🎗️ This Menopause Awareness Month (the Breast Cancer Awareness Month), let’s talk about something often overlooked — treatment-induced menopause.

For many cancer survivors, menopause doesn’t arrive naturally — it’s brought on suddenly through treatment. 💛

That’s where Menopause and Cancer step in. They’re the only non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting people of all ages, diagnoses, and symptoms whose menopause has been affected by cancer treatment.

Their mission?
To share evidence-based information and empower individuals to manage their menopause symptoms effectively, with compassion and understanding.

🌟 They provide education, advocacy, and community for those navigating two major life challenges at once — cancer recovery and menopause.

💜 This Menopause Awareness Month, let’s celebrate and support the vital work they do.

Treatment Tuesday! 🌈 Kinesiology

Building on yesterday's post about mind-body connection, lets talk more about our thoughts and the impact upon the body.

Thoughts are tangible entities composed of chemicals and protein.
Constantly focusing on negative thoughts can strengthen and reinforce them, create long term memories and trigger a toxic stress response, which manifests as dysfunction, restrictions and chronic pain in your body. 🤨

'What we think about actually grows' 🌳

Every bit of our brain chemistry impacts every cell in our body! A healthy mind is essential for a healthy body 💪

What thoughts do you give power to?

Pay attention to your thoughts throughout the day and jot down your top 5.
Take a moment to reflect on them
Are they negative thoughts?
How do they make you feel - stressed, anxious, miserable etc.
Where do you feel it in your body?
Is it where you feel pain/discomfort
What form does it take on, Is it heavy, what shape is it, what colour is it, what texture etc

In functional Kinesiology, we guide you through releasing emotional tension by using these techniques. It is referred to as ESR (emotional stress release)

In Functional Kinesiology, we consider emotions as one of the 7 factors of the invertebratebral foramina. These 7 factors ensure that a muscle is functioning optimally. If any of these factors is missing, the muscle will not respond correctly.

Kinesiology helps maintain your body's equilibrium, ensuring your well-being by keeping your nervous system in optimal condition, so that you can function better.

MINDFUL MONDAY!

" your body hears everything your mind says" 💥

Start your week with three deep breaths. Notice where you're holding tension: awareness is the first step in healing.🫶

Alternatively consider a massage, a dedicated time where your can simply be in the present moment on my massage table, allowing you to connect with your body,
💆‍♀️
Tension becomes more obvious with each touch, revealing restrictions, discomfort, pain and emotional reactions that often go unnoticed in daily life until you take this time to pause and check in with yourself. 🌈

Are you living with a scar from cancer surgery? 🎗️

I'm currently looking for a few amazing individuals to take part in reduced-cost scar therapy session. These are gentle, non-invasive treatments designed to support healing and comfort after surgery.🫂

In return, I ask for your consent to use before and after photos of your scar to help raise awareness about how effective this therapy can be. All images (no faces) will b e handled with the utmost respect and care, and nothing will be shared without your full approval.

You will need to attend a few sessions to allow me to track your progress. (newer scars respond quicker)💥

If you or someone you know might be interested, please send me a message, I'd love to answer any questions.

Thank you for helping others discover what's possible in healing.

It's not normal to ache, to feel tight, to have stiffness or difficulty moving our bodies!

Day to day life and stresses can cause tiny micro tears within the muscle fibres causing inflammation.

Massage relaxes contracted muscle fibres by improving blood flow, breaks down adhesions aids in the removal of metabolic waste, it targets the connective tissue surrounding muscle fibres allowing these fibres to slide and glide smoothly against each other.

Regular Massage not only supports healthy muscle fibres but also enhances overall muscular function and performance as well as encouraging relaxation.

I know I always feel fantastic after a massage, it also enhances my awareness of my body. During a session I become more attuned to where I feel those restrictions and sore achy muscles. The soothing environment and expert touch create a sense of relaxation and rejuvenation, reminding me of the importance of self-care and the benefits it brings to my overall well being.

Massage is the key to unlocking stress and restoring balance - appointments available this week 🧘‍♀️ Contact me to book a time.

Start the week strong! 💪

Here's some inspiration to get you going. 😀

I am going to focus on Number 2.

I am hesitant posting about myself and my business, especially when I am unsure of what to say. I was given advice that potential clients probably want to know more about who I am before they book a massage with me. 🫶

Therefore I am going to embrace the process of sharing, connecting with you, and building trust, one post at a time. 😀 🫂
