Whether you’re seeking physiotherapy, movement, recovery or relaxation, you’ll receive care that supports the whole woman.
Physiotherapy
Postnatal | assessment | Recovery
The Mummy MOT
A comprehensive postnatal assessment designed to support your recovery after birth.
A Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal examination for women following both vaginal and caesarean deliveries. It will assess how your posture, pelvic floor muscles and stomach muscles are recovering after birth. And if they’re not, then we can provide you with exercises and treatment to help in your recovery and to return to exercise safely.
Whether you’re six weeks, six months or several years postpartum, a Mummy MOT® provides an in-depth assessment of your core, pelvic floor, posture and movement. Together we’ll explore any symptoms, concerns or goals before creating a personalised recovery plan to help you regain confidence in your body and return to the activities you love.
Benefits:
• Support for bladder, bowel and prolapse symptoms
• Assessment of abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
• Guidance for safe return to exercise
• Improved confidence in your recovery journey
Deep Tissue | Massage | Recovery
Intuitive Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue work, led by clinical reasoning.
Before any pressure is applied, I take time to understand your body — your history, your posture, the patterns behind where tension has settled — so the treatment is shaped by why it’s there, not just where you feel it. This is firm, focused bodywork grounded in physiotherapy training and guided by intuitive touch, working into the deeper layers of muscle to release chronic tightness, adhesions, and areas of restriction. Deeper and more direct than a relaxation massage, with pressure always adjusted to what your tissue needs.
Benefits:
• Clinically reasoned treatment, tailored to what your body is holding
• Releases chronic muscular tension and adhesions
• Improves mobility and reduces stiffness
• Addresses the root of the pattern, not just where it hurts

FAQs
Do I need a GP referral? No, you can choose to come whenever you like.
Can I bring my baby? Routinely, the space is intended for mothers to have a calming quiet space to themselves. However if you can not get childcare for your baby at the time of your appointment, then you can bring them (just let me know in advance so I can set up the space accordingly). The space is not suitable for crawling age and above.
What should I wear? Anything comfortable that you feel relaxed in.
Is internal examination compulsory for The Mummy MOT appointment? No - an internal examination is an optional part of the assessment. Whilst some women choose to have this assessment to help guide their recovery, others will prefer not to. Either way we can still provide support and a treatment plan individual to you.
Testimonials
Great experience with Rachel for some 1:1 pregnancy physio assessment and treatments. Rachel was lovely throughout and was able to provide plenty of tips and advice to help relieve some of the pain and discomfort. Highly recommend for anyone with pregnancy related pain. Thanks again Rachel!
rACHEL C - GOOGLE REVIEW
I’ve been going to Rachel for crystal healing sessions for a couple of years now and she’s helped me with a wide range of issues from anxiety, depression, plantar fasciitis amongst others.
Most recently I had a patch of sensitive skin on my face - no rash, or anything noticeable. One of the crystals vibrated around this area and within 48 hrs of the treatment the sensitivity was gone.
I also had significant calf pain that had persisted for about 6 weeks. I suspected it was linked to muscle spasms in my feet. Almost immediately the muscle spasms had lessened, and again within 48 hrs the pain was gone.
