“My body hurts”

is something so many women say quietly… then carry on anyway.

This week I’ve been sharing a bit about everyday pain, the kind we normalise because life is busy and there’s always something (or someone) that comes first.

If your wrists, neck, shoulders, back or hips have been grumbling for a while now, you’re not weak or broken.
Your body has just been working hard for a long time.

You don’t have to rush to fix anything.
Sometimes understanding what’s going on is the first bit of relief.

More soon 🤍

“My body hurts.”

It’s something so many women say quietly, almost in passing — as if it’s just part of life.

Wrists, neck, shoulders, back… we joke about it, work around it, and carry on because there’s always something else that needs doing.

I’ve shared a new blog today about everyday pain in women — why it’s so common, why we normalise it, and why it doesn’t mean your body is broken.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

I’m quietly working on something new for February.

It’s for women who live with ongoing aches and pain, the kind you get used to, work around, or tell yourself you’ll deal with “when things calm down”.

Sore shoulders.
Tight wrists or hands.
Neck pain.
Old injuries.
Scars that still pull.
Bodies that just don’t feel comfortable anymore.

It’s not fitness-based.
It’s not intimidating.
And it’s not about pushing through pain.

It’s about understanding why your body hurts, learning a few simple things that actually help, and having a place where those conversations are normal.

I’ll share more very soon, but for now, just know this is coming.

If you read my post or blog this week and quietly thought,

“That’s me… but I don’t have the energy to deal with it right now,”
This is for you.

A lot of mums live with sore shoulders, aching backs, tight hips or bodies that just don’t feel settled anymore — not because anything is wrong, but because their bodies have worked relentlessly for a long time.

You don’t have to fix it.
You don’t have to push through it.
And you don’t have to wait until you’re completely worn out.

Sometimes the most helpful thing is simply having your body supported and looked after properly, without rushing or expectation.

If and when the time feels right, support is there.
And if it’s not right now, that’s OK too.

“Why does my body still hurt after having a baby?”

It’s one of the most common questions I hear from mums, and one that often goes unanswered.

I’ve shared a new blog today about why postnatal aches and pain are far more common than women are led to believe, and why recovery doesn’t magically end at six weeks.

If you’re dealing with sore shoulders from feeding, tight hips, back pain, heavy legs, or a scar that still doesn’t feel quite right, this might help things make a bit more sense.

Mummy Me-Time Massage

If you’re a mum and your body hurts, this is for you.

Maybe you’ve had a baby recently, and your body is still feeling the effects of pregnancy and birth.
Whether labour was vaginal or via C-section, it’s hard on a woman’s body.
Your legs, hips and back have worked relentlessly.
Your shoulders and neck ache from feeding, holding and carrying.
Your body has done something enormous, and often needs a bit of ironing out and soothing afterwards.

Or maybe your babies aren’t babies anymore…but years of lifting, carrying, rushing, working, worrying and putting yourself last have caught up with you.
You feel exhausted, achy, and held together rather than comfortable in your body.

I’ve created something called a Mummy Me-Time Massage for exactly this.

It’s a 90-minute massage, with time to properly settle and be worked, not rushed, not surface-level, and for January and February I’m offering it for the price of a standard 55-minute session.

This isn’t a spa treat.
It’s supportive, hands-on bodywork for:
– tired legs, hips and backs
– feeding shoulders and necks
– postnatal bodies (recent or not-so-recent)
– scars that still feel tight or uncomfortable
– nervous systems that haven’t had much care

✨ You can book directly here:
👉 https://calendly.com/sunshinehealingfabfeeling/mummy-me-time-massage

Or, if you’re unsure whether it’s right for you, you’re very welcome to message me and ask 💛

This offer is available until the end of February, and appointments are limited.

“I keep saying I’ll do something for myself… but life gets in the way.”

If you’ve ever thought that, this one’s for you.

January has a funny way of making women feel like they should be doing more, fixing themselves, starting again, setting big goals, when in reality, most of us are already exhausted.

