PERINEAL SCAR THERAPY — GENTLE SUPPORT FOR YOUR HEALING

Perineal scars, whether from tearing or an episiotomy, can affect comfort, confidence, intimacy, and pelvic floor function. Many women are told “you’re healed” at six weeks, yet still feel pulling, tightness, stinging, or a sense that things just don’t feel the same.

I’m licensed to offer specialist perineal scar therapy, using gentle, respectful, clinical techniques to help soften adhesions, ease sensitivity, and restore natural mobility. This work supports the whole pelvic floor, helping you move, exercise, and live with more comfort and freedom. Scars can change beautifully, even years after birth.

Perineal scar therapy may help:
• Reduce tightness, pulling, or discomfort
• Improve pelvic floor movement and ease
• Support intimacy by reducing pain or sensitivity
• Encourage emotional healing after a difficult birth
• Reconnect you with a part of your body that deserves care

Alongside treatment, many women benefit from simple self-massage once healing is complete.

Three gentle steps for self-perineal scar massage:

Prepare – Wash hands, choose a quiet moment, and apply a small amount of natural, unscented oil.

Soften – Place one or two fingers on the external scar and hold gentle pressure for 30 seconds, allowing the tissue to soften under your touch.

Mobilise – Slowly move the tissue side to side, then in small circles, staying well within comfort. Stop if anything feels sharp or painful.

Every woman deserves to feel at ease in her own body. If you’d like personalised support, I’m here with compassion and expertise.

SCAR THERAPY FOR CAESAREAN BIRTH — GENTLE SUPPORT FOR YOUR HEALING

So many women tell me they were never really shown how to care for their caesarean scar, or they worry that touching it will somehow “disturb” the healing. In truth, your scar is living tissue, part of your story, and it responds beautifully to skilled, compassionate hands.

I offer specialist scar therapy for caesarean birth, blending evidence-based scar techniques with a holistic, nurturing approach. It’s suitable whether your birth was recent or many years ago — scars can always change.

Why scar therapy is so helpful:
• It softens tight or tethered tissue that may be causing discomfort.
• It supports mobility through your abdomen, hips, and pelvic floor, making movement easier.
• It improves circulation and lymphatic flow, which helps with healing.
• It can reduce sensitivity, numb patches, or that “pulling” feeling so many women describe.
• It encourages you to reconnect with an area that can feel overlooked after birth.
• And just as importantly, it can offer an emotional release, especially if your birth felt overwhelming or unexpected.

Scar therapy is gentle, respectful, and always led by your comfort. Whether you’re months or years postpartum, you deserve to feel ease and freedom in your body.

If you’d like to know whether this could help you, I’m always happy to chat. Love, Nina

Why I’m Loving the Nama Juicer Right Now 🍊✨

If you’ve been thinking about upping your juice game, the Nama juicer really does make it feel effortless. It’s quiet, powerful, and keeps all those gorgeous nutrients intact thanks to its slow-masticating magic. You get more juice, less waste, and beautiful flavours that taste like they’ve come straight from a wellness retreat.

It’s brilliant for busy mornings, hormone-supporting blends, post-workout replenishment, or just a little daily nourishment ritual. And the best bit? It’s ridiculously easy to clean — honestly, that’s what wins so many people over!

Fresh, vibrant goodness in minutes… what’s not to love?

From birth to 50.

Reaching fifty, for me, is about honoring all the steps of my journey. Growing up in Bedford, moving to Suffolk as a child, becoming a health sciences student, and then a midwife in the heart of London—all of these experiences have woven together to make me who I am.

When I came back to Ipswich and continued my work, I added new layers to my life: becoming a holistic therapist, a fitness instructor, and a therapeutic coach. I now teach an abundance of classes, see dozens of clients each week, and feel truly blessed by the circle of friends and family around me.

Of course, I can’t forget the birth of my two wonderful children—those magical home births that shaped so much of who I am as a mother. And through all of this, my husband Neal has been by my side. We've been married for eighteen years, and his support in setting up my business, raising our children, and building our home together has been a cornerstone of this journey.

