Remedial massage offers numerous benefits, including pain relief, improved circulation, and enhanced mobility. It targets specific areas of tension and dysfunction, promoting faster recovery from injuries and reducing muscle stiffness. Regular sessions can alleviate chronic pain, reduce stress, and improve overall physical and mental well-being. Ideal for all people with chronic conditions, remedial massage supports long-term health and wellness.

Internal Pelvic Release
Internal Pelvic Release Work addresses tension in the pelvis' soft tissues, promoting balance and health. Gentle touch and directed breathing release tension in ligaments, muscles, fascia, and organs, enhancing movement, flow, and emotional well-being.

Doula
Having a doula provides continuous emotional and physical support during childbirth, reducing anxiety and stress. Doulas offer expert guidance, enhance communication with medical staff, and contribute to shorter labor and fewer interventions, fostering a more positive birthing experience.

Community Events
My space hosts various community workshops, including mother support groups, new dad support groups, and menopausal support groups. These sessions offer a nurturing environment, fostering connection, sharing experiences, and providing valuable resources to navigate parenthood and menopause with confidence and support.
As per usual, this week's massage with Kathy addressed all the little niggles in my body, as well as ongoing back issues. She has magic hands that seek out all the problem bits, without me even having to point them out. I won't go to anyone else because I know I'll be disappointed. Such delightful company too.
