Whether this was an elective or unplanned Caesarean, this major surgery can impact both your physical and emotional wellbeing.
YOU MAY FEAR THAT ….
You will not gain your strength back
Your scar will remain numb and a place of disconnect.
The possibility of a VBAC( vaginal birth after Caesarean) is unreachable.
You can’t look at your body without it being traumatic or inciting critical thought..
Your experience has affected your bond with your baby.
YOU MAY FEEL THAT ….
You are the only mother who feels this way.
You have ‘failed’ because you didn’t have a vaginal birth.
You didn’t give birth or failed to birth baby ‘properly’ or ‘naturally.
Sadness that what you expected/planned/looked forward to didn’t go to plan.
Overwhelmed and uncertain.
You have been let down by the NHS or midwife.
You were given misleading information.
Spoken to in a negative way.
You were not listened to.
You were ignored
Not given a choice
‘Bullied’ or coerced into making a decision.
If any of this resonates with you then this time spent together can help you process and unpack your experience.
We will then work together to help reconnect you with your body and your birth scar through self touch, massage, breath, movement and yoga.
These sessions take place either at my home in Stamford or at your house (in and the surrounding areas of Stamford).
I can work around your baby and family, however, a deep presence to this process is required so if you can get childcare then this is preferred.
Depending on your experience you may benefit from up to 3 sessions.
1.5 hour treatment | £90 – £120 (at my home or yours)

I sought out the help of Julie as I thought I had never been quite right since the birth of my last child (7 years ago) and I had unexpected pain in my abdomen. Doctors could find no cause of pain so I felt it was a muscular skeletal problem which does not show up on their tests. 3 months of daily exercises have completely changed my abdomen. I’ve worked on Julie’s exercises and managed to also sort out a long standing shoulder problem while I was fixing my core. There will never be a time in my future when I do not practice yoga now. Thank you for the gift of body knowledge.

In August 2020 I experienced an incredibly traumatic birth with my son that resulted in a full blood transfusion and time in ICU, along with an extended period in hospital away from him. Once I got home, rather than enjoying my new born I was beginning to experience increasing anxiety, fear and depression. A number of friends had recommended Julie and I was also aware of her work from the yoga community, so I approached her for some support. Upon meeting I immediately felt at ease-Julie has an incredibly warm, nurturing and kind soul and welcomed me with open arms. We spent time talking through my experience before working through some of the physical and psychological effects of childbirth. Her hands-on approach was incredibly nurturing and I felt truly heard and held. She truly is a Mother in every sense of the word and I can‘t recommend her highly enough to expectant and new mothers.

I had a one to one massage session with Julie when I was heavily pregnant and in a lot of pain with my hands. Not only was it a lovely relaxing experience when I was playing the waiting game but the massage and DoTerra cream really helped my painful hands and she also trained my partner Dan to do the hand massage for me afterwards. Julie’s endless dedication to women’s wellbeing is priceless, she cares and reassures and also provides practical exercises and tips to assist post birth recovery. I left each class feeling positive, charged up and back on track – enough to keep me going until the next class. Massive thank you Julie!
