✨ When Your Body Hurts… but it’s your Nervous System Asking for Help ✨

If you’re living with chronic pain that never fully goes away — even after physio, stretching, “rest,” or trying to push through it — please read this.

Because the problem might not be your muscles alone.

Many of my clients come to me saying things like:

🔥 “I’m exhausted but wired.”
🔥 “Pain flares every time I’m stressed.”
🔥 “I’ve tried everything — nothing works long-term.”
🔥 “I just want to feel calm in my own body again.”

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone — and you’re not “broken.”

You’re overwhelmed.
Your body is protecting you.
And together, we can teach it a new way.

At Ascension Massage Therapy, I combine:

💚 Advanced Clinical Massage
💚 Somatic Release (based on Polyvagal Theory)
💚 Nervous System Reset Techniques

This is for you if you’re ready to:

✔ Reduce chronic pain with more than a list of exercises
✔ Feel calmer, softer, and more regulated
✔ Learn simple techniques you can use every day
✔ Start healing the root of your pain — not just the symptoms

You don’t have to handle this alone.
You don’t have to “push through” one more day.

Your healing starts with a regulated nervous system — and that’s exactly what we work on together.

💬 Comment “INFO” or message me privately and I’ll send you details about the in-person and online options.

Your body has carried you through enough.
Let’s help it exhale. 💚

🌿 This Christmas… give yourself the gift of finally feeling better. 🌿

If you’ve been living with long-standing pain, you already know it doesn’t magically disappear because life gets busy — and Christmas is one of the busiest times of all.
But imagine stepping into Christmas feeling pain free, and more in control of your body.

If you’re tired of being handed a sheet of exercises and sent on your way…
If you want hands-on care, someone who actually listens, and a plan that adapts to your life, your pain, and your needs…

Then this is your sign to start.

At Ascension Massage Therapy, I specialise in helping women who’ve been struggling for months or years move back into comfort using a blend of:

✨ Clinical massage
✨ Somatic release to calm your nervous system
✨ Gentle strengthening & mobility work
✨ A personalised approach that meets you exactly where you are

No cookie-cutters. No “just do these 10 exercises.”
Just thoughtful, person-centred care designed to help you finally feel like you again.

🎄 December appointments are filling quickly — this is the perfect time to prioritise yourself before the Christmas rush.
Your body will thank you long after the decorations come down.

📩 Message me to secure your space or ask any questions — I’d love to help you start feeling better before the year ends.

✨ Struggling with Headaches, Migraines, Neck or Jaw Pain? Read This. ✨

If you live with constant tension behind your eyes…
If your jaw aches before your day even begins…
If migraines steal hours (or days) of your life…
If neck pain makes even simple tasks—working, driving, sleeping—feel harder than they should…

Then you already know:
This isn’t “just pain.”
It affects your mood, your patience, your energy, your relationships, and your ability to simply be yourself.

I specialise in treating headaches, migraines, neck and jaw pain using evidence informed manual therapy. These methods work deeply—not just to temporarily ease the symptoms, but to gently unwind the patterns in the muscles, fascia, and nervous system that keep your pain looping.

My clients often tell me things like:
“It’s the first time I’ve felt relief in months”
“I finally slept a full night”
“I didn’t realise how much the pain was affecting me until it eased”

If your body has been whispering… or shouting… for help, this is your sign to listen.

Next week, I’m opening appointment slots specifically for headache, migraine, neck and jaw pain relief.
To make it easier for you to take that first step, I’m offering:

£10 OFF your first treatment next week

Because you deserve to feel clear-headed, spacious, grounded, and pain-free—or as close to that as possible.

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time,” let this be it.
You don’t have to push through it.
You don’t have to keep coping.
Your body is allowed to feel better.

I love my role as a TOTO (Teaching one to one) at Jing Institute of Massage & Complementary Medicine . While learning to teach, I get to watch the next group of world class massage therapists come together to learn and master their skills. What a privilege it has been to help on the ACMT. What a unique space and the love is echoed through all the closing circle comments and smiles on faces. This week we covered the leg, knee and foot, sports event massage, and arm wrist and elbow. While students have been practicing their skills at home, this brings everyone together for mastery.

With students from all over the world, all I can say, this is what the world needs more of! Compassionate pain relief, that believes in treating the whole person, not just the hurty thing. More Jing therapists please!

Migraines are so much more than “just headaches.” They’re a complex neurological condition that can impact the whole body — including your hearing.

🧠 Common symptoms include:

Throbbing or pulsating head pain (often one-sided)

Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells

Nausea, dizziness, or visual disturbances

👂 Research also shows a link between migraines and sensorineural hearing loss, especially in those who experience balance-related (vestibular) migraines.
You might notice:

Ringing or fullness in your ears

Muffled hearing

Difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments

These changes may be due to inflammation or reduced blood flow affecting the auditory nerve during migraine episodes.

💆‍♀️ Massage and fascial release therapy can help:
By addressing cranial fascial restriction, easing neck and shoulder tension, improving circulation, and calming the nervous system, manual therapy can support recovery and help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine symptoms.

If you experience migraines alongside hearing changes, speak to your GP or audiologist, and consider including therapeutic massage as part of your holistic care approach.

🌿 Supporting your body’s balance — one gentle touch at a time.

Today is microtia awareness day! Microtia means 'little ear' and is characterised by an underdeveloped outer ear (the bit you see) but is often accompanied by atresia, which affects the middle ear, causing moderate to severe hearing loss. This is my daughter ☺️ she has microtia/atresia of the left ear and I can assure you, nothing gets in her way. She is an unstoppable queen.

There is a significant link between hearing loss and headaches which I will be exploring over the next few weeks to raise awareness around headaches/migraines, TMJD and hearing loss.

If you (or your child) experience hearing loss and also struggle with headaches, migraines, dizziness, jaw or facial pain, or TMJD symptoms — you are not alone, and there are supportive treatments that can reduce pain and help you feel more regulated and comfortable in your body.

In recognition of Microtia Awareness Day, I’m offering a special support week in the last week of November:
£10 off your first TMJD & headache-focused treatment sessions, specifically for those with hearing loss.
