Abdominal Scar Release
This approach is designed to gently work through the layers of scar tissue after a caesarean birth or abdominal surgery, supporting both the physical and emotional healing process. It doesn’t matter if your scar is eight weeks old or eighty years old. Scar tissue can still impact how your body moves and feels.
An abdominal scar can affect more than just the surface. It may contribute to pain, numbness, pulling sensations, or a sense of disconnection from your core. For some, it can also influence posture, breathing, digestion, or pelvic floor function. In many cases, these symptoms are brushed off as a normal part of recovery, but they don’t have to be.
Scar release therapy aims to reduce adhesions and restrictions in the tissue, improve circulation and mobility, and help you reconnect with your body.
Treatment is always tailored to your comfort level and where you're at in your recovery journey. This work is gentle and effective, with take home advice that you can implement to continue seeing benefits from our sessions together.
If you’ve been feeling tightness, restriction, pain or a sense of your belly feeling not quite right after surgery or birth, this treatment can offer a real sense of relief and reconnection.

I bring a holistic, whole-person approach to every session. With over 13 years of hands-on experience in the industry, there’s not much I haven’t seen or treated!
As both a clinical myotherapist and a doula, I am especially passionate about supporting pregnant clients. Whether you’re navigating pelvic girdle pain, struggling to get comfy, or simply wanting to slow down and reconnect with your body and baby through massage, I have got you.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. I love supporting women through every season of life. From helping new grandmas get down on the floor to play with their grandbabies, to educating young women about pelvic floor health, and even supporting clients preparing to start a family with targeted, proactive care.
While my heart lies in women’s health, I welcome anyone who feels myotherapy might help them move and feel better.
Some of my favourite things to support clients with include:
