The Body Keeps the Score

Recently, I received an apology from someone connected to a situation that deeply hurt me many years ago.

Something about this connection stirred me. Not because I want to reopen old wounds, but because my body remembered what my mind had long learned to live around.

The apology was partial. Some of the harm was named, some wasn’t. And it brought up something I know many women experience but rarely talk about, the confusion that arises when someone reaches out long after the damage was done.

If you are someone who tends to fawn, minimise, or doubt your own worth, moments like this can feel destabilising.

You might wonder:
Am I meant to accept this?
Am I being unkind if I don’t?
Should I explain myself?
Should I reassure them?
Was it really that bad?

Here is what I want you to know.

An apology does not require your forgiveness.
An apology does not require your emotional labour.
An apology does not erase harm that was never acknowledged.

And you are allowed to trust your body’s response, even years later.

Sometimes people apologise because they have grown.
Sometimes they apologise because guilt wants relief.
Sometimes they still cannot fully face the impact of their actions.

You do not have to decide which is true in order to honour yourself.

One of the most powerful things you can do, especially if you struggle with low self-worth, is to respond inwardly first.

Write the reply you will never send.
Name what actually happened.
Let your nervous system complete the story.

You are not obliged to be gracious at the expense of your truth.

Strength does not always look like confrontation.
Sometimes it looks like quiet clarity.
Sometimes it looks like saying nothing at all.

If this resonates, let it be a reminder:
You are allowed to take your time.
You are allowed to feel what you feel.
You are allowed to choose yourself now, even if you couldn’t then.

This is not about holding grudges.
It’s about restoring dignity.

You deserve that. x

✨ Pregnant and wanting to keep moving with confidence? ✨

Gentle, appropriate movement during pregnancy is one of the most supportive things you can offer your body, and your baby 🤍

My weekly Pregnancy Pilates class is designed for women who want to move safely, feel reassured, and be guided by someone who truly understands the pregnant body. As an experienced midwife and women’s health professional, I combine clinical knowledge with calm, nurturing movement.

✨ Why move in pregnancy? (the evidence bit, made gentle)
Research consistently shows that appropriate exercise in pregnancy can
🤍 reduce common aches and pains, including back and pelvic discomfort
🤍 support pelvic floor function and postural strength
🤍 improve circulation and energy levels
🤍 help manage stress and support emotional wellbeing
🤍 support sleep and reduce pregnancy-related fatigue
🤍 prepare the body for birth and postnatal recovery

Movement doesn’t need to be intense to be effective. In fact, slow, mindful, well-adapted exercise is often where the deepest benefits lie ✨

These classes are
🌿 calm and unhurried
🌿 adapted for each stage of pregnancy
🌿 focused on breath, strength, mobility, and body awareness
🌿 a supportive space where you don’t have to second-guess what’s “safe”

No previous Pilates experience is needed, just a willingness to listen to your body and move with kindness 🤍

Classes resume Tuesday 13th January 2026

Pricing:
• £15 per session
• £90 for a block of 6 consecutive classes

If you’re pregnant and craving movement that feels reassuring, informed, and genuinely supportive, you’ll be very welcome ✨

love Nina xx

Hello lovely,
As this year gently exhales, we find ourselves standing at a threshold, the quiet meeting place between what has been lived and what is beginning to stir.

This is not an ending, but a handover. A moment to pause, steady ourselves, and honour the passage we are making as reflection softens into readiness.

Our ancestors understand thresholds deeply. They know how wisdom travels through time, how strength lives in the body, and how resilience is passed quietly through bloodlines and breath. When we honour them with presence and intention, we meet what lies ahead with greater steadiness and trust.

As you look back over this year, you may notice how much inner work has already unfolded. Moments of staying present when it would have been easier to disconnect, or choosing truth over comfort. Much of this may never be visible to others, yet it lives within you as embodied wisdom, and it deserves honour too.

The year ahead carries the energy of One. When we add the numbers of 2026, we arrive at ten, returning us to one, the beginning of a new cycle. This is a year of fresh starts, conscious seed-planting, and choosing your direction from the inside out. One is not rushed or forceful. It asks for clarity rather than proving, presence rather than urgency. The energy you carry into 2026 matters, as this year responds to self-trust and grounded intention.

And yet, the true turning of the year comes at the Spring Equinox, when light returns to balance and life stirs beneath the soil. By this wisdom, we are still in the incubator. Winter is a gestational season, a time of unseen rearranging. If you feel quieter, more inward, or slower than the world expects, you are not behind. You are aligned with a deeper rhythm.

There is no urgency here. Roots are forming, clarity is settling, and strength is gathering. Spring will come, movement will return, and action will feel natural rather than forced.

For now, follow your own rhythm. Trust the slow, intelligent unfolding of this season. Honour what is incubating within you.
You are already standing at the doorway, arriving exactly on time.

Love Nina xx

✨ Christmas Closure & A Big Thank You ✨

As the year gently comes to a close, I just want to let you know that I’ll be closed over the Christmas period, taking some time to rest, restore, and be with my loved ones.

I want to say the biggest thank you to all my lovely clients for supporting me and my small business this year. Every session, class, conversation, shared story, and moment of trust means more to me than I can ever fully put into words. It truly is an honour to walk alongside you.

As I reflect on this year, I feel deeply grateful for
• the women who show up for themselves
• the courage I witness every day
• the healing, movement, and connection shared in my space
• the growth of my work and the community around it
• and the privilege of doing work that feels so aligned with my heart

I’m really looking forward to more connections, more care, and more gentle, empowering work together in the New Year, supporting you in whatever chapter you’re stepping into.

