The c-section “shelf” is a very common leftover after everything has healed up and you would think things should be back to normal. This isn’t a fat tummy, it isn’t lack of exercise. The underlying tissue simply has not realigned properly after the surgery.

The good news is that this can be quite easily rectified without major intervention. A few simple and gentle ScarWork sessions can help your scar tissue reintegrate, reducing the overhang, usually completely.

Myofascial Release and Fascial Unwinding are great for that long held, deep sitting, tense pain and aching. Get in touch to book.

Myofascial Release and Fascial Unwinding techniques are slow, soft and have depth throughout your entire body. Often clients can feel the effect radiating to and responding in seemingly totally different places, head to toe.

We are not made of separate bits and systems which happen to work alongside each other. We are a complex, beautiful symbiosis of many intricately, innately interwoven aspects creating one whole. And the fascia connects everything within us. The facia holds, it communicates, it remembers. Fascia has more nerve endings than any other body tissue. Fascia helps us feel how, who and where we are.

I highly recommend this. I was lucky to hear Simon Mills speak at a plant medicine festival a few weeks ago. Chronic health and pain conditions, the gut, herbal medicine, food, the link between them all and a lifetime of experience as a practitioner, he is well worth a listen.

Of course not! We certainly don’t believe that age should be a barrier to receiving a massage, but when working with older adults (myself included, haha!), there are a few extra considerations to keep in mind.

They say you're only as old as you feel, and while I can’t promise to erase crow’s feet or grey hairs, I do hope my clients leave feeling a little lighter and more at ease in their bodies.

I work with clients across the lifespan, from adolescents to the elderly. Some massage therapists choose to work only with adults over 18, and that’s a personal decision. But I believe massage offers benefits for everyone, regardless of age. While younger people might have fewer aches and pains (lucky them!), they’re not immune to tension, injury, or the need for a safe, caring touch.

With age, muscles, tissues, and joints may change. My older clients have often lived through more physical wear and tear, and sometimes take a little longer to recover. As for me? I’ve earned every wrinkle and war wound; they tell a story. And I love sharing those stories, too!

What matters most, at any age, is communication. That means taking the time to listen. As therapists, we sometimes need to encourage our clients to share their full history, even details they think are unimportant. That information helps us tailor treatment to meet them exactly where they are.

Whether a client needs weekly support, occasional check-ins, or something in between, it always comes down to their personal needs, goals, and lifestyle. And honestly, that’s what keeps this work so interesting and rewarding.

Scars are a sign of survival, of overcoming. As women, it is time we owned and loved our bodies as they are. ♥️
