WOMB HEALER

“The condition of women’s wombs also directly reflects the condition of women’s minds, spirits and actions. The womb is a storehouse of all of our emotions.” Queen Afua

 

Mizan Therapy

  • OVERVIEW

    Mizan Therapy offers empowering support to women with a variety of issues relating to menstrual and reproductive health, the digestive system and emotional health. Physical symptoms that can be helped with Mizan include displaced or prolapsed uterus and/or bladder, heavy, painful and/or irregular periods, fibroids, PCOS, fertility problems and/or miscarriage and digestive issues such as IBS, reflux and/or chronic indigestion / heartburn.

    On an energetic level our wombs store all of our feelings and emotions, including past traumas. I will often find that women present with specific physical issues and will experience emotional release during our work together.

    Women in many cultures around the world receive regular womb massage at all stages of life, not just in their childbearing years. I work with women from menarche to menopause and beyond. I also work with women who no longer have a womb, perhaps due to hysterectomy, because even though you may not have a physical womb you will still have an energetic womb and on a physical level it is important to continue to support the remaining pelvic organs.

    I also offer sessions tailored to pregnant and postnatal women, please see below for more information.

  • APPROACH

    I offer a holistic and bespoke approach to my work. Through our work together I will support you to develop a loving and nurturing relationship with your body.

    In the western world there is much that can create imbalance within our bodies and during our sessions together we will explore your physical symptoms and any lifestyle factors that may be influencing what you are experiencing. I will offer you massage and I will guide you in creating a bespoke self-care plan integrating things such as herbs, self-massage, yoni steaming and castor oil packs and perhaps some spiritual practices too as well as other lifestyle changes to bring back and to support balance not only in our womb space, but throughout our bodies and even our lives.

    To lay a strong foundation to our work together and to really begin to address some of your issues it is recommended that you have a series of three treatments the frequency of which will depend on your issue and we can discuss this in detail at your first session. I offer these at a discounted rate when paid for in advance.

    We will allow up to two and a half hours for your first session and this will include going through a detailed case history as well as creating your personalised plan to support your body. I will also teach you how to self-massage between treatments, as well as offering you Mizan massage. This may sound like a lot of information to take in, but I will provide you with handouts to remind you when you get home and will email you a link to the Mizan self-massage video too.

    Please allow up to an hour and a half for followup sessions to include consultation and Mizan massage.

Mizan Therapy for Pregnancy

  • OVERVIEW

    Mizan Therapy in pregnancy is relaxing and enjoyable for both mum and baby. The massage can help to ease symptoms of sickness, swollen ankles and/or tired legs, PGP (pelvic girdle pain / SPD), tired legs and fluid retention through improving circulation. Mizan Therapy also brings and supports balance in the pelvic area and relaxes and strengthens abdominal muscles, which encourages optimal positioning ahead of the birth leading to a smoother and more gentle birth for you and your baby.

    Through our work together you will connect with your own body and your baby. The women I support during pregnancy tell me that spending time on themselves through Mizan is an important part of their birth preparation. As well as bringing a sense of connection with your body, Mizan can bring about a sense of calm and confidence as you prepare for labour and birth helping to build a sense of trust in your amazing body.

  • APPROACH

    Our daily activities often offer little to encourage the space needed in the pelvis for our babies to come into an optimal position for birth. During our sessions we will explore techniques you can use between our sessions to encourage the space your baby needs. I will also show you the Mizan self-massage for pregnancy so you can spend time at home connecting with your body and your baby, as well as introducing you to some breathing techniques to promote a sense of calm relaxation both during pregnancy and when you come to birth your baby. I will send you a guided meditation for you to use at home too.

    To lay a strong foundation to our work together please allow up to 2 and a half hours for your first session with me. Your session will include going through a detailed case history as well as creating your personalised plan to support your body and I will teach you how to self-massage between treatments as well as offering you Mizan massage. This may sound like a lot of information to take in, but I will provide you with handouts to remind you when you get home and will email you a link to the Mizan self-massage video too.