Wishing you a peaceful, nourishing Christmas and a soft, hopeful start to the year ahead.
With so much love and gratitude, Nina xx 💫

✨ Your Life Path Number — The Heart of Your Numerology ✨

If you’ve read my last posts and felt that little spark of curiosity about your own numbers, this is the perfect place to start.

The Life Path Number is one of the simplest and most insightful parts of numerology. It’s based entirely on your date of birth, and it reflects the energy, lessons, strengths, and direction you’re meant to grow into during your lifetime.

It’s not about predicting your future or putting you in a box.
Think of it more like a gentle compass — a way of understanding the themes that naturally run through your life.

✨ How to Calculate Your Life Path Number

All you need is your full date of birth.
Let’s use an example:

22 November 1975

Break it down and add:

Day: 2 + 2 = 4

Month: 1 + 1 = 2

Year: 1 + 9 + 7 + 5 = 22 → 2 + 2 = 4

Now add them together:

4 + 2 + 4 = 10
Then reduce again: 1 + 0 = 1

Life Path Number = 1

✨ If your final number is 11, 22, or 33 — don’t reduce it. Those are Master Numbers.

✨ What the Life Path Reveals

Your Life Path Number can offer insights into things like:

the gifts you’re here to share

the themes you grow through

what feels natural and aligned

what challenges shape and strengthen you

where your purpose tends to unfold

It’s often the number that makes people say,
“Oh… that actually makes sense.”

✨ Try It For Yourself

If you feel called to explore who you are on a deeper level — your purpose, your patterns, your strengths — start with your Life Path.
It’s simple, grounding, and surprisingly accurate in the most gentle and reflective way.

And if you find a Master Number appearing in your chart… pay attention.
That little nudge is often your higher self saying,
“Look here. There’s something important for you.”

If you'd like help interpreting your number, you’re always welcome to share it with me. I shall share what numbers are aligned with in my next post.

Why It’s So Important to Get Any Breast Lump or Change Checked Early

I wanted to share something close to my heart, because it might give another woman the nudge she needs. I found a lump about three months ago and recently noticed it had changed. Even though part of me worried about wasting someone’s time, I booked an appointment. I’m so glad I did.

It turned out to be a cluster of cysts, and the care I received at Ipswich Hospital was exceptional. The male doctor who examined me was so gentle, calm and reassuring, and the staff who carried out the mammogram were equally kind. I felt completely safe, respected and well looked after throughout the whole experience.

What surprised me was how emotional I felt afterwards. I recommend taking someone with you if you can, or having a friend on standby. I had a long cry and a heartfelt chat with my bestie afterwards, and it helped me release everything I’d been holding.

Please, please check your breasts regularly and get any lump, change or new sensation assessed. Early reassurance is priceless, and early detection saves lives. And while we’re talking about it, check your v***a too. Knowing what’s normal for your body is powerful.

Look after yourselves, beautiful ones — your health matters more than you know.

✨ A Little More on Master Numbers — and Why 11 AND 22 Matter to Me ✨

While numerology includes many interesting number patterns, there are traditionally only three recognised Master Numbers: 11, 22, and 33. These numbers aren’t reduced in the usual way because they carry a stronger, more layered energy.

And beautifully, two of these Master Numbers sit right within my own birth date.

I was born in November, the 11th month — carrying the energy of Master Number 11, the number of intuition, inner sight, and that deeper sense of knowing that often arrives before logic catches up.

And I was born on the 22nd, the Master Builder — the energy that turns intuition into form, vision into structure, and inner wisdom into something tangible that supports others.

When you put 11 and 22 together, you get a blend of:

✨ intuitive insight
✨ grounded action
✨ spiritual awareness
✨ practical creation
✨ and a natural pull toward guiding, supporting, and building spaces where others can grow

For me, discovering these layers helped me understand so much about why I’m drawn to the work I do, why I’ve always felt that inner nudge to hold safe space, and why I love creating environments where women feel supported, understood, and empowered. It’s like recognising the map I was carrying all along.

If you happen to have a Master Number in your chart too — or if you're simply curious about the numbers woven into your birth date — you might find a little spark of recognition there as well.

✨ Understanding Numerology ✨

Have you ever noticed that certain numbers seem to follow you around? Your birthday, house number, lucky numbers, or even dates that feel significant? Numerology offers a gentle way of exploring why certain numbers feel meaningful, without needing to drift into anything too mystical.

At its simplest, numerology is the study of patterns — the patterns in your birth date, the patterns that repeat in your life, and the patterns that point toward your strengths, your tendencies, and the deeper layers of who you are.

One of the most fascinating parts of numerology is something called Master Numbers: 11, 22, and 33.
They’re called “master” not because they make anyone better or more special, but because they carry a stronger energetic signature. It’s like the volume is turned up.

11 is the number of intuition, insight, and inner wisdom.
22 is the “builder”, the one who turns ideas into something real.
33 is linked with compassion, guidance, and heart-centred service.

These numbers are often connected to the aspects of us that operate beneath the surface — the unconscious parts, the quiet inner voice, the sense that we have a deeper purpose or inner knowing guiding us.

For some people, numerology becomes a doorway into understanding their higher self, the part of them that isn’t tangled in self-doubt, old beliefs, or the noise of life. It’s not about predicting the future or being “chosen.” It’s simply a reflective tool, a way to ask:

✨ Where am I being nudged?
What strengths am I ready to step into?
What is life quietly trying to tell me? ✨

If you’re feeling that pull — that sense that there’s something more to understand about who you are and why you’re here — exploring your own numbers can be a surprisingly grounding place to start. It brings together psychology, intuition, self-reflection, and meaning-making in a way that feels supportive, not strange.

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.
