Your Nurturing Touch Massage Therapy

If you’ve welcomed your baby in the last few months, you might be craving something calm and supportive in your week.

Not just another baby class.
Not somewhere you feel rushed.
But somewhere you can breathe.

A new 6 Week Baby Massage & Reflexology Course starts on Monday 2nd March at 10am, and there are now only a few days left to secure a space.

Over six weeks you’ll gently learn:

• How to ease wind and tummy discomfort
• Reflexology points to support sleep and digestion
• A full baby massage routine
• How to recognise and respond to your baby’s cues
• How to adapt everything to suit your baby

This isn’t a one size fits all sequence. The group is intentionally small so you can ask questions and feel properly supported.

Feeding, cuddling and changing are always welcome.

Everything is included. Mats, massage oil to take home, detailed handouts, plus tea and cake each week.

And because booking something new can feel daunting, there’s a 100% money back guarantee if you attend and genuinely feel it wasn’t helpful.

If this feels like the right fit for you, I would encourage you to book soon before spaces close.

Baby massage is about safe respectful nurturing touch. We ask permission because we want to teach our growing children that they have autonomy over their body and they always have a right to say no. There is absolutely no need to pulling a baby’s arms into positions like this! And if your baby isn’t enjoying the massage then stop!

Correlation is not causation.

Yoga pants don’t cause autism!
Netflix didn’t cause autism!
Organic food sales didn’t cause autism!
Paracetamol during pregnancy does not cause autism!

Blaming women for their child’s autism because they took safe pain relief in pregnancy is harmful and wrong.

Pregnant women deserve compassion and safe options.

Autistic people deserve respect.
I’ve linked the Swedish sibling study in the comments so you can explore the research yourself. 💜

100% stress ➝ 0% stress

Hot stone massage doesn’t just feel good – it boosts circulation, eases muscle tension & calms your nervous system.

Who’s ready to melt away their stress?

If you joined me on the Pregnancy Massage course at JING this week – thank you!

I’ve had the most incredible four days sharing something I’m deeply passionate about. It’s always an honour to support pregnant clients, and this week it was an equal honour to guide other therapists in learning how to nurture during pregnancy.

Because when you care for a mother, you’re not just supporting her – you’re supporting her baby, her family, and her whole journey. 💕

Your Moment of Calm Awaits

The summer holidays can be a whirlwind — keeping little ones entertained, juggling plans, and barely finding a moment to breathe. 💛

I’ve had a rare last-minute opening tomorrow and a handful of spaces left this month (see highlighted dates). If you’ve been meaning to book in for a little you time — to unwind, reset, and feel like yourself again — now’s the perfect chance.

Secure your slot via my website and let me take care of the rest. Your body (and mind) will thank you.

💛 Do you live with jaw pain, clicking, clenching, or tension headaches? I’d love to hear from you. 💛

I’m currently looking for women aged 25–65 to take part in a special research project that's really close to my heart.

Over the years as a massage therapist, I’ve worked with so many women quietly suffering with TMJ issues — pain in the jaw, temples, neck, head — often without much support or understanding.

Now, as part of my final year studying the Level 6 Diploma in Advanced Clinical & Sports Massage, I’m running a 16-week research study exploring whether a combination of massage and home self-care can help reduce TMJ pain and related symptoms.

If this sounds like you (or someone you love), I’d be so grateful if you’d consider joining me. 💗

What’s involved:
👐 3 hands-on massage treatments with me (in Orpington)
📹 Simple, guided self-care videos to do at home
📝 A short weekly symptom check-in (online form, just a few minutes)
💬 Ongoing support from me throughout

This study is not free but is being offered at a huge discount to reflect your time, energy, and the important role you’ll play in contributing to real research that could help others in the future too.

You might be eligible if you’ve had:
Jaw pain or clicking
Tension when chewing or talking
Headaches or pain in your neck/shoulders
Teeth clenching or grinding (especially at night)
TMJ symptoms for 3 months or more
📍 Based in Orpington (BR6)
🕊️ Safe, supportive, trauma-informed environment
🎥 No previous experience with massage or self-care needed

If you'd like to find out more or apply, here’s the link:

And please feel free to share this with any friends, family or colleagues who might benefit. Every single person who takes part will make a difference — and I’d love to support you on this journey.

Warmly,

🇺🇸 4th of July. A day to celebrate freedom — yet Lady Liberty weeps.

While America lights fireworks, far too many women are being silenced, sidelined — or worse, lost.

🖤 Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old nurse in Georgia, was just eight weeks pregnant when she suffered a stroke and was declared brain dead. But under the state’s abortion laws, doctors refused to withdraw life support — despite her family’s wishes.
She was kept alive for over 100 days, even after scans showed the baby had fluid on the brain and may be blind, unable to walk, or unlikely to survive.

🖤 Amber Nicole Thurman (28) and Candi Miller (41), both in Georgia, died from treatable complications because providers were afraid to act.

🖤 In Texas, Josseli Barnica (28) died after a 40-hour delay in miscarriage care. Nevaeh Crain (18) was sent home from hospital multiple times before dying of sepsis.

🖤 Maternal deaths are now twice as likely in states with abortion bans. These laws aren’t pro-life — they’re pro-control.

These women deserved better. Their families deserved choices.
This is not liberty. It’s cruelty, written into law.

📢 Reproductive rights are human rights.
📢 Freedom means nothing without bodily autonomy.
📢 You don’t have to be American to care — just human.

Struggling with jaw pain, tension headaches or facial discomfort?
You don’t have to just live with it.

I’m inviting women aged 25–64 to take part in my massage therapy research study focused on TMJ (jaw) dysfunction — part of my final-year dissertation for a degree in advanced clinical massage.

This is a unique opportunity to receive expert, evidence-informed treatment at a significantly reduced rate. The study includes:

• Three targeted massage sessions
• Weekly check-ins to track progress
• Guided self-care to support long-term relief

To be eligible, you’ll need to regularly experience three or more of the following:
– Headaches
– Pain in your jaw, ears, neck, shoulders or temples
– Clicking or noise when opening your mouth
– Difficulty chewing or opening fully

If this sounds familiar, I’d love to support you through this transformative work.

Click the link in my bio to complete a short questionnaire and see if you’re eligible.

This is more than a study — it’s a chance to feel deeply supported, heard, and treated with care. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to prioritise your wellbeing, this could be it.
