Hi, my name is Joanne and I am a mum to two beautiful souls, Amberlily and Cian and wife to my wonderful husband Bill. Looking back at my journey through life there has been many twists and turns, good times and struggles but i feel a common thread that has helped me through those challenges is my belief and trust in the sacred, the magic that keeps life alive and flowing. I have always been drawn to touch and its innate qualities of nurturance and connection. I studied massage therapy and became a Massage Therapist in 2001. I then travelled extensively to different countries to experience new cultures and often learnt new massage techniques along the way. I have a great love of healing through bodywork on a subtle level that can transform the physical. After having my own children I trained to be a Birth and Postpartum Doula and feel like I found my calling nurturing women in this profound time of their lives. I especially enjoy working with women and babies in the Postpartum Window, honouring this rite of passage with reverence and ritual.
Helping to uncover and resolve past blocks in the physical and energetic bodies. An exceptionally transformative treatment using massage and energetic balancing asking you to connect with the deeper aspects of self.
Supporting your changing body through pregnancy and holding you emotionally at this special time. Helping you relax so that you may uncover and let go of any fears you are holding. Allowing a deep connection between mother and baby.
Nurturing your body, mind and soul after the birth of your baby. Allowing you to rest deeply and receive loving touch as you go through the transformation of becoming a new mother, whether for the first time or subsequent times. A wonderful way to aid your recovery, soothe the nervous system and rejuvenate your body.
The postpartum period is a special time for you to get to know and deeply bond with your baby, establish breastfeeding and rest and recover after birth through nourishing food, bodywork and support. This sacred window is traditionally the first 42 days after birth and it is a unique time which Ayurveda identifies as a "kyakalpa" or "body time". For the new mother it is a time of renewal and rejuvenation, a period of integration: intuition is heightened and the body is ready to receive. We are all unique in our needs at this time so my services encompass a variety of care so that each session is tailored to the individual. Every woman I support is honoured for her unique beliefs, constitution, family structure and needs as I seek to create a sacred space for the Postpartum Window.
