Postnatal recovery massage
It’s my belief that every woman should experience some form of bodywork after giving birth, to help them heal, come into their bodies, feel more centered and grounded.
The fourth trimester is a unique time in a woman’s transition to motherhood, not only has your child been born, a mother has also been born. It can leave us feeling vulnerable and emotional and overwhelmed. Physically, our bodies have just birthed our babies, they are open and trying to heal. This is in addition to the all the new and wonderful experiences we experience as a mum, becoming familiar with feeding, trying to rest, picking up and holding baby, and dealing with car seats! For all women, my focus at this time is to help restore, nurture and nourish. To gather in the open energy.
Touch forms a is a valuable part of the birthing recovery process, helping relieve stress and trauma and promoting physical recovery. Massage can help promote a positive relationship between mother, baby and father. It can help your postnatal recovery, supporting abdominal and pelvic floor toning, relieving back and shoulder tension, improving circulation and supporting energy flow. It also helps to promote sleep, giving space for rest and easing fatigue. It allows the mother space for emotional processing and help process any trauma that may have been experienced in birth, giving her valuable time to gather her energy. I work with your body encouraging release of tension and bringing you back to your centre.
I believe it is every woman’s right to receive excellent post natal care that nurtures, nourishes and supports her in her journey of transition to motherhood. I believe in the slow approach postpartum, in taking your time, nurturing the bond between you and your new family.
Sessions can be an hour or hour and a half, for more information contact me.

Closing The Bones
Closing the Bones supports your recovery after birth, both physically, emotionally and energetically. It’s a postnatal ritual that has its roots in South America, this has been lovingly handed down over generations. Closing the Bones provides space and profound stillness allowing deep healing and time to help your processing of birth, helping you to connect to your souls essence.
The session starts with a warm foot bath, with invigorating warming herbs, heat packs are placed on your womb and massage is gently introduced with warm flowing strokes, together with a deep abdominal and womb massage, bringing warmth and connection to your uterus, your whole body is then rocked gently, soothing the tension, and then wrapped with rebozos (shawls). Rocking helps to release fascial tension, wrapping allows the hips that have opened during birth to be gently closed. Wrapping gives a feeling of being cocooned, of returning to your womb space. Incorporated into this is a full body blessing, sound healing and energy healing.
This is a deeply soothing, relaxing and supportive process. The shawls envelop you – cocoon like – providing profound stillness, deep calm, time and space for you to emerge, your new self.
It’s an absolute pleasure to be able to offer this ceremony and I am honoured for you to receive it. Nothing is rushed, the gift is time, intention and love.
Sessions are 2 hours. Costs £120.
Gift vouchers are available for this.
