THERAPY THURSDAY – SCAR WORK

I have permission to share this 💙
This lovely client came to me after breast cancer surgery with a seroma under her arm and very restricted movement.
We started with Emmett Therapy to gently improve her arm movement.
She’s now had 2 sessions of scar therapy…
and her words say it all:
👉 “It was like a cricket ball… now it’s more like a tennis ball”
Less restriction. Less discomfort. Real progress.
Scar work isn’t just about the scar you see , it’s about how it feels, moves, and affects your body day to day.
If you’ve been told “it’ll just settle”… but it hasn’t there may be more we can do.

🌿 Wellness Wednesday – Healing Meals with Michelle 🌿
I think I’ve officially found my new go-to lunch… and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon 😄
Broccoli waffles topped with a variety of high-protein options, think chicken, tuna, and whatever I’ve got in the fridge.
✔ High in protein to keep you full and energised
✔ Packed with greens without even thinking about it
✔ Quick, simple, and actually enjoyable (which matters!)
This is exactly the kind of meal that keeps things on track without feeling like you’re “on a plan”. Just real food that works.
What would you top your waffles with chicken, tuna, or something else?

🐣 Happy Easter to all my lovely clients 🐣
I hope your weekend is filled with a little rest, a lot of smiles, and just the right amount of chocolate… no judgement here 😉
Easter is a lovely reminder to slow down, recharge, and take care of yourself something we often forget when life gets busy.
If your body is feeling the effects of doing too much (or even doing very little), I’m here when you’re ready to reset, rebalance, and feel like yourself again.
Enjoy the break, soak up the lighter days, and be kind to your body 💛
Michelle

Therapy Thursday 👣✨

Today’s focus is Reflexology.
Your feet are doing more than just getting you from A to B they’re a map of your whole body.
Reflexology works on specific points in the feet that relate to different organs and systems, helping to support balance, relaxation, and overall wellbeing.
People often come for Reflexology when they’re dealing with:
• Stress and feeling overwhelmed
• Poor sleep 😴
• Hormonal imbalances
• Digestive issues
• General aches and tension
But sometimes… they just want an hour to properly switch off and that’s reason enough.
Have you ever tried Reflexology?
👣 Yes and loved it
👣 No but curious
👣 Not sure what it’s all about
Pop your answer below I’d love to know 👇
Happy Therapy Thursday 🌿💛

🌿 Wellness Wednesday – Healing Meals with Michelle 🌿

Tonight’s dinner: Honey Mustard Chicken with Broccoli, Carrots & Sprouts 🍯🍗🥦
Yes… sprouts are involved.
And yes… they’re my favourite veg. No judgement please 😂
Sweet honey mustard chicken for flavour.
Colourful veg for fibre and nutrients.
Sprouts doing their tiny-but-mighty thing in the background.
Proof that healthy food doesn’t have to be serious , it just has to taste good and support your body.
💚 If sprouts aren’t your thing… what is your “surprisingly healthy but secretly love it” veg?
Just like in the clinic, it’s all about balance, nourishment, and healing from the inside out 🌿

🌿 Hello April… let’s see what you’ve got in store.
New month, fresh energy… and if we’re being honest, probably a few aches and niggles that didn’t magically disappear overnight.
That’s where I come in.
April is a great time to reset your body, ease restrictions, and get things moving properly again. Whether it’s:
✨ Emmett Technique for quick, effective release
✨ Reflexology to support your whole body
✨ Scar therapy to improve mobility and comfort
✨ Myofascial release for those stubborn tight areas
✨ Lymphatic drainage to help you feel lighter and less sluggish
No gimmicks, no April fools… just treatments that actually make a difference.
If your body’s been whispering (or shouting) at you, maybe it’s time to listen.
Appointments available message me to book 💬

🌿 Well… that was a busy one yesterday! 🌿
It was a cracking day yesterday at the Mercure York Fairfield Manor Hotel for the York Mind Body Soul Fayre
Safe to say… a lot of bodies turned up today feeling like they’d been assembled slightly wrong 😅
I’ve worked on:
👉 Shoulders that didn’t want to shoulder
👉 Backs that had clearly had enough
👉 And a fair few “I’ll just live with it” situations
And the best bit?
Watching people get off the chair going…
😮 “Oh… that’s weird… that actually feels better!”
That’s the magic of the Emmett Technique , gentle, quick, and no drama… just results.
Massive thank you to everyone who came over, trusted me, and had a go . you were all fab 💙
If you didn’t make it yesterday but your body is quietly (or loudly) complaining…
don’t ignore it, it rarely fixes itself 😉

🌿 “I didn’t expect that…” 🌿
One of my clients today at the Mercure York Fairfield Manor Hotel sat down with a really painful shoulder…
Limited movement, uncomfortable, and very much in the
“I’ve just been putting up with it” camp.
After a short Emmett session, they stood up, moved their arm… and just paused.
😮 “That’s really strange… it actually feels better!”
Not strange to me 😉
Just the body finally being given the right input.
This is what I see all the time,
people thinking they just have to live with discomfort, when actually… they don’t.
If something’s been niggling, restricting you, or just not quite right, it’s worth getting it checked.
Because “just putting up with it” isn’t a treatment plan.
📩 Message me if you want to feel the difference for yourself.

👉 “I’ve got a couple of spaces left this week — once they’re gone, they’re gone.”

🌿 Wellness Wednesday – Healing Meals with Michelle 🌿
Now this was an absolute corker of a meal.
Slow cooker lamb shank with a rich jus, served with roasted carrots, broccoli, and red cabbage cooked with garlic and balsamic.
Packed with goodness:
✔ Protein from the lamb to help repair and support the body
✔ Fibre and antioxidants from the colourful veg
✔ Slow cooking to keep everything tender, rich, and full of flavour
Healthy food doesn’t have to be boring or restrictive, it can be properly satisfying and nourishing at the same time.
This one definitely hit the spot.
Do you prefer roasted veg or steamed veg with a meal like this? 🥕🥦
