Massage & bodywork

I mix therapeutic touch, wrapping and ritual with techniques rooted in anatomical understanding to support your post birth recovery both spiritually and physically.

Massage & bodywork

I am trained in Swedish Massage but draw influence from my experience in therapeutic assists within my yoga training, my anatomical knowledge and energetic training (reiki and yin). I aim for my treatments to not only provide physical release from stored up tension, but a real moment of nurturing, so you can be held and release anything that’s hanging over you physically or emotionally.

I provide a safe space for you to be looked after and nourished.

Postnatal recovery massage

A unique technique grounded in both science and tradition, Lucy trained with doula and birth educator Sophie Messager and osteopath Teddy Brookes to deliver this practice, designed to gently encourage recovery, restore and nurture a new mother and help treat the changes and discomfort brought on by pregnancy and birth.

You do not need to be newly postpartum for this treatment. It’s beneficial for mums at any stage post-birth.

Closing the bones

A postpartum ceremony that holds you through your transition of maiden to mother, involving both the massage element, gentle rocking with the cloths and wrapping the body from head to feet. The physical compression signals safety to the nervous system, helps realign the body and symbolises being held and reborn.

You don’t have to be newly postpartum to receive this. It’s deeply healing at any stage of life, motherhood or transitions.

FAQs

  • I typically do home visits in the Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire areas, as the comfort of your home can provide a nurturing setting. But I can book a room either at the Yogashed in Hitchin or The Happy Body Project in Clophill.

  • That really is up to you. If you feel ready, I’m ready.

  • I would typically ask us to wait 6 weeks and ensure your scar isn’t red, sore, leaky or show signs of infection.

  • Great! I can work with you to tailor a session that suits your bespoke needs. If you wanted to keep the massage and ritual separate, that’s fine. Or I can create a more blended session.

  • The more the merrier. Women heal women, so having trusted women in your space to support you is welcome and I can involve them in your ceremony.

  • I charge £55 for massage, £65 for postnatal recovery and closing the bones will be a bespoke cost dependent on your requirements.

  • No. Massage is available for all women at any life stage. The techniques provided in the postpartum recovery session are proven to be physically beneficial for all ages.
