I’ve been attending Natasha’s mat Pilates sessions for several years, great all round and varied workouts, and she has a great eye for detail and encouragement to improve technique, and breathing!! 😊
I was kindly gifted a pregnancy massage with Natasha and thoroughly enjoyed it. Natasha instantly put me at ease and gave me great advice. Thankfully when meeting Natasha she also mentioned c-section scar massage sessions which i didnt know exsisted. I am currently 5 months postpartum and recently went for a c-section scar massage, it was amazing! Not only was it relaxing but I experienced great results after just 1 session, I would highly recommend having a session with Natasha.I am looking forward to having more scar massage sessions and trying out the pilates sessions too 🙂
I was fortunate to be recommended Natasha for massage when I was suffering with stiff sore muscles in my back. Gentle and thorough, she eased them back into full mobility. I also had the scar massage which improved and balanced my abdominal muscles even though it was many years since the surgery. Having had massages many times before from others, Natasha has been the best!
I enrolled because of lower back pain related to poor core muscle strength (I also have recti divarication and bulging spinal discs). Pilates came by recommendation from a rheumatologist. I am so glad I started Pilates with Natasha. After five months I'm starting to feel less intense back ache for the first time in years. Natasha's way of guiding you through the moves, encouraging, supportive, knowledgeable and personalised ensuring you only do moves that are suitable for your condition enables you to not only enjoy the sessions but see results. It's a joy to do each week and this is coming from someone who has never stuck with exercise/gym/even physio treatment. Absolutely highly recommended!
I would highly recommend the massage followed by weekly pilates sessions with Natasha if you want to really improve your core strength. After 3 C-section surgeries I had almost given up on things improving, but I’m thrilled to say they now are! Thank you Natasha.
Thanks so much Natasha for the rejuvenating postnatal massage! It was the perfect way to relax during early newborn days and sleepless nights!
Really great session for C section scar massage, had a really comprehensive chat and massage and came away feeling much better and with far less tension in my stomach and around my scar. Would 100% recommend.
I signed up to Pilates as I suffer with a back problem. I have noticed an improvement with this through attending the sessions. Natasha is very supportive and encouraging. It's a lovely welcoming atmosphere and I look forward to Monday evenings. All corrections are made in a discreet way and Natasha ensures that you work at a level that is right for you. I am really glad I signed up to the group and look forward to attending more pilates sessions with Natasha
I'm visiting in Datchet for a month and was so fortunate to find Natasha. I booked a weekly sports massage during my stay. After just the first session, I already felt improvement. She is knowledgeable about various techniuqes and understands body mechanics very well. As a massage therapist in the US myself, I was beyond happy with her knowledge and touch. I highly recommend her for regluar treatments or if you just need a little relaxing.
Attended pregnancy pilates over the last year. It was really easy to book and the sessions were incredibly helpful to keep aches and pains at bay. They also helped prep me for labour. Would highly recommend for any soon to be mums.
I’ve loved visiting Natasha throughout my pregnancy for Pilates and the most relaxing massages. I’d highly recommend to anyone who is expecting. A great way to learn about your body in pregnancy, speak to fellow mums and learn from Natasha’s trusted experience in this field, as as a mum herself.
Absolutely amazing result and only after 2 sessions!Natasha is so knowledgeable and dedicated and a real gem to findI have always resisted anyone touching my reconstruction scar but now would not hesitate recommending this to anyone wanting to feel better.So grateful for Natasha’s expertise and caring
I have been attending Pilates sessions with Natasha for over 7 years. From pregnancy Pilates to post pregnancy and to weekly Pilates sessions. Natasha is very attentive and always tailors exercises to your needs and abilities. Highly recommend her classes especially if you have tight shoulders and an achy back. The stretches really help. Plus the relaxation session at the end is the best bit!
Full body stretch, releases muscles, tests balance and strength best pilates class in last 15 years
I attended pregnancy pilates with Natasha throughout my pregnancy. I found the class really enjoyable way to move especially as I got bigger. Natasha is very knowledgeable and when I found out my baby was breech and then transverse she gave me extra advice on exercises to move baby into a head down position...which worked a treat. I also had 2 pregnancy massages with her which were just what I needed when feeling heavy and achy. I will definitely be returning to Natasha's class to aid in my postpartum recovery.
I was holding so much tension in my lower abdomen following my c section, and the c section therapy massage helped so much! Definitely recommend for any mum who is feeling like something just seems off with her scar, even when it looks fully healed.
I've worked with Natasha for a number of years and she has guided me through both of my pregnancies. I was looking for a personal trainer who specialised in women's health and pregnancy. Natasha has been amazing, leaving me feeling confident and strong after each session. I can't recommend her enough and will be booking in with her to help with my postnatal recovery. Thank you Natasha 😊
C-Section Scar Massage FAQ
When can I start scar massage after a C-section?
You can typically begin around 8 weeks postnatal, once your scar is fully healed and you’ve had clearance from your midwife, GP, or consultant.
Why should I get a C-section scar massage?
Scar massage can help:
-
Reduce tightness, numbness, or pulling
-
Improve blood flow and healing
-
Prevent or soften adhesions (internal scar tissue)
-
Support emotional healing and body confidence
Does it hurt?
No – it should never be painful. We work gently and gradually, only within your comfort zone. You’re always in control.
What does a scar massage session involve?
-
A gentle consultation and check-in
-
Hands-on massage around the scar and surrounding tissues
-
Education on how to safely massage the scar at home
- Home exercises to help strengthen your core & reduce the overhang
-
Breathing and relaxation techniques to support healing
Can you still massage older scars?
Yes! Even if your C-section was months or years ago, scar therapy can still be beneficial. It’s never too late to support better function and comfort.
What should I wear to a session?
Wear comfortable clothing. You may be asked to lower your waistband slightly for access to the scar area. Your privacy and comfort are always respected.
Is it safe after multiple C-sections?
Yes – massage can be especially helpful if you've had multiple surgeries, as it helps release deeper layers of scar tissue.
Do I need to bring anything?
Just bring yourself. If you’ve had recent clearance or notes from your doctor or midwife, you’re welcome to share them, but it’s not essential.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your scar, how your body is healing, and your goals. Some people feel relief after 1–2 sessions, while others benefit from a few more for lasting change.
