WANT MORE UNDERSTANDING?Hear my own journey through endometriosis, infertility and chronic hormonal pain that lead me to question why women put up with this suffering .I cover topics on
The role emotional release plays in physical healing, why hormonal pain is rarely “biological” and how a hands on approach can help women reconnect with their bodies, cycles and rediscover hope. I invite you to listen to this and gain more knowledge about the female body and allow women to listen differently to their body’s knowing you're not alone in this journey, your pain isn’t imagined and you simply shouldn’t have to put up with it. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Fk8WlWbQLQWYuQOnbOPMA?si=c11a88980f68447d

MY CLIENTS EXPERIENCES
Feritility Client Review
Hi my darling Pip, it’s been such a struggle not messaging you sooner and so much of me wanted to tell you in person, but the other part of me wanted to make sure I tell you exactly how I feel xx
Ever since I met you, we had such a good connection, frightening in some senses as we were so much alike! You literally changed my life with your magic hands - to go from no regular cycle, not ovulating and being in crippling pain on a regular basis to having a regular cycle, ovulating and no pain was the biggest surprise and very welcomed one at that! I didn’t really appreciate the PMS that came with being a real women, but hey - you have to take the good with the bad right! I still laugh that I txt you saying ummm why am I so irrational and hormonal ha ha - thank god for Doterra Balance!
It is with an overwhelming amount of excitement that I can tell you today I am officially 13 weeks pregnant! But wait for it.... this wee miracle isn’t an IVF baby, yes like you, over Christmas and New Years I relaxed and had a good time and much to our surprise I got the best birthday present ever - a positive pregnancy test!!!

Endo Client Review
As a woman, I’ve spent years carrying tension — not just in my body, but in my heart. Between the stress of everyday life, childhood trauma and the constant pressure to hold everything together, I didn’t realise how disconnected I had become from myself. That all changed after this massage treatment.
From the moment I arrived at Bloom, Pip gave me hope, I felt seen, safe and cared for. She created a space where I could truly let go and be vulnerable. Each movement felt intentional, almost like they were helping me release years of pain and pressure that I didn’t even know I was holding.
After the first treatment, I walked out feeling lighter, clearer and feeling hopeful. I was amazed with the first treatment, my excruciating menstrual cycle were 7 - 10 days long and now with Pip healing hands 3 - 4 days. In my eyes, its miracle!
To any woman reading this, if you’ve been feeling depleted, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself, please know there is hope. Pip is truly gifted and saved me from having surgery and medications. This experience reminded me that we all deserve to feel at home in our own bodies again.
This wasn’t just a massage, it was a life changing experience. A reminder that when we nurture ourselves, we reconnect and start listening to our body.

Menopausal Client Review
Phillipa came into my life through chance at the perfect moment. I knew I needed some more healing after so many layers of trauma and so many different alternative treatments however I knew I needed to get to the next layer of trauma that men have caused me, the sexual betrayal that kept being repeated, the repressed pain of these things I had buried and never spoken or even fully remembered were living in my body and seeping into my behaviours without my conscious understanding, my multiple miscarriages, births, hysterectomy… and the devastation from the end of my marriage. I knew I needed to be touched and I had an idea of how. I had no idea this type of massage was possible and when I told Phillipa I could not believe my luck. This was exactly what I needed. My life has changed so dramatically since that day. I had an activation session with Inna Neal the same day and I believe that the hypnosis I did with Margarita Politis and the programmes with Lauren Ferris have all helped but this has given me my body confidence and power back. I feel alive again, integrated, powerful like myself, a woman, a child who has been hurt who is able to heal and so I wrote this…
I thank you!
You have given me back my confidence
I feel like I can trust myself again
I am me
I am lovable
I am many parts but I am integrated and don’t need to go to extremes
You made me feel that I can be desired again
I feel awakened
I feel like I am a woman
I got to review some of the scenarios of my past and upgrade my views of what has happened in my past and what I want in my future
I processed a lot of hurt and I feel like I am me and I can move forward
I had feelings on every side of the spectrum but I am no longer stuck
I’m ready to let go and be healed
to say ex and mean it
I am ready to find my way and I will not be small anymore
Enough is enough
What if I fail?
What if I can’t?
No!!
I will succeed!
I have regained my faith my hope my love my dreams
I am able and capable!
I have gone so far and I will continue until I am thriving everyday and helping others again
Less talk more listening
Dancing
Naked sunbathing
A new puppy?
A new car?
Learning to ski?
Possibilities are endless
I am me
I am whole
I am brave
I am enough and everything has happened perfectly
Even if you just experience an amazing essential oil massage that would be worth it but if you experience what I have after 2 sessions and I have 3 booked you will never look back. What would you do if you could not fail? Love yourself and let it all go! Xx
Thank you, Pip

MY STORYFrom the age of 12, I lived with 16 years of chronic period pain and heavy, debilitating periods. After countless doctors’ visits over 9 years, I was put on the pill at 15. At 16, I contracted glandular fever, and by 21 I had my first laparoscopy. Over my twenties, I underwent three laparoscopies and was ultimately diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis that had spread to my bowel and bladder.
At 28, my specialist advised that further surgery was necessary and delivered a devastating prognosis: if I didn’t have children by 30, it was unlikely I ever would — and I would likely need a full hysterectomy within 3–5 years. As a single woman at the time, this was frightening and overwhelming. In September 2004, a friend recommended a therapist who specialised in treating women with endometriosis. Although I was sceptical, I was willing to try anything. I had been taking the pill continuously for four years, but after my very first treatment, I stopped. My next cycle brought a powerful release, and after two more treatments, I was completely free from endometriosis pain from my second cycle onward. Regular pre-cycle abdominal massage helped keep me pain free and eased my anxiety around my periods. This gentle yet powerful technique transformed my symptoms — and two years later, I fell pregnant naturally, which felt like a miracle. After our first baby, when my cycle returned, I had another treatment to support my body, and I conceived again naturally the very next cycle. Today, my husband and I are proud parents to three thriving teenage boys, and I have been endometriosis pain free for 20 years. This massage changed my life — and it ignited my passion to support other women through their hormonal journeys. Over the past 11 years, I’ve been deeply grateful to work from home around my children while helping hundreds of women feel safer, calmer, and more empowered in their bodies. Whether you’re living with endometriosis, PCOS, trying to conceive, navigating pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, or simply seeking deeper self-care and hormonal balance — I truly believe every woman can benefit from reconnecting with her body in this nurturing way. |