I’ve just shared a new short blog about something I’ve noticed in myself and in so many women I work with:
That constant feeling of wanting to look after your body… but never quite finding the space.

Instead of big plans or fresh starts, I talk about what happened when I stripped things right back to basics — eating properly, taking supplements, and meeting my body where it actually is.

No pressure.
No “new year, new you”.
Just a gentler way in.

✨ If you’ve been wondering:
– “Why am I so tired all the time?”
– “Why do I never have time for myself?”
– “I want to feel better, but I don’t know where to start”

This might be worth a read.

That’s me signing off for Christmas 💛

Thank you for the trust, the conversations, the messages, the bookings, the reviews and the quiet support this year. It’s been a big one, and I’m so grateful.

I’ll be taking a proper rest now and will be back on 6th January.

If your body feels a bit creaky, sore or fed up over the next couple of weeks, remember, you’re not broken. You’re human, and December takes a toll.

Wishing you a gentle Christmas, whatever it looks like for you 🤍
See you in the New Year.

A little Christmas note from me 💛

I’ll be finishing up for the year on Christmas Eve and then taking a proper break, returning on 6th January.

If you’ve booked in, messaged, commented, read quietly, or supported my little business in any way this year, thank you. It genuinely means more than you know.

December is a full-on month, so if your body feels a bit more stiff, tight or tired than usual, that’s completely understandable. Be kind to yourself where you can.

I’ll be back in the New Year, rested and ready for 2026 💛

Sometimes the biggest wins aren’t the ones you can put on a shelf.

Earlier this week, I shared that I’ve been named Women’s Holistic Therapy Clinic of the Year 2025/26 by the Prestige Awards (still feels funny typing that).

The bit that really got me was the judges’ feedback.
They said they chose me because of:

✨ my personal touch
✨ my online activity
✨ the consistency of my reviews
✨ and the community feel around my work

That’s you.
The women who read, comment, message, ask questions, book in, come back, recommend me, and quietly tell their friends,
“Go and see Dawn, she’ll explain it properly.”

As we creep towards the time of year where everyone starts yelling about resolutions, diets and punishing exercise… I just want to say this:

You don’t need fixing.
You don’t need shouting at.
You don’t need to “start again on Monday.”

You deserve to understand why your body hurts, and to get real, down-to-earth help to change that.

If you’re already thinking about 2026 and wondering,
“Is it always going to feel like this?”
You’re very welcome to drop me a message and tell me what’s going on in your body. I’ll always be honest about whether I can help.

💛 And if you missed it, this week’s short blog is all about this little award win, and what it means to me; the link is in the 1st comment below.

I’ve been keeping a little secret… and today feels like the right day to share it. 💛 Sunshine Holistic Therapy

Yesterday, I got a phone call telling me I’d been selected as the Women’s Holistic Therapy Clinic of the Year 2025/26 by the Prestige Awards.

The judges said they were impressed by my:
✨ personal touch
✨ online presence
✨ consistency of reviews
✨ and community feel

And honestly, that means the world, because that’s exactly what I try to build here every single day.

Warmth.
Clarity.
Support.
Proper help.
No gimmicks.
No fluff.
Just real women, real bodies, real change.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
You’ve helped create the community they were talking about.

“Does C-section scar massage actually help?”

This is another huge question women ask Google, and yes, when it’s done gently and correctly, it can make a massive difference.

Scar work can help ease:
✨ pulling or dragging
✨ raised or tight tissue
✨ sharp or stabbing pains
✨ hip or back discomfort
✨ numb areas
✨ that stubborn overhang/pouch

Most women tell me after their session:
“That pulling has eased already.”
“My scar feels so much softer.”
“My hips feel different in the best way.”
“I didn’t expect my back to feel freer, too.”

If you want home guidance, my free Scar Care 101 page is full of clear, simple support, from early healing to massage basics and safe movement tips. (Link in the 1st comment).

You’re not stuck with how your scar feels today. 💛
