I am no longer accepting new client assessment bookings as I prepare for maternity leave. My leave will begin at the end of November, with plans to gradually return in early spring 2027.
Current clients: Please email me if you are interested in being added to my return waitlist, and I’ll be in touch as my schedule opens up.
Thank you for your understanding and support during this exciting time ☺︎

FAQ
-
Is it too late to treat my scar?
- It's never too late to start. Even years, or decades later, scar tissue can adapt. -
When Can I massage my C-section scar?
- As soon as the scar has closed and there is no sign of infection you are able to start touching and massaging your scar. -
Can physio help my C-section shelf or overhang?
- Although the focus is to improve mobility and function and I do try to avoid the aesthetic element, improving deep scar tissue can improve the aesthetic of the scar and improve the common shelf or overhang.
