🌟 Massaging your C Section scar 🌟

Many mums leave hospital unsure what they should be doing with their scar. There is a lot of information online but not all of it is helpful!

I like to keep things really simple as I have found these work best.

Firstly you do not need expensive oils to massage the scar. Our bodies are able to heal wounds with time and we cannot rush this process.

What we can do is help our body heal by accepting the scar, showing it some love and allowing it some time.

We firstly need to desensitise the scar and the whole area and using a soft muslin is a great way of doing this.

Once we have done that we can work above and below the scar as in the video always supporting the scar as we go.

Once we feel comfortable with that and the scar is healed completely we can use the pads of our fingers on the scar almost like we are playing a piano, gently moving the fingers.

Always work without oil or creams initially and then follow up with something like Rosehip oil or wheatgerm oil both containing vitamin E and neither are expensive.

If you’re unsure of how to move forward with your scar, want a 1-1 session or want a treatment from me please book in and I can help you with this.

Often 1 session is enough and I always recommend leaving at least a month if not more between sessions to allow the body to take the treatment on board and the scar tissue to keep moving.

Recently I seem to have had so many lovely clients coming in and apologising for one thing and another.

Apologising for being a few minutes late and turning up frazzled

Apologising for not doing enough exercise to help them ‘bounce back’ (I hate using that phrase)

Apologising because their underwear doesn’t match or they forget to put ‘decent’ ones on

Apologising for having some extra weight they haven’t had time to lose yet

Apologising for not having the time to practise the rehab work I had set them, or watching the videos to prepare for a course

Apologising for being so tired because they had a disturbed nights sleep

Please remember when you enter my room you are not being judged in any way.

None whatsoever.

I have been through that time too and I still remember how it feels so I am always impressed that you have managed to get out of the house and what underwear you chose to wear doesn’t alter my treatment!

I am beyond happy you have decided to find some time for you and I will endeavour to make that time as special as I can for you

Please know that if you chose my room to have your cry, your moan or offload you will not be judged. You wont be the first and you wont be the last I’m sure! My room seems to have this affect sometimes and I see it as an honour that you feel able to share and feel comfortable enough to do so.

So please, know that you will be welcomed into my room and you have no need to make any apologies for anything…..we are who we are….all muddling along and trying to walk our path and remain sane!

🌟 Can you please help me? 🌟

Small businesses are struggling at the moment and I think things are going to get harder.

We are all having to cut back and budget and keeping me in your budget may not be a necessity any more and I understand that.

But if you want to support me and what I do you can help me in different ways which will help boost my viewings on social media and help me be ‘seen’.

Even a comment on a post is going to help someone else ‘see’ me. Sharing with friends and family will help. If you want to see everything I post click on the 3 dots top right hand corner and make me a favourite.

Thank you to each and every one of you who already does this and supports who I am and what I do. I couldn’t do this without support and I am so very grateful 🙏

🤱 How soon after giving birth can I have a massage?

Something I’m often asked by new mums. For a variety of reasons. So why would you want/need a massage after giving birth?

I have specialised in Pregnancy, Labour and Postnatal Massage. I have the qualifications and the experience to be able to provide treatment throughout this stage and as early as a Mother would like to receive it.

In some cultures women are massaged after giving birth with beautiful oils to soothe, nurture and treat the body. Easing any aches and pains and using the hands with the oils to calm and soothe the body after it’s hard work of labour.

During labour the body works hard to give birth....and even if the labour was a smooth and easy one, giving birth is called ‘labour’ as that’s what it is. The Mother has to work mentally, physically and emotionally and it can take its toll.

Post birth the levels of Oestrogen plummet within 24 hours to a similar level as that of Perimenopause and that can cause issues. Progesterone levels also drop, so the body is not only dealing with low levels but also an imbalance between the two. This can play havoc on the body.

We know that women can struggle with Postpartum depression, not helped by Progesterone being out of balance and anxiety or low mood can take hold.

Lack of oestrogen Postnatally can cause similar symptoms to the Menopause such as fatigue, irritability, vaginal dryness, night sweats, dry skin and achy joints. Our bodies can struggle physically, emotionally and mentally and yes a treatment can help as well as the time for calm, quiet and reassurance it can provide.

Having a massage at this stage is not a luxury and shouldn’t be seen as one.

Whether you have had a vaginal birth or an abdominal birth I will cater the treatment to your needs on that day after listening to how you are feeling. You are safe in my hands 🥰

🌟 Postnatal Massage 🌟

Giving a massage to a Mother who has given birth whether recently or several years ago is absolutely not just another massage.

I take into account what her pregnancy was like, her labour, her 4th trimester and piece it together to give her the session she needs physically and emotionally.

I am not trying to help this Mother return to the woman she was because she will never be that person. After each birth we grow a little seeing the world through different eyes, having experienced something no one else will experience in exactly the same way and it reshapes us all! Physically and emotionally.

But this session is about resetting, reshaping and growing and supporting this Mother in whatever way she needs to do this ❣️

This time last week I started my first Pregnancy Massage training and I’m so happy with how it went. Both therapists told me the course “didn’t disappoint” and that meant a lot to me ❤️

This is an advanced Pregnancy training over 4 days working with pregnant women to really learn how to make a difference in helping them with pain but also helping them make more space in their pelvis by working with restrictions.

If you’re already pregnancy massage trained and want to upskill and really help women with their pain then this course is ideal for you.

I am going to run a 2 day course for massage therapists to learn how to give an amazing relaxing massage so watch this space….

Also on the agenda is Postnatal massage. Let’s support these women to either help them with postnatal issues or offer them some quiet time away and be nurtured ❣️

🤰 Pregnancy pain & discomfort

Niggles, discomfort and pain is the body’s way of telling us something isn’t right.

Contrary to popular belief you DO NOT have to be in pain in pregnancy! Pain is not normal or part of pregnancy.

This lovely client came in with pain and on assessing her I could see how she was leaning off to one side which is evident in the photo.

I worked fascially with her in a variety of ways as well as working with some gentle stretches, working slowly to ease the fascia.

Post session you can see the difference and she felt the difference as soon as she stood up.

Don’t sit and accept pain! Let’s get this sorted and allow your baby more space which gives them the opportunity to move down into the pelvis in a more optimal way ❣️

Book a ‘Pregnancy balancing’ session and let’s get you back to feeling your best and enjoying your pregnancy.

If you’re a Massage Therapist or Pregnancy massage Therapist and want to learn these techniques join one of my courses. Pregnancy pain is not normal and our clients deserve to have the best treatment!

I’m asked this question a lot, so thought I would make it a little clearer.

My absolute love is working with women who may be going through either:

• discomfort
• pain
• a need to find some quiet time for them
• questions about the stage of life they are in
• wanting to understand their body more
• prioritising themselves ❣️

My life journey has equipped me with experience and I’ve attended so many courses that my ‘toolbox’ to support you is a large one! Even now I never stop learning and wanting to know more to be able to help my clients.

So yes I don’t just treat pregnant and postnatal women! I love to work with women who want to help themselves and make some changes. This is my goal ☺️

Anyone else found September tough this year?

I’m here and I’m going through the motions but I’m definitely not running on a full battery with a clear head 🤷‍♀️

The pressure to ‘be’ to ‘achieve’ to ‘perform’ to ‘cope’ has felt hard and those crazy voices haven’t helped!! If you received my newsletter you will see my need to make sure we all find the time to find ‘us’.

I will be back but I need to find my groove again. And I will….❣️
