Podcast - C sections, hysterectomies & peri-menopause

7/23/2026

I’m excited to share that I was recently a guest on the Perimenopause Health Podcast with the wonderful Anastasia Bennett!
It was such a privilege to sit down with Anastasia, a Registered Clinical Nutritionist and passionate women’s health educator, to talk about a topic that I believe deserves far more attention…
The missing piece in perimenopause: pelvic health.
We explored how the health of your pelvis, abdomen and surrounding tissues can have a profound impact on how you feel during perimenopause. We discussed:
Why pelvic health is often overlooked
The effects of scar tissue from C-sections, hysterectomies and endometriosis surgery
How specialised abdominal massage may support comfort, mobility and wellbeing
Why taking a whole-body approach to women’s health matters
As someone who has lived through endometriosis, fertility struggles and now perimenopause, this conversation is incredibly close to my heart. My hope is that it gives women another avenue to explore and reminds them that they don’t have to simply “put up with” feeling unwell.
A huge thank you to Anastasia for creating such an informative and supportive space for women and for inviting me to share my passion.

A little Bloom update... and an invitation to take care of you

A little Bloom update- and an invitation to take care of you!

Supporting Women Through Every Stage – Fertility • Hormone Balance • Endometriosis • PCOS • Pregnancy * Postnatal * Menopause

It's been a little while since I've shared what's been happening at Bloom Women's Wellness Clinic, and I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for being part of this wonderful community.

The last few months have been incredibly rewarding. I've celebrated beautiful pregnancy announcements, supported women through IVF and fertility journeys, helped clients find relief from endometriosis and pelvic pain, cared for mums throughout pregnancy and postnatally, and worked with women navigating the changes of perimenopause and menopause.

Every message, every positive test, every reduction in pain, every "I finally feel like myself again" reminds me why I love doing what I do.

Whether you're trying to conceive, managing endometriosis or PCOS/PMOS, expecting a baby, recovering after birth, or looking for support through hormonal changes, please remember that you don't have to do it alone.

Sometimes life gets busy and we put ourselves at the bottom of the list. Consider this your gentle reminder that your health and wellbeing matter too.

I'm also excited to share that Bloom continues to grow beyond the treatment room. I'm currently working on my book, “Bloom Through the Pain” which shares not only my own journey, but also the knowledge and holistic approach I've developed over more than a decade helping women navigate fertility and hormonal health. It's a project very close to my heart, and I can't wait to share more with you in the coming months.
A heartfelt thank you…
To the beautiful clients who took the time to share her Bloom story with me recently—thank you.
Reading your messages has been one of the most humbling experiences of my career. There were tears, smiles, and so many moments where I was reminded just how privileged I am to walk alongside women during some of life’s biggest challenges and greatest joys.
Your words have encouraged me more than you’ll ever know, and I’m so grateful that you’ve trusted me with your stories.
If you’ve been meaning to send through your experience but haven’t had the chance yet, there’s still time! I’d absolutely love to include more client stories in my upcoming book, “Bloom through the Pain”. Whether Bloom helped you on your fertility journey, supported you through endometriosis, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, or simply helped you feel heard and cared for, your story could inspire another woman who needs hope.
Every journey is unique, and every story matters.
If you’d like to be part of the book, simply reply to this email with your story or send me a message. I’d be honoured to hear from you.
“Thank you for allowing Bloom to be a small part of your story. It has become such a meaningful part of mine.”
Sharing Some of Blooms most recent Success Stories

Hi Pip,
hope you are doing well, I came for my second fertility massage on 3rd March. I can say your magic hands has worked. I had my period on 17th April and it was soooo much better, no clots and what do we know last month we tested positive! We are 7 weeks pregnant now!!!
Thank you for healing me and helping with the extreme pain I used to get every month. I’m so excited to share this amazing news with you. I will be coming in for a pregnancy massage soon (can’t
believe I’m actually saying that, haha!).
Hi Pip,

I have some good news…. I will need to cancel my appointment on the 10th June, as I am pregnant!

I cannot believe it after trying for 4 years and i truely believe it was because of you. So thank you xx
Hi Pip,

Bloom endometriosis client testimonials
I suffered very heavy and painful periods as a result of endometriosis. I found the laparoscopy very unpleasant, with a lot of healing time. It was not long after and the symptoms returned. In desperation I scoured the internet in search of an alternative and came across Pip and Bloom Massage. After only a few endo massages I noticed a huge difference with getting rid of the pain and large clots. I had many years where my periods were manageable. When I hit perimenopause the heavy bleeding made it hard to leave the house. I was booked in for a hysterectomy and then remembered Pip had helped before. I booked in for some more endo massages and cancelled my hysterectomy. Every time I feel any strange twinges or bleeding I go in for a top up massage. Pip provides a nurturing, calm and friendly environment. Her work has helped so many people, I look forward to going to see her and couldn't be without her!
Katie
Pip is an amazing massage therapist specialising in endometriosis and fertility support. I’ve been seeing her for over 10 years, and throughout that time her caring nature, knowledge, and treatments have helped me better understand my endometriosis and find relief when medication wasn’t enough. She is incredibly friendly, supportive, and truly wonderful at what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate and effective care.
