Senquility Body Therapy

09/09/2026

Over the last three years, Senquility has naturally changed.

I still see people for different reasons, but more and more of my work now centres around Manual Lymphatic Drainage.

Lipoedema.
Swelling and heaviness.
Post-surgery recovery.
Changes after cancer treatment.
And sometimes simply bodies that feel puffy, uncomfortable or overwhelmed.

MLD is the work I find myself wanting to learn more about, talk about more and specialise in more.

So over the coming months, you’ll probably notice Senquility becoming a little more focused around lymphatic health.

And alongside my treatment room, I’m also building Lipoedema Unlocked — somewhere women with, or suspecting, lipoedema can understand their body better and learn practical ways to support themselves day to day.

It feels like a very natural next step.

I've been quietly working on something… ♡

Over the last couple of years, I've had more and more conversations with women living with — or wondering if they may have — Lipoedema.

And I keep hearing the same questions.

What should I actually be doing?
Should I wear compression?
What exercise is best?
Does MLD help?
Why do I feel worse some days?
Am I doing enough?

And underneath all of those questions is usually the same thing…

“I just want to understand my body.”

So I've been building something...

Lipoedema Unlocked

An online space for women with Lipoedema — whether you've been diagnosed, suspect you may have it, or are still figuring things out.

A place to learn, ask questions, try things, track what you notice and gradually discover what helps your body.

Less guessing. More understanding. More confidence.

I'm still putting the finishing touches together, but the waitlist is officially OPEN.

If this sounds like something you've been looking for, you can join here

And if you know someone who might need this, please feel free to share it with them. ♡

If you have Lipoedema, have you ever tried Manual Lymphatic Drainage? ♡

A lot of the women with Lipoedema who come to see me aren't really sure what MLD is — or whether it could help them.

MLD is a very gentle, specialised treatment designed to support the lymphatic system and encourage the movement of lymph fluid.

For Lipoedema, it wont "cure" the condition.

But it can be a really lovely part of managing how your body feels.

Women often come to me when their legs or arms are feeling:

♡ Heavy
♡ Achy or tender
♡ Puffy or tight
♡ Uncomfortable after being on their feet
♡ Just generally in need of some support

And one of the things I hear most after treatment is simply...

"My legs feel lighter."

If you have Lipoedema — or suspect you may have it — you're very welcome to come and see me.

You don't need to know exactly what you need before you book. We can talk through what's going on and tailor the treatment to you. ♡

I've been quietly working on something… ♡

Over the last year, I've worked with more and more women with Lipoedema — and women who strongly suspect they may have it.

And I keep hearing the same questions.

What should I actually be doing?
Does MLD help?
Should I wear compression?
What exercise is best?
Why do I feel worse some days?
Am I doing enough?

There is information out there.

But actually working out what that means for your body and your everyday life is another story.

So I've been building something I've wanted to create for a while.

It's called Lipoedema Unlocked ♡

A practical online space for women with Lipoedema — diagnosed or not — to understand their bodies, discover what helps and feel more confident managing things day to day.

It's nearly ready, and I'm genuinely so excited to finally start sharing it.

I'll show you more very soon. 👀

Can I ask a question?

Over the past few months, I've seen more and more women coming to me with lipoedema or wondering if they have it.

One thing keeps coming up in almost every appointment.

It's not the treatment itself.

It's what happens between appointments.

Questions like:

• What should I be doing each day?
• Is this normal?
• Does anyone else get this?
• Should I be walking more?
• Does diet actually make a difference?
• How do I know if something is helping?

It's made me realise there isn't much ongoing support once you leave the studio.

So I'm working on something to change that.

If you have lipoedema (or think you might), I'd love to ask you one question...

What's the ONE thing you wish someone had explained to you sooner?

I'd genuinely love to hear your answer.

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is supporting women after breast cancer treatment. 💗

For some women, lymph nodes have been removed.

For others, they haven't.

But many are left with questions like...

"Will I get lymphoedema?"

"Why does my arm feel tight?"

"Why does my chest feel swollen or uncomfortable?"

"Will this feeling ever go away?"

Manual Lymphatic Drainage can be a gentle way to support your recovery.

⭐ It can help encourage healthy lymphatic flow.

⭐ It can help manage swelling and feelings of heaviness.

⭐ It can ease tightness around the chest, shoulder and arm.

⭐ It gives your nervous system a chance to slow down after everything your body has been through.

One thing that's really important is that treatment should always be tailored to **your** surgery.

If you've had lymph nodes removed, your lymphatic pathways have changed. That's why understanding those changes and working with them is so important.

Every breast cancer journey is different, and every treatment should be too.

If you've been through breast cancer and you're wondering whether MLD could help, I'm always happy to have a chat. 🤍

Have you heard of Lipoedema?

Most people haven't.

Yet it's thought to affect around 1 in 9 women.

It's often mistaken for being overweight, lymphoedema, or simply "the way your legs are."

But it's a recognised medical condition, and understanding the difference can be life changing.

⭐ Lipoedema is a condition that causes an abnormal build up of fat, usually in the legs, hips, buttocks and sometimes the arms. It often starts around puberty, pregnancy or menopause and can be painful, tender and bruise easily.

⭐ Lymphoedema is different. It's caused by a problem with the lymphatic system, where fluid builds up because it isn't draining properly. It can happen after cancer treatment, surgery, infection or for other medical reasons.

One important thing to know is that you can have both conditions at the same time, which is known as lipo-lymphoedema.

As a Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapist, I see women who have spent years wondering why their legs feel heavy, painful or swollen, often believing they just need to lose weight.

Sometimes, the answer is much more complicated than that.

If you've never heard of Lipoedema before, you're certainly not alone. The more we talk about it, the more women can get the support and understanding they deserve. 💚

I've been a little quieter on here this past week...

But I've been busy doing what I love most – looking after people in the studio. 💚

One thing that has come up in almost every appointment recently is the heat.

So many people have said the same things:

⭐ "My legs feel so much heavier."

⭐ "My ankles are swelling by the end of the day."

⭐ "My rings feel tight."

⭐ "I just feel puffy all over."

If that's been you, you're definitely not alone.

Hot weather makes our blood vessels widen to help cool us down, which can allow more fluid to settle in the tissues. If you have lipoedema, lymphoedema, are going through menopause, or are simply prone to swelling, you'll often notice it even more.

Over the next few days, be kind to your body.

Take a short walk rather than sitting for hours.

Keep your water intake up.

Put your legs up when you get home.

And don't feel guilty for slowing down a little.

If you're coming to see me this week, the treatment room is fully air conditioned, so we can keep it at a comfortable temperature throughout your treatment. It might seem like a small thing, but when you're feeling hot and swollen, it can make all the difference.

Here's to a cooler, more comfortable week ahead. ☀️🧊

❄️ the studio is fully air conditioned ❄️

It looks like we're in for another hot week... ☀️

If you're someone who struggles with swelling, heavy legs, lipoedema, lymphoedema or even menopause, you might already be feeling the effects.

You're not imagining it.

Hot weather can make swelling worse, leaving your legs, feet and hands feeling heavier, tighter and more uncomfortable than usual.

So over the next few days, be kind to your body.

⭐ Keep moving with short walks rather than one long one.

⭐ Drink plenty of water.

⭐ Elevate your legs when you get the chance.

⭐ Stay cool wherever possible.

And if you're coming to see me this week, don't worry about the heat...

The treatment room is fully air conditioned, so we can keep it at a comfortable temperature throughout your treatment. For many of my clients, that makes all the difference.

Take it easy this week, and remember... your body is working hard to keep you cool. 💚
