A Rebozo is a Mexican word for a handwoven shawl, which i use in
✨️Closing the Bones ceremonies

How are you feeling after having your baby?
Not the polite “I’m fine” answer—the real one! 😁
Postpartum can be exhausting, overwhelming - emotionally and physically a lot to carry.
I support women through pregnancy, postpartum, and the years of growing a family—helping you feel better in your body, calmer in your mind, and more steady emotionally.
Through hands-on treatments like massage and restorative work, I create space for you to slow down, release tension, and actually be looked after for a change.
I can visit in you own home or you can come to me for
✨️ tailored postpartum massage
✨️ C-section scar massage
✨️ manual lymphatic drainage
✨️ Closing the Bones ceremonies
☆ Postpartum recovery pack - 4 x 90 minute sessions including soft tissue, bodywork, breath, movement for recovery
You don’t have to push through it on your own.

Is there someone in your life who cares for you and those around you?
Yes Mother's day is coming up, on 18th March. Let's call it appreciation for the nurturers?
Perhaps youre the one who needs some caring? Or is it your friend, partner, daughter son or boss who needs some nurturing back at them?
A bespoke treatment is 90 minutes and tailored to your needs on the day, using any techniques from my repertoire - think soft relaxation with muscle precision, sound bowls and aromatic oils - ot whatever combo suits.
I have openings on the Saturdays 14th & 21st and throughout that week.
Let's show some appreciation 😘

If you need a stretch out, I have a few FREE classes available on my website. Give them a go! There's a link in my bio
I like to think that regardless of the words spoken, you can sense my approach to my work - friendly calm and so you always FEEL at home, un-rushed and relaxed in my therapy room.
I always take time to listen to what's going on for you, as sometimes its not just the muscle itself that is causing the problem.
LISTENING is a great skill for a massage therapist.
As is OBSERVATION and the not-said, the mannerisms and energy of a person.
If this resonates, do get in touch or take a look at my website link in bio
Dont forget, as a new clients you can do get 15% off your first treatment using the code NEWBIE15.

Pregnancy massages should always feel safe and supported... i remember 21 years ago (🙀 I know its hard to believe🤣), I had one and felt so ill and fainty mid massage - my therapist obviously didn't have much understanding of typical pregnancy symptoms and safe protocol. Like you, I expected them to know...
You'll be pleased to know i take massage seriously!
Lying on your side will
✨️fully support your belly, protecting uterine ligaments and maintaining healthy circulation for both parent and baby.
✨️ease pressure on the low back and pelvis, creating more comfort rather than more strain.
✨️allow me to work effectively on the areas that often hold the most tension during pregnancy—hips, glutes, back, and shoulders.
✨️support your postnatal body too - off tender breaststroke etc
As your body changes, the support should change too - you might want a huggy cushion, extra softness under the hips...
Side-lying meets you where you are, at every stage 🤍...

Yogababe was set up some 10 years ago as an antidote to my busy working life and stresses of bringing up young children. Yoga continues to help me (and my kids) stay grounded and can be weaved into our rigourous day-to-day lives! I love teaching Yoga as it can be adapted to suit anyone at any stage of life, bring harmony to the body, mind and soul no matter who you are, lifestyle or bodyshape. I aint no instagram yogi - you can’t take pictures of what Yoga feels like within. There is an old quote - someone tell me who said it - ‘if you can breathe, you can do Yoga’. I thoroughly agree.
I taught my first adult classes in January 2008 and became qualified as a British Wheel of Yogi in 2009. I have been teaching regularly since then at gyms, privately, with local and national charities, in the workplace and in schools. Since 2009 I specialized in Yoga for Women’s Health - Pregnancy Yoga, Postnatal Yoga, Yoga to help Fertility and for Womb Health, Hypno-Yoga for birth. I have studied with Uma Dinsmore Tuli, Birthlight, Wendy Teasdill, Janine Hurley, Calm for Kids’, Cherie Lathey and most recently Clare Spink (Fertility Massage).
I passionately offer nurturing one-to-ones and small group classes in all the above and for the promotion of mental health and women’s womb health and fertility. I am fully DBS certified and have undergone Safeguarding training so can also teach in schools and to vulnerable groups. Over the years I have collaborated with various charities/NGOs - including MS Society, MIND, Barnardos, CoastNet - worked in schools with children and teachers, and in workplace settings - Colchester Borough Housing, North East Essex Clinical Commissioning Group - as part of their Wellbeing initiatives.
It is great to practice Yoga to manage stress levels and relax, empower, nurture, strengthen and revitalise you increasing your general mental and physical wellbeing . All my classes combine breathing techniques, posture work and meditations/relaxation (Pranayama, Asana and Yoga Nidra), which are all especially modified from classical yoga practices to suit the person’s needs. Everything is adapted, taking in to consideration your particular stage of life/pregnancy/post natal body and mind and your particular needs (whether you have back pain, pelvic pains or are particularly fatigued or suffer mild depression etc).
Why not come along to a class and see how Yoga can fit in to your life too?
