 🌟

This is a session where everyone walks away amazed at the difference one session can make.

Scar tissue around the scar can cause an ‘over hang’ or ‘shelf’ that some women find really difficult to deal with.

It’s not caused by fat or anything you have done.

Scar tissue can also cause puckering, dimpling, a pulling sensation or even pain. This session is ideal for all of that.

Women feel a difference as soon as the session is finished and they feel the scar and surrounding area and even when they stand and walk.

I will show you how to complete your own self massage and areas that need different help. This may include stretches, breathing exercises or massage itself.

Not sure if this is for you?

Send me a message and we can discuss it!

🤰Wondering which pregnancy massage to book?

👀Have a look through….the most important thing is booking the correct amount of time and the rest we can work around!

I will always do a consultation before we start and one of my questions is “How do you want to feel when you leave my room? Out of pain, relaxed or a mix of both?” This allows me to cater the session for you and you alone. No 2 massages will ever be the same as I always work with how you present on the day.

🌟 Why choose me? Because I can safely say there isn’t anyone as experienced or as qualified or who offers such an holistic approach to treating pregnant and postnatal women and this is what makes me stand out and this is what helps me get my results ❤️

🎓I am now training professional massage therapists because I want all women to be able to be treated holistically….not a number, not just a client and you deserve the best treatment at this precious stage of life ❣️

Questions I often get asked about having a session post C Section delivery.

If you have any questions at all please ask. I want to take the fear out of these sessions. I often have mums fall asleep during them. They are not painful and not invasive.

Have I missed anything out? Do you have any questions you would like to ask?

Pop a question in the comments and look out for my free C section Recovery pack coming soon!

🌟 C section scar massage 🌟

I don’t often share ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos as those of you who know me well know I don’t like it!

The only reason I took this ‘after’ photo was to show my client that now we can see the scar as her tummy had lifted up off it once the scar tissue was treated. She very kindly sent me the before photo that she took last month to show the difference it had made!

I have permission from this lovely mum to share this photo with you all in the hope that it may help some of you realise what a difference just one session can make.

The fascia and scar tissue will keep moving now for several weeks so it will improve more and she now knows how to massage and treat it herself. If she needs more work done in a months time she can come back and have a shorter session.

For anyone frightened that it will hurt, it truly doesn’t. I go slowly and gently and often have to wake mums up as they become so relaxed.

This is a session I love doing because you can see how much difference it can make to my client from an aesthetic point of view as well as a physical one.
Sometimes scars cause tugs and pulls and sometimes they just don’t feel nice to touch or look at. I want to help you love your scar and your body again ❣️

Do you have a question about scar massage or have you had a treatment with me and have some wise words for other mums you want to share?

Welcome to April and hopefully the start of some warmer weather!

It’s the 1st, so as always here’s my gentle reminder to check your breasts, your v***a and your body. Get to know your normal so you are aware of any changes immediately.

Happy April to you all ❣️

April is C Section Awareness Month....

I have some topics I want to discuss and focus on but I’m wondering what are your thoughts?

Did you have a C Section? Was it planned? Was it an emergency?

How do you feel about your scar now? Can you touch it? Do you massage it? Does it bother you?

Do you have any advice for other women?

I have heard so many different stories but would love to hear some more....
