What is Grief Support Massage?

Grief lives in the body.

It doesn’t just show up as tears — it often arrives as tight shoulders, chronic fatigue, a heavy chest, or a nervous system stuck on high alert.

Grief Support Massage is a gentle, intentional approach to bodywork that acknowledges the emotional weight we carry — especially in times of loss, transition, or overwhelm.

This kind of massage is not about “fixing” or rushing you through your process.
It’s about creating a calm, grounded space for your body to feel safe again.
It’s where your sorrow, numbness, confusion or silence are all welcomed — without needing to be explained.

At Thula Thul’, grief support means: ✨ Slow, nurturing touch
✨ Safe space to fully exhale
✨ Time — no rush, no pressure
✨ Nervous system care
✨ Optional use of essential oils and grounding tools
✨ Room for you to just be

Whether you’re navigating the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, burnout, or any kind of deep life shift — your body deserves softness.

You don’t need to be “ready.”
You just need a moment to rest.

Grief Support Massage holds that moment for you.

Based at Truwellness Centre, 15 Lourensford Road, Somerset West.

By appointment only.

Have you ever woken up and still felt tired?

Not just sleepy… but deeply drained — like your body hasn’t caught up with your life.
Where no amount of rest seems to make a dent.

You’re not lazy.
You’re not imagining it.
You could be experiencing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) — a complex, often misunderstood condition that affects energy, concentration, nervous system function, and overall quality of life.

🌫 Symptoms may include:

• Persistent fatigue, even after sleep
• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
• Muscle aches and joint pain
• Dizziness or light-headedness when standing
• Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells
• Sleep that doesn’t feel restorative
• Emotional overwhelm or depression

CFS isn’t “just tiredness.” It’s a nervous system imbalance, often tied to trauma, immune dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, or prolonged stress.

🌿 What can help?

While there’s no single cure, gentle supportive practices can make a world of difference:

• Massage therapy to soothe the nervous system
• Lymphatic support to reduce inflammation
• Grounding techniques to bring the body into regulation
• Restorative rituals — slow walks, warm baths, quiet time
• Validating your experience — you're not alone, and your body is asking to be heard

If you’ve been living with invisible exhaustion, know that your body is trying its best to protect you. And that there is support available.

💛 At Thula Thul’, you are met exactly where you are.
No pressure, no pretending. Just care, in its truest form.

🧠 What Is the Occipital Hollow?

The occipital hollow is the soft, curved area just below the base of your skull — where your neck meets your head.
It may be small, but it plays a big role in both physical and emotional wellbeing.

🔍 Why It Matters:

1. Nervous System Reset Point
This area is home to pressure points that influence the vagus nerve, which regulates stress, digestion, heart rate, and mood.

2. Headache Relief
Tension in this area often contributes to tension headaches, eye strain, and neck pain.

3. Emotional Storage
The occipital hollow is where the body tends to store mental fatigue, overstimulation, and the emotional pressure of “holding it all together.”

4. Sleep & Hormonal Support
Releasing tension here can support melatonin production and help rebalance the nervous and endocrine systems — improving sleep and emotional regulation.

✋ What You Might Notice:

Clenching or tightness at the back of your neck

Headaches that start at the base of the skull

Difficulty relaxing or “dropping into your body”

A strong emotional response when touched in this area

💆‍♀️ How Massage Helps:

Therapeutic touch to the occipital hollow:

Releases physical tension

Calms the nervous system

Increases circulation to the brain

Offers a deep sense of emotional relief

It’s one of the areas I work with great care — because when this point softens, everything else begins to follow.

We love a client feedback moment 🤍

1) Apply a body cream every day, in upwards strokes, towards the heart - none of that rubbing up and down. This will support your lymphatic, as well as your circulatory system. Meaning... feeling less puffy. 👌♥️ AND THAT IS ALWAYS A WIN.

2) Lift your legs - lifting your legs at the end of the day, is not only a sign of a good days work, but it's also deeply important for your heart. Raising your legs above your heart, allows your heart to work at this optimal. Lifting your legs could mean, placing them on the top of the sofa while watch your favourite binge- worthy series.

3) PAT DRY EVERYTHING, I am not sure who taught us it was okay to absolutely grate our skin off when we dry ourselves with a towel. 🤣 be gentle with yourself, please... this slows down aging, for real.
Pat your skin lovingly as your dry your body, face and even your hair. We are not made for vicious friction.

Incorporating these simple changes into your life everyday, consistently, there is no doubt that you will begin to feel the difference. ♥️

Your body will thank you.

Gently,
Jomaine xx

🍄 Meal of the Week
Creamy Mushroom Risotto

A soothing, earthy bowl of goodness — perfect for colder days, nervous system support, or a quiet night in.

Ingredients:
🍄 1½ cups Risotto rice
🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
🧅 1 small onion or shallot, finely chopped
🍄 2–3 cups mixed mushrooms (brown, portobello, oyster)
🧈 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
🌿 Fresh thyme or rosemary
🧂 Salt & black pepper
🥣 1 litre warm veggie stock
🥛 Optional: splash of cream or k**b of butter at the end
🧀 Optional: grated parmesan or nutritional yeast

Instructions:

1. In a deep pan, sauté onion and garlic in butter until soft.

2. Add mushrooms and herbs. Cook until golden and fragrant.

3. Stir in Risotto rice and toast for 1–2 mins.

4. Add warm stock slowly, 1 ladle at a time, stirring gently and allowing each ladle to absorb before adding the next.

5. Keep stirring for 20–25 minutes until rice is creamy and tender.

6. Finish with a splash of cream or extra butter. Add salt, pepper, and cheese if using.

Why we love it:

Mushrooms are grounding, rich in nutrients, and great for nervous system regulation. Stirring risotto becomes a meditative ritual — a way to slow down and be present.

🍽 Gentle nourishment for body and mind.

🌿 Let’s Talk Sciatica!

Ever had that dull ache in your lower back that creeps down your bum, into the back of your leg, and just won’t go away?

That could be sciatica — and it’s more common than you think.

What is sciatica?

Sciatica isn’t a condition on its own — it’s a word we use to describe pain or discomfort caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in your body.

It runs from your lower back, through your bum, and all the way down your legs.

What does it feel like?

🔹 A deep ache in one buttock
🔹 Tingling or burning down the leg
🔹 Pain when sitting or driving
🔹 A heavy, tired feeling in your hips or thighs
🔹 Stiffness or tightness when you wake up

What helps?

✨ Massage — Gently working through the lower back, hips, and glutes can ease the pressure on the nerve
✨ Stretching — Even 2–3 minutes a day of mindful movement helps
✨ Breathwork — Deep breathing calms the nervous system and invites your body to soften
✨ Rest + Heat — You don’t have to push through it. Sometimes, your body just needs warmth and permission to pause

At Thula Thul’, I create space for you to breathe again.
Every session is designed around what your body is asking for.
If sciatica is part of your story — let’s help your body write a gentler chapter.
