Osteopathy - Postnatal
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a beautiful approach to the harmony and health of the living body.
Osteopathy can facilitate and support this process by restoring movement, undo patterns of holding and bracing and acknowledge emotional components manifesting somatically in our bodies.
As an Osteopath I use gentle, hands-on treatments to recreate your body’s natural equilibrium, relieving pain and discomfort. Each treatment is unique resulting from a systematic assessment and diagnosis. Osteopathy helps to restore the optimal function of your body, allowing it to heal itself naturally.
How can Osteopathy support your recovery after giving birth?
Recovering from childbirth can take time, regardless of how smoothly the delivery went—and even more so if the birth was complicated. Giving birth is a physically demanding experience for every mother, and the recovery process can sometimes be overlooked in the midst of caring for a newborn.
However, the postpartum period is an ideal time to address any residual discomfort, as a woman’s body is often highly responsive in the weeks following labour.
Osteopathy can help you regain your strength and health, making it easier to meet the demands of new motherhood. Osteopathy can help you with:
- Post-natal check-up to support your well-being
- Rebalance any strains from pregnancy, birth and handling baby
- Nervous system regulation
- Coming home to your body
Also, if you’ve had a long or challenging labour, postnatal treatment can be particularly beneficial. Osteopathy can:
- Speed up your recovery by helping your body recover from the physical shock of birth
- Prevent long-term back and pelvic issues
Please note that treatment may leave you feeling a little tired afterward, so I recommend avoiding vigorous exercise for 48 hours following your appointment.
Typically, a treatment plan involves 2-4 sessions.

It’s back by popular demand!
Jasmine and Sophie are excited to bring you a very special Autumn Equinox Acupuncture & Soundbath session - tomorrow evening at Moon Women's Health, 63 Chetwynd Road, NW5.
This is a full mind-body reset. Specific acupuncture points gently stimulate the body’s calming hormones and restore inner balance, while Jasmine’s extraordinary sound bath works at a cellular level — waves of vibration dissolving stress and bringing the body back into harmony.
Together, it’s a rare kind of deep healing that modern life doesn’t usually allow.
We’re holding this gathering at the time of the Autumn Equinox, between a lunar eclipse, earlier this month, and a solar eclipse on 21st September. This is a time that supports clarity and fine-tuning, a powerful moment to reset routines, lighten the load, and realign with what truly supports you.
Fresh from her magical Italian wedding, Jasmine returns with a heart full of joy and new energy to share. Sophie has spent much of the summer by the sea and walking with friends, bringing grounded calm and collective love into the circle. Together, they’re ready to guide you into the new season with focus and a bit of magic.
Spaces are limited, and this time the session is open to both men and women — so feel free bring a partner or a friend who could use some deep restoration.

A wonderful new art piece, Hidden Connections, from the talented @jencableart
Just like our community at Moon, trees are communal beings. We all know that strong communities help us to navigate life's challenges and disasters. Being part of a community that shares resources, creates the kind of place we all want to live. The trees on Hampstead heath and in Highgate Woods are just the same. Rather than fighting each other for light and water, they join together with tiny fungal filaments to carry messages and transmit sugar from one tree to another to help each other survive. In turn supporting over 600 bird species and thousands of insect species.
Hidden Connections is a celebration of the times when we come together to help those in need; bringing food, medicine or companionship to those that are isolated wherever they are in the world.
Come and see it for yourself.