Postnatal Mizan Therapy

  • OVERVIEW

    In the weeks following birth Mizan Therapy can lay the foundation of your body’s recovery from birth. I will offer you massage and I will guide you in creating a bespoke self-care plan integrating things such as herbs, self-massage, yoni steaming and castor oil packs and perhaps some spiritual practices too as well as other lifestyle enhancements to support your post-birth recovery.

    During this period, often referred to as the fourth trimester, it is vital mother and baby remain together as much as possible. With this in mind I will seek to offer to travel to you so you may receive postnatal Mizan massage in your own home with help on hand for your baby so you can truly relax and enjoy your massage.

  • APPROACH

    I am able to offer Mizan massage from around 10-14 days following birth provided you had a vaginal birth. If you had a cesarean or abdominal birth I am able to offer Mizan massage once you have had your 6 week check with your GP. However, I would recommend booking in for your first session as soon as possible (even if you haven’t yet had your baby) so we can create a personalised self-care plan for you to begin as soon as possible following birth and we can discuss when you may begin to receive Mizan massage.

    To lay a strong foundation to our work together please allow up to 3 hours for your first session following birth with me. Your session will include a birth exploration where I will hold space for you to share your birth story with me if you should wish as well as creating your personalised plan to support your body. I will also teach you how to self-massage between treatments as well as offering you Mizan massage. This may sound like a lot of information to take in, but I will provide you with handouts to remind you when

“A woman connected to her womb and the rhythms of her life, walks in many worlds. She moves purposefully, confidently through our world guided by the knowing of her inner voice; so deep is her understanding of herself.”

Testimonials

“Having Helen as my doula during and after pregnancy was the best decision I ever made. Helen made me feel so supported through the whole experience. She was always there to answer any questions I had and provided unbiased information when I needed advise. Due to her continued support I was able to decide how I wanted my birth plan to be and went on to have a lovely birth experience. I highly recommend Helen to anyone who is pregnant. She is a genuinely lovely person to have hold space for you :)”

Cheryl, High Wycombe

“I have been having Mizan therapy sessions with Helen throughout the 3rd trimester of my pregnancy which I have found to be incredibly helpful to prepare for the birth of my first baby. The sessions are a mixture of discussion and massage, which I feel worked really well together. I was also invited to release my fears and welcome in what I actually want during the sessions which I found incredibly powerful! Helen is an amazing space holder and fountain of knowledge. As a first time mum to be I felt anxious when we first began our sessions together, my head was spinning, but now I am feeling calm and empowered ready for whatever is to come. I highly recommend Helen, not just for mums to be, but for any woman who is going through a life changing transition and needs support emotionally, physically & spiritually. I am so pleased that I honoured myself and my baby by working with an experienced Doula in this way.”

Corinna, High Wycombe

“Through Mizan with Helen I gained a stronger connection with my body, my womb space in particular. I felt released on a deep level. I felt more aligned. Helen created a calm, nurturing space for me and sprinkled what felt like, well, magic. Mizan with Helen is a wonderful experience for mind and body.”

Cara, Maidenhead

“I was looking online for some postpartum doula support and came across Helen’s website which immediately caught my eye… she seemed perfect. We had a chat on the phone to discuss what support I felt I might want and something compelled me to ask if she was by anychance free for the birth which wasn’t too far off … and she was! We already had a private midwife on board and weren’t looking for a doula but it just felt right to bring Helen into the fold and have her on our birthing team, and I am so glad we did. Helen held space beautiful in the build up, the birth and weeks following. I felt she read me really well and struck a good balance of being there and giving me space… which was exactly what I needed.

Helen is very intuitive and supported both myself and my husband to discover any fears or blinds spots around birth and parenthood. My last appointment was a closing of bones ceremony that Helen facilitated - it was gorgeous.

I felt fully supported and held my Helen, she is a wonderful doula.”

Caz, Wendover

“ My Mizan therapy with Helen was wonderful. She had a natural motherly and caring presence and I felt very looked after and safe in her hands. The treatment left me feeling very relaxed and was both an emotional and physical cleanse. I would highly recommend Helen as a Mizan Therapist.”

