ONE YEAR ago, I opened the door to my treatment room for the very first time 🤍

Dorset Pregnancy Therapies started with a simple wish. When I was pregnant, I couldn’t find the kind of holistic support I really needed, and as a midwife, I knew so many women felt the same.

This year I’ve been lucky enough to support women here in Poole through every stage, from thinking about a baby to the months after birth. I’ve also completed my Caesarean Section Scar Specialist training, something that means a lot to me after my own caesarean.

There have been busy weeks, quiet weeks & lots of learning.

To every woman who has trusted me with her care, every person who has shared, liked or recommended me, and my family who have cheered me on, thank you.

None of this happens without you. 💛

Here’s to year two, and to supporting many more of you. 🥂

That big step into the utility before treatment room? I actually quite like it 😊

If it gives you a twinge, you’ve come to the right place. And if pelvic pain makes it tricky, I’ve got a smaller step ready for you.

Hopefully by the end of your treatment package, you won’t even notice it.
Your comfort and safety always come first 💚

Did you know a "dissolvable" stitch doesn't always dissolve?

Recently I've been working with a client who is five months after her caesarean. I'd noticed a small darker patch on her scar and wondered if it might be an ingrown hair or a stitch that hadn't dissolved.

A week after one of her sessions, a stitch worked its way out. It wasn't painful, and she only noticed because she happened to look and see a small opening. Her GP confirmed what it was and she has a clear plan in place. 💊

It's good news. Scar therapy can sometimes encourage things like this to come to the surface in the days or weeks afterwards, and a stitch that's irritating the tissue is far better out than in!

Things you might notice on your own scar:

🔎A dark, red or raised spot.
🔎A small lump or a tender point.
🔎Something that looks like an ingrown hair but doesn't clear.

It's a good reminder to look at your scar now and then, not just feel it.
It deserves attention long after your six-week check.

Shared with my client's kind permission 💛

Tonight I'm lighting a candle for the Wave of Light 🕯️

Across the world, candles are lit at 7pm for an hour in every time zone, creating a wave of light in memory of every baby who has died during pregnancy, at birth or after.

Lighting a candle for every baby who was loved and longed for.
You are not forgotten🤍

Starting a business isn't just about what you offer. It's also about making new connections and getting the word out. 💛

I'll be honest, networking has always felt daunting to me, and I haven't tried many groups. But there's one where I always feel welcome: the Wimborne Wellness Networking event, run by Michelle.

I always leave feeling a bit more empowered and a little less alone, and in the early days of building something, that matters more than I expected 💕

If you're a local wellness business owner looking for a friendly, supportive room, I really recommend it.

This week is for every baby gone too soon, and for everyone who carries them.

As a midwife, I've sat with families in the hardest of moments. Loss doesn't follow a timeline. It can be weeks ago or decades ago, and it still deserves to be spoken about.

But you don't have to explain yourself here.

If you come to see me and mention a previous pregnancy or child loss, I'll only ask what I need to know to look after you safely.

If that's where you'd like to leave it, that's completely okay.

And if you'd like to talk about your baby, I'd be honoured to listen 🫶

Either way, there's an hour of quiet waiting where your shoulders can drop.

If you need support this week or any week you can contact , and .

“I didn’t realise I was doing that.”

Something I hear from women with Caesarean section scars often.

Getting into the car, getting out of bed, rolling over, bending down… you can quietly adapt how you move without even realising it.

I’ve recently been treating women who are 3+ years after their C-section. Having scar therapy has made them notice how much they’ve changed their movements to avoid discomfort.

Sometimes, your body has simply learnt a new way of moving.

And you don’t realise until that changes…

This one needed two pages… and honestly, it made me quite emotional. 🥹

This is everything I could dream of for my clients to feel: welcome, comfortable, nurtured and supported, from the first message to the moment they leave, and after.

Jayne has captured exactly that, and I'm so grateful for her words.
Thank you, Jayne. 🤍
