Little Therapy Space

I often struggle to give myself a title of sorts or explain exactly what I do!

Although I have specialised in working with women I haven’t narrowed it down massively to just a certain age or issue.

I am passionate about working with women who want support in looking after their own body holistically rather than just dealing with their pain or discomfort. They want to know why, what causes their issue so they can help themselves too.

I like to look at the body as a whole rather than just treat ‘the issue’ because this is the only way we can move forward.

I am qualified to the highest level in Clinical massage therapy but I still haven’t stopped learning, reading, researching and making sure I am top of my game.

It’s not just about doing loads of courses but making sure I learn from those who can advance my own knowledge and then put that knowledge into practise.

I am forever grateful for being able to do what I do and having my clients trust to support them well throughout pregnancy, postnatally, post c section, through gynae ops, cancer ops, through to menopause.

I bring together nutrition, exercise, stretching, body awareness, massage and a whole lot of empathy! Being able to listen and support are important and they are very much part of my sessions too!

Thank you for being here and trusting and supporting me too ❣️

Pregnancy pain is not normal. You should not feel pain, this is a sign your body is telling you that something is amiss.

PGP or SPD can be so debilitating as I know from personal experience and can make your pregnancy feel so much harder than it needs too.

I did my dissertation on this and over the years I have helped so many women walk out of my room in less or no pain at all.

My knowledge and many years of experience has equipped me with a toolbox of techniques to help you. The site of your pain/discomfort is very rarely the cause so I need to assess firstly then treat and then give you some homework to do. This will be specific for you, to help you move forward without pain.

Please don’t think that being in pain in pregnancy is normal and to put up with it.

We talk a lot about engaging the pelvic floor muscles and contracting them, also known as doing ‘kegels’.

Having a strong pelvic floor throughout our life is essential and we need this during pregnancy, labour and our postnatal life as well as the rest of our lives!

To be able to ‘birth’ our baby vaginally we need to be able to soften and lengthen our muscles and many mums find this hard.

Why? Because we spend our lives with our body switched on and a lot of us grip our tummy muscles, pelvic floor, inner thighs and glutes. Allow a ‘release’ to soften and lengthen can be really hard.

Practise breathing in and on an exhale just allowing this softening and lengthening to happen.

Save this video so you can practise the moves throughout your pregnancy and postnatal life. These are especially useful if you’re struggling with leaking or mild incontinence.

If you join my pregnancy or postnatal exercise classes we go through these a lot….they are key to helping your mobility and strength 💪🏻

I love using visualisations to help my mums prepare for labour and to use in labour itself.

Because of the shape of the pelvis I think it’s thought that our baby will drop down in to the pelvis and out like a basket ball going into a hoop but that’s not the case.

The baby needs to navigate the bony structures within the pelvis so there are a series of rotations they need to do and they often need help from us to make these movements!

Think about your baby being the last piece of the puzzle…it never just slots in we need to wiggle and jiggle it in and this is a great way to imagine the baby entering the pelvis!

Imagine it, manifest it and allow your body to move with the baby to support them.

Pregnancy massage….such a beautiful treatment to give a mother to be.

You may be coming because you are in discomfort or pain and need some help to work out what’s causing it and get it treated or you may be coming because you just want to relax and find some precious special time for you ❣️

Whatever your reason you will be welcomed in and I will make the session specific to your needs and how you’re feeling.

Suitable from 12 weeks till your baby arrives and I have had several mums arrive in early labour and that is absolutely fine. You are in very safe hands with me.

The ‘Nurture for Labour’ is a specific massage once you have reached 37 weeks where I can use some beautiful oils and specific acupressure, reflexology points and guided meditation to prepare your body for labour. Make sure you book this one in advance!

Did you have a pregnancy massage with me? How did you find it? I’d love to know 🥰

Massive thanks to my beautiful model Liz and her amazing husband Adam both of for making this video for me 🙏