Willow, Beaconsfield

“There are simply no words to describe how incredibly grateful I am that Helen came into our lives. I could not imagine my birth story without her present. She really was a huge part of our journey Leading up to my son's birth, during labour and postnatally. Hiring her was honestly the best decision myself and my partner made. She was there through all the incredible highs and momentary lows offering incredible advice and just generally being the best human. I can honestly say she shaped our story into its beautiful being which could have been very different due to issues spotted late in my pregnancy. She very much stopped it being a very traumatic event for us all. She was there when no one was listening to us with a wealth of knowledge, the best shoulder to cry on she enabled us to move forward and I can honestly say my labour and birth experience was the best moment of my life. I get teary just thinking about our time together, she is a true friend that I will never forget. I can say with certainty her purpose in life is to help birthing people feel safe and loved and you will not regret your decision in opening your door and heart and letting her in.”

Carly, Langley

“Helen guided me through my second pregnancy, as after my first birth I was scared. Thanks to her wonderful guidance I not only got the birth I wanted but I left the hospital feeling proud. I had my baby close to how I had originally wanted (I wanted a water birth but ended up having him on the floor haha!) I cannot reccomend her highly enough. Since my time with Helen she has expanded onto new and exciting things. Should I have another baby in the future I will most certainly be coming back.”

Holli, Online

“ When I was in labour Helen answered the phone straight away and came to us as soon as we asked her to. She stayed with us for 24 hours in total! Helen set-up a cozy environment in the hospital and was encouraging and patient throughout. Following the birth, Helen was in touch almost every day to check in and offer advice. Helen is amazing. She listens and gives appropriate advice without judging. Easily available and happy to help, even when she wasn't call.”

Marie, Thame

“My Closing the Bones Ritual by Helen was a truly nurturing and healing experience. I was made to feel safe and comfortable and felt like I was able to open up and share my past emotional struggles. I have chronic pain surrounding my abdomen area so i am naturally very protective of this space. The massage component of the treatment was so beneficial and I felt my pain gradually ease. I would highly recommend this to everyone, not just mothers who may have had a traumatic birth experience. I felt completely relaxed and re-set, feeling energized and de-stressed.”

Carly, Marlow

“I recently had the pleasure of receiving a Closing the Bones healing session from Helen. I was blown away by the feeling of warmth and connection to something deep within me. Helen is a gentle and skilled practitioner and she made me feel safe and nurtured. The session felt like a sacred ceremony and afterward I felt calm and peaceful, feelings which lasted beyond the session itself. I loved it and would highly recommend for any woman who wants to dive deeper into who she really is. Thank you, Helen!”

Kia, High Wycombe

“I first got in touch with Helen when pregnant with my fourth child, having experienced some birth trauma during my third delivery. Helen was able to provide me with help and guidance to assist with my recovery and then went on to support me to prepare for a positive experience for the birth. I loved her positivity, honesty, helpfulness, calm and practical knowledge in a friendly but professional way.”

Emma, Marlow

“Having a doula was important to me due to some negative experiences in hospital in the past. Immediately I felt a connection with Helen and from the very start her knowledge and warm manner gave me confidence. It was also very important to me that my husbands role wasn't undermined in any way and Helen was just as much a support for him as she was for me. She played such an important part in both of our experiences during the birth of our daughter.”

/Holly-Chalfonts

“I brought on Helen as my doula for the birth of my second daughter. I really couldn't recommend her more, she brought with her such a wealth of wisdom and experience. Her knowledge of all things birth is expansive and she gave me very valuable guidance on how to navigate dealing with the NHS when I was running well past my due date and was very keen to avoid induction and have an intervention free birth at home. My birth experience was really amazing, I honestly don't think it could have been more positive, and I know this was largely due to Helen's consistent support, encouragement, sage advice and all round wonderful service as doula for the birth of my baby. Thank you so much Helen!”
