...That's a wrap from me in the massage space for 2024!

Thank you to each and every one of you who has come in for a massage (or 10), recommended me to their friends and family, bought a gift voucher or written me a gorgeous review, I appreciate you all.

This year marks 10 years since I hung up my corporate attire, donated *most* of my high heels and moved into a new path. One that has allowed me to support thousands of members, and tap into so many things that bring me joy. I never knew how much I would love this new direction but from the moment I began my training, felt instantly grounded!

Thank you for entrusting me with your aches and pains 😉 your stories and your triumphs.

I welcomed an incredible amount of new members this year, supported first time Mums through to Mums welcoming baby number 5, welcoming back lots of members who I hadn't seen for months or even years (thanks for remembering me), plus met lots of adorable new beautiful babies 👶

I introduced cupping a few months ago, a new technique to support my members and have already had some amazing results which has been incredibly rewarding.

I always comment that I hope to show up more in this space the following year, so I won't promise that next year, but will try my best to bring you some fun and educational content 😉

This Christmas look after each other. Check in on your friends, family and neighbours.

Yesterday, myself alongside Dr Janice from The Spine Studio Warwick and Bec from All Heart Hypnobirthing held our first Empowered Pregnancy workshop with some parents to be and Mums expecting their next bubbas!

I feel so lit up not only hearing from two very talent women but being able to share my own knowledge and experience when it comes to feeling empowered during pregnancy emotionally and physically. It also took me back to my own learnings and memories of my chiro appointments (especially the one when I went in for an adjustment in the early stages of labour) and my own hypnobirthing VBAC!

A big thank you to those who attended for your questions, generally conversation and allowing us to hold space as well as provide some education and support.

We are looking forward to running another one so please feel free to reach out if you would like any more information.

For any information relating to Chiropractic Care during your pregnancy please reach out to: Dr Janice .spine.studio.warwick

And for any support on Pregnancy or Postpartum Massage or Postpartum Planning please feel free to message me 😀

Rumbling Tummy!

Have you ever noticed whether or not you have recently eaten your tummy starts to rumble during your massage? Did you know this is actually a positive response that your body is having to “slowing down”.

Our bodies have two nervous systems - our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. You may have also heard these referred to as fight or flight (sympathetic) or rest and digest (parasympathetic)?

Unfortunately, we spend more of our time in flight or flight mode, meaning that we are often living in a survival mode. This is great if we are faced with a stand off with a tiger for example but not for elongated periods.

When you come in for a massage especially when its to manage stress, one of the main goals is to help you move into your parasympathetic response. When your tummy starts to rumble that's a good indication you are moving into rest and digest.

So next time your tummy rumbles during a massage, please don't apologise, know that your body is doing exactly what it needs to do.
