Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mums. Today is your reminder that you deserve to feel cared for, supported, and absolutely radiant. 💐

I’m thrilled to share that, alongside our upcoming microneedling launch, two incredible Opatra London treatments are coming to My Wellness:
the Dermi Sonic 2 and the Synergy Marble Eye.

I’ve noticed a few fine lines appearing recently (as many of us do!), and I wanted something natural that actually works. The Synergy Marble Eye softened those lines in minutes — the difference was immediate, and the results felt beautifully natural.

These treatments are gentle, effective, and perfect for anyone wanting a fresh, lifted, brighter look without anything invasive.

Spaces for the launch are limited — if you’d like to be one of the first to experience them, message me to reserve your spot.

The HO-1 Enzyme Miracle and the healing technique of Gua Sha 🪨🩸

It looks like terrible bruising but it's actually a biological hack!
Gua sha is one of my favourite tools for releasing deep tension and restoring mobility. The marks it leaves can look dramatic, but they’re not bruises—they’re a natural response from the body as circulation increases and stagnant tissue begins to clear.

Petechiae Vs Bruising
What most people think of as a bruise comes from a strong impact that crushes tissue and causes deeper bleeding under the skin. Gua sha works very differently. When a smooth tool is moved repeatedly over well‑oiled skin, it creates controlled friction that encourages sluggish, deoxygenated blood from the deeper layers to rise toward the surface.

This results in tiny red or purple spots called petechiae—known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as sha. These marks aren’t caused by tissue damage. They’re a sign that stagnant metabolic waste is being brought up and cleared, rather than being trapped in the deeper layers of muscle and fascia.

When the light red or purple “sha” appears, your body boosts an enzyme called HO‑1, which plays a major role in calming inflammation and supporting tissue repair. This is why so many people feel a deep, lasting release after treatment—far beyond what gentle massage alone can reach.

Alongside the biochemical effects, gua sha helps loosen fascial adhesions, improve movement, and ease long‑held tightness from stress, posture, or repetitive strain.

If you’re curious about how this technique can support your pain, mobility, or overall wellbeing, I’m always happy to talk through whether it’s right for you.

🌿 Sciatica pain doesn’t always need to be treated at the site of discomfort. In Balance Method acupuncture, developed by Dr. Richard Tan, needles are placed in carefully chosen points on the shoulder to influence and relieve pain in the leg. This approach is based on the principle of meridian balancing, where one area of the body can be used to treat another. Known for its simplicity, consistency, and effectiveness, Balance Method acupuncture often provides immediate relief and reproducible results for patients. ✨

😱 OMG the bruising was bad, but the results were amazing 😍

Cupping and acupuncture for neck pain, this is a very common problem that a lot of people come to me with. Here is a sneak peak of what a treatment might look like if you were experiencing neck pain and you decided to come for treatment.

Some feedback shines so brightly it deserves to be shared. ❤️ Deeply grateful for these kind words 🙏😊"

People often ask how long cupping marks last—worried they’ll be stuck with bruises for weeks. But in most cases, they fade much faster than expected:
Also the style of cupping makes a difference in how much you bruise!

- Light marks: 2–4 days
- Moderate: 5–7 days
- Dark: up to 10 days (rarely 2 weeks for sensitive skin or strong suction)

🩸 Healing speed depends on:
Suction strength, circulation, hydration, nutrition (think vitamin C & iron), and aftercare.

💡 Want them gone faster?
Stay hydrated, apply warm compresses after 24 hours, use arnica or calendula oil, and avoid re-cupping the same spot too soon.

Here is a recent photo of one of my regulars—a photographer who struggles with shoulder tension—had deep purple marks after a little break from cupping. Three days later, she was in Crete, camera in hand and fulfilling a dream of the famous flying dress shoot for herself, and the marks had already vanished. 🪄

Ready to feel the difference for yourself? 🌿 Whether you're easing shoulder tension, boosting circulation, or just curious about cupping’s healing power, I’d love to support your journey.
