Sculpt, tighten and improve the appearance of skin!

In my lymphatic treatments we don’t just focus on one area, we work through all the watersheds in the body for optimal drainage and benefits post treatment.

By opening lymphatic pathways we can manipulate fluid in the body- draining it away from areas it SHOULDN’T be to more desirable areas. For example AWAY from the lower thighs and knees and TOWARDS the bum.

For more info check my highlights or pop me a message!

Deep tissue massage isn’t about using as much pressure as possible, it’s about knowing when and where to apply it.

Every body tells a different story. That’s why being intuitive is one of the most important skills a massage therapist can have.

Sometimes tight muscles need firm, targeted pressure. Other times, they need slow, gentle techniques to allow the nervous system to relax before the tissue will release. Pushing harder isn’t always the answer. In fact, it can sometimes cause the body to guard even more.

During every treatment, I’m constantly assessing how your muscles respond, adapting my pressure, and working with your body, not against it.

The best results don’t come from the deepest pressure…
They come from the right pressure, in the right place, at the right time.

Another manual lymphatic with wood sculpting for this gorgeous mummy. We targeted lower belly bloat and water retention around the hips after two pregnancies in two years. This client has worked so hard taking care of herself and improving her fitness and strength recently and this treatment was the icing on the cake 🤍

This is something I’ve stayed quiet about for too long.

People see the finished treatment, but they don’t see everything that goes into it. They don’t see the rent I have to pay just to keep my business open. They don’t see the childcare I arrange so I can be there for your appointment. They don’t see the money I invest in products, training, insurance, and equipment. They don’t see the hours that go into running a business outside of appointments.

What they do see is someone they think it’s okay to let down.

No matter how I’m feeling, I turn up. If I’m tired, overwhelmed, stressed, or having a bad day, I still show up because that’s what professionals do. I don’t text you an hour before and say, “I can’t be bothered today.”

Yet somehow it’s become acceptable for beauticians to be treated this way.

Last-minute cancellations. No-shows. Turning up late without an apology. Messages saying, “I’ll pay you when I get paid” after you’ve already walked out feeling amazing.

Every missed appointment is money I can’t get back. Every late payment means I’m the one left worrying about how my rent, childcare, bills, and business expenses will be covered. Being self-employed doesn’t mean I have endless money sitting in the bank—it means if I don’t earn, I don’t get paid.

If you value my work enough to book with me, then please value my time enough to turn up, be on time, and pay when your appointment is finished.

To my loyal clients who support me, respect my time, and always show kindness—thank you. You are the reason I love what I do. 🤍

But being self-employed doesn’t mean my time is worth less. It doesn’t mean my bills matter less. It doesn’t mean I should have to chase payments or accept being treated as though my business isn’t a real business.

Respect my time.

Respect my business.

Respect the person behind it.

Because I deserve the same respect I give to every single client who walks through my door. ✨

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH! 5 weeks post-partum lymphatic drainage for me by me this morning and I’ve impressed myself with the results! 👶🏼🤍

A lot of my pregnancy weight was water weigh and at 5 weeks post partum I was still feeling a bit heavy and bloated. This morning I did (a version of) my lymphatic drainage on myself and was honestly shocked as to how much of the puffiness was just retained, stagnated fluid, especially around my diaphragm, waist and lower belly. Look at how the lower band of my bra sits before and after!

NOW being realistic, I was in good shape pre pregnancy and exercised and took care of my body throughout pregnancy so I had a good starting point when it came to post-partum recovery. I also had a relatively straight forward pregnancy and birth, HOWEVER taking care of your lymphatic system is going to be beneficial regardless of where you are in your recovery. It can take YEARS for hormones to balance after pregnancy and this can really affect how we feel in ourselves!

I treat clients in clinic from 6 weeks post-partum. Please note, I am only able to treat C-Section mamas from 12 weeks post-partum. If you would like lymphatic treatments before this period you need to see a therapist who specialises in advanced scar work. I don’t currently offer this but watch this space 😉