So now, at fifty, I feel secure, at peace, and ready to embrace everything that comes next and so much life still to share!

I had a lovely B-Earth day and visited a Christmas Market at with the children and even got the teen boy to have a photo with Santa!

Saw my parents which was lovely and then out with my bestie and other halves for a gorgeous dinner at
And then onto see talk about her career and get a copy of her book AND a birthday card, and then on for cocktails 🍸 at The Crown. Just lovely.

As I sit here taking in the sunset in these last quiet hours of my forties I can feel my whole body exhale. This decade has held so much. Leaving the NHS. Building a business that supports women in the ways my heart always wanted to.

Mothering my children as they grew into their own wonderful selves. Keeping home and marriage steady through every renovation and every season of life. Learning again and again what it means to show up with love even when the world feels busy and full.

There is a clarity that comes with age that nobody tells you about when you are younger. A deepening. A softening. A knowing. I feel it settling in me now as I step toward fifty. I feel grateful for the wisdom that has arrived in small daily moments. For the lessons that shaped me. For the strength I learned quietly. For the way joy still finds me in the simplest things.

I am entering my fifties feeling connected to myself, healthy in body and spirit, and ready for whatever this next chapter offers. If you are standing at the edge of your own new decade too, I hope you feel this sense of grounded gratitude and gentle power rising in you as well. We are allowed to celebrate how far we have come. We are allowed to feel proud. We are allowed to step forward with our hearts wide open.

Thank you to all the beautiful women I know who have celebrated with me. Love, Nina xx

✨ We all have that one woman in our life…
The one who quietly holds everything together.
Maybe she’s your sister who’s been juggling work, kids, and everyone’s emotions.
Maybe she’s your best friend who always shows up with a cup of tea and the right words, even when she’s running on empty herself.
Maybe she’s your aunt, your daughter, your wife — the woman who never asks for anything, but gives absolutely everything.

At Christmas, we often say, “What can I get her? She has everything.”
But the truth is, most women don’t need more things…
They need space.
Care.
Time to breathe.
Time to feel held for once instead of being the one who’s always holding everyone else.

That’s why my Gift Vouchers feel so special.
They’re a way of saying, “I see how hard you’ve worked. I see the love you pour out. And you deserve a moment that’s just for you.”

They’re digital — so they land instantly in your inbox — and valid for 6 months, giving her the freedom to choose what she needs most:

🌙 A deeply restorative holistic massage
💛 Scar therapy after a surgery she’s quietly carried alone
🌿 A Mummy MOT to help her reconnect with her body
✨ A therapeutic coaching session to ground and uplift her
🧘‍♀️ A Pilates or barre class where she can strengthen, smile, and move again
💆‍♀️ Cupping, Indian head massage, myofascial release… whatever her body whispers for
💡 Tecar, LymphaTouch, or Celluma LED therapy for healing and renewal

A gift voucher can be printed and tucked inside a card, or emailed with a message from the heart.
Simple. Instant. Meaningful.

This Christmas, give her something she rarely gives herself —
care, rest, and a moment to feel truly valued.

Everyday Vitality: Thriving from Within

Do you ever feel like you’re doing everything “right” but still running on empty? Eating well, taking supplements, exercising — yet somehow, your energy and sparkle just won’t return?

The missing piece might not be what you’re doing — but what your cells can receive.

Each of your trillions of cells needs a healthy Omega-6:3 ratio to absorb nutrients and eliminate waste. But modern diets overload us with Omega-6 — from sunflower, soy, and vegetable oils in nearly every packaged or restaurant food.

Even with the best habits, if your cells are stiff and inflamed, your body can’t thrive.

Zinzino BalanceOil+ restores your natural balance — combining pure Omega-3s, antioxidant olive oil, and Vitamin D₃. Within 120 days, as your cells renew, women often notice clearer skin, brighter eyes, more energy, better focus and calmer digestion.

