In today’s episode, I’m joined by the lovely Nikki, remedial massage therapist, fitness professional, studio owner, and busy mum of three. Nikki has a passion for helping people find balance between physical and mental well-being.

Together, we dive into the often-overlooked world of Caesarians (c-sections), what really happens to the body, the healing that’s needed beyond the scar, and how therapy like remedial massage can support recovery.

Have a 'mum shelf' so many talk about and struggle to get rid of, we discuss a powerful technique to improve it in one practice!!

So whether you’ve had a C-section, are planning for one, or work with postpartum women, this conversation is packed with insight and support.
