Scar tissue can affect the body in ways many people don’t realise.

As part of my ongoing CPD, I recently assisted on a Restore Scar Therapy practitioner course while continuing to deepen my own learning.

Scar therapy has become an important part of my work. I regularly support people with C-section scars, post-operative scars such as hip or knee replacements, and older historic scars that may still be creating restriction in the body.

Scars don’t just affect the skin, they can influence the fascial system, which connects and supports movement throughout the body. When fascia becomes restricted, it can sometimes affect posture, movement and even breathing patterns. Which I commonly notice.

Gently working with scar tissue and surrounding fascia can help restore mobility and support the body’s natural movement.

I truly love what I do and I’m always amazed by what the body can achieve with the right support.

Showing up as yourself isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it.

I’ve been thinking a lot about authenticity and connection lately. The two feel deeply linked.

The most meaningful connection doesn’t come from trying to fit in. It comes from showing up as you really are. Unfiltered. Not driven by fear of judgement, but by trust that the right people will recognise what’s aligned.

Now, in my 50s, I feel like I’m only just fully stepping into that. It’s taken life, growth, mistakes, and a lot of reflection.

Like many of us, I’ve known rejection. Not fitting. Being misunderstood. Not chosen. Even in business, competition has never sat well with me. I don’t believe we’re here to compete. I believe we’re here to bring our own individuality forward.

When people feel safe enough to be fully themselves, something shifts. The energy changes. Trust grows. Creativity opens up. That’s when something real happens.

Authenticity doesn’t mean everyone stays.
It means the right people do.
And that kind of connection is powerful.

What does authenticity look like for you right now?

The Importance of Myofascial Release for Jaw, Neck, Shoulder Pain & Headaches

During the winter months, I see a noticeable rise in jaw tension, neck pain, shoulder discomfort and headaches.

We naturally move less, sit more, and spend longer in sustained positions, at desks, on phones, or indoors and the body adapts to these patterns, especially during periods of prolonged stress.

Many of these symptoms are linked to restriction through the myofascial system, particularly the frontal fascial line, running from the jaw and throat, through the sternum, rib cage, thorax, diaphragm and hip flexors.

This front line can become shortened and guarded, not only due to posture, but also through long-held protective holding patterns. Over time, the body subtly closes, breath becomes restricted, and tension accumulates.

When I work with these presentations, I take a whole-body approach, releasing through the fascial line while supporting rib mobility and diaphragmatic breathing.

This helps to:

✨ reduce jaw, neck and shoulder strain and pain
✨ ease headaches
✨ improve breath capacity
✨ support nervous system regulation
✨ encourage a more open, upright posture

By allowing the body to soften and release old holding patterns, it’s able to adapt into a more balanced, supported state, with results that last.

Exciting news!

From January 16th, I will be joining Shropshire Health Clinic, a CQC-registered, private GP-led centre that brings together both clinical and holistic practitioners under one roof.

Led by Dr. Serena Jones, the clinic’s integrated, evidence-informed approach aligns beautifully with my own values: combining high-quality medical care with a holistic ethos.

This is a wonderful opportunity to bring my compassionate, person-centred, multimodal approach to more clients, supporting those with chronic pain and helping them explore options to feel better in their bodies.

Every session I offer is unique, guided by clinical knowledge and intuition, responsive to what a client presents on the day, and informed by a broader biopsychosocial understanding of pain.

My Fridays will be spent at Shropshire Health Clinic, collaborating with clients and fellow health professionals to provide truly personalised care.

DM me for appointments or enquiries, I’d love to hear from you!

I’m looking forward to expanding my work in a setting that fully supports this integrated approach, helping clients move towards better function, recovery, health, and quality of life.

Very grateful to everyone I’ve met on my journey so far..! Thank you ❤️

Pain isn’t just part of life.

Pain is something many people learn to live with.

With many years of experience I work with musculoskeletal pain using a clinical myofascial and person centred approach.

I don’t just look at symptoms, I look at the whole picture.

Pain can be complex and requires a multifaceted approach.

DM me to book an appointment or ask any questions.

Yesterday, I received this review that genuinely moved me. (Full review below) The past few years, both personally and professionally, have been a period of deep growth and transformation.

Hearing feedback like this is a reminder of why that journey has been so important.

Seeing someone’s mobility, pain levels, and overall quality of life improve is something I never take for granted. I feel deeply grateful for the trust my clients place in me and for the privilege of supporting people at such a meaningful level.

One quote from Mel Robbins has stayed with me this week and perfectly captures this chapter of my life:

“You are one decision away from a completely different life.”

I’ve been lucky to train with exceptional tutors and therapists, particularly through and , and I’m always learning. Even after 25 years in massage, I’m still amazed by the impact clinical and therapeutic bodywork can have.

That decision, to keep growing, keep training, and keep showing up for myself and my clients has led me a profession and a life I absolutely love.

Full review - Thank you Rach, your incredible ❤️

“I met Gill in September when she came to our reunion to give us all a well needed massage. I am so glad I booked a treatment.
I shared my woes with Gill. Primarily a very sore hip and back. I had a total hip replacement 10 years ago and I have had aches and pains in my hip and back ever since. I have had numerous massages and various holistic therapies. None of which have resolved my aches. Fast forward to today and my 4th clinical & sports massage treatment. My hip is more mobile, and I am pretty much pain free in my lower back and hip and my planter fasciitis has gone. Absolutely amazing. I have followed Gills advice and guidance and incorporated some strength training to compliment the treatments.

Gill is a remarkable therapist and has magic hands. Thank you so much.”

This session demonstrates the integration of Advanced Clinical Massage, Postnatal Massage, and Caesarean Scar Therapy (12 weeks post-surgery) to support postnatal recovery and restore functional movement.

The focus is on addressing:

• Lower back pain
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Restricted breathing and rib cage mobility
• Scar tissue tightness and fascial restrictions
• Core instability and Diastasis Recti assessment

By combining targeted clinical techniques with restorative postnatal care, this approach promotes effective recovery, improved posture, and a reduction in pain and discomfort

Goals of the treatment session:

• Assess and treat musculoskeletal dysfunction related to childbirth and surgery
• Address scar tissue and myofascial restriction and tightness
• Restore natural breathing patterns
• Restore range of movement in the spine, hips, and abdomen
• Reduce tension patterns that limit movement and strength
• Support safe progression back into gym and fitness routines
• Relieve neck, shoulder and back pain