When your foundation is balanced, everything works better — your hormones, sleep, mood, skin, and energy all begin to flow.

🩸 I offer an at-home BalanceTest to show your exact Omega ratio and guide you through a tailored 120-day plan to rebuild your energy from the inside out.

This is about reclaiming vitality, not chasing wellness trends — about truly thriving from your cells upward.

Reproductive Health: Endo, PCOS, PMT & Heavy Cycles

Hormonal symptoms don’t appear out of nowhere — they’re your body whispering for balance.

Whether it’s endometriosis, PCOS, PMT or heavy, painful cycles, one thread connects them all: inflammation and poor cellular communication.

Every o***y, uterus and hormone receptor in your body relies on healthy fats — Omega-3 and Omega-6 — to function. But when modern diets drown us in Omega-6 oils, your cells stiffen, hormone signals distort, and inflammation grows.

Research shows that restoring Omega-3 levels can improve hormonal balance, support insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammatory markers in women’s reproductive health.

Zinzino BalanceOil+ is the most effective formula I’ve found to create that change. It’s a pure blend of small-fish oils, antioxidant olive oil, and Vitamin D₃, designed to rebalance the Omega-6:3 ratio and restore harmony across your whole system.

Within 120 days, many women notice calmer cycles, lighter bleeding, steadier moods and renewed energy — a body that finally feels like it’s working with them again.

🩸 I offer the BalanceTest to measure your Omega ratio and create your personalised plan. Let’s restore balance, one cell at a time.

Menopause: The Art of Rebalancing

Menopause isn’t the end of anything — it’s the awakening of wisdom.
But it can feel like chaos: hot flushes, fatigue, sleeplessness, mood shifts, dry skin and aching joints.

At the heart of it all lies your cellular balance.
As oestrogen declines, your body relies more on Omega-3 fats for supple tissues, smooth hormone communication and energy. Yet modern diets leave us drowning in Omega-6s and starved of Omega-3s.

That imbalance amplifies every symptom — inflammation rises, sleep suffers, and the sparkle fades.

Zinzino BalanceOil+ helps restore your natural equilibrium. With wild fish oils for pure Omega-3, olive oil for antioxidant protection, and Vitamin D₃ for immunity and bone health, it gives your body what it truly needs to thrive through this season.

Add in Collagen+ and Zinobiotic+ for skin, gut and connective tissue support, and you have a holistic trio that helps women move through menopause with grace, strength and radiance.

🩸 I offer the BalanceTest to measure your Omega ratio, then guide you through your 120-day plan to rebuild your foundation from within.

This chapter isn’t about fading — it’s about rebalancing, renewing, and rising.

I had the best birthday celebrations! 🍾 🍾 🍾 thank you to all who made it the most memorable!

Autoimmune Balance: Calming the Fire Within

If you live with inflammation, fatigue or an autoimmune condition, you’ll know how it feels to be constantly managing flare-ups — as if your body’s always one step away from peace.

The truth is, inflammation begins deep within your cells. Each one is wrapped in a membrane made from fats. When that membrane becomes stiff from too much Omega-6 (common in processed foods and cooking oils), your immune system can’t switch off. It stays in “fight mode.”

What your body truly needs isn’t more supplements — it needs balance.

Zinzino BalanceOil+ restores that balance with precision: wild-caught fish oils (EPA & DHA), olive oil polyphenols, and Vitamin D₃ that stabilise and nourish your cells. Together, they calm inflammation from the inside out, helping your body find its natural rhythm again.

It takes about 120 days for your cells to renew. But when they do, the difference can feel profound — clearer skin, calmer digestion, softer joints, more energy, better sleep, and that subtle sense of calm you thought was lost.

🩸 I can help you measure your current Omega balance with a simple at-home test and guide you through your personalised 120-day plan to rebuild, restore and rebalance.

Because healing isn’t about fighting harder — it’s about helping your body remember how to rest.
