Post Natal
Your body has just done something extraordinary. Growing and birthing a baby is one of the most physically and emotionally demanding things a woman will ever do — and yet postnatal recovery is one of the most overlooked stages of a woman's healthcare journey. You deserve specialist support that takes your recovery as seriously as your pregnancy.
Why Lavender Health?
Michelle is one of the most comprehensively qualified postnatal specialists you will find in private practice. With over 15 years of working with new mothers — including a decade as a Holistic Core Restore® Coach, 15 years teaching buggy fitness classes, and two years supporting families on a NICU ward — she brings a depth of real-world postnatal experience that goes far beyond a single qualification.
Her Burrell Education qualifications span postnatal assessment, pregnancy massage and remedial therapy, advanced postnatal wellness, pelvic floor and core rehabilitation, and optimal nutrition for postnatal healing — giving her a truly multidisciplinary understanding of what a new mother's body needs to recover well.
She also volunteers with a baby loss charity, and understands that the emotional landscape of the postnatal period is every bit as complex as the physical one. Whatever your birth experience — straightforward or traumatic, joyful or grief-filled — you will be met with expertise, warmth and zero judgement.

Post Natal MOT
£75, 75min
A comprehensive specialist assessment and treatment session combining full body massage, diastasis recti check for abdominal separation, rib flaring assessment, abdominal massage and light C-section scar work where needed. Everything your body needs checking and treating in one dedicated session — because every new mother deserves to know how her body is really healing.
Birth Story Debrief

£65, 60min
Motherhood is one of the biggest identity shifts a woman will ever experience. Whether you are navigating postnatal depression, anxiety, loss of self or simply the relentless exhaustion of new motherhood — this is a safe, confidential space to talk, process and find your way through. Available in person or on Zoom.
The Full Package
£190
The Postnatal MOT, Core Recovery Session and Birth Story Debrief combined — everything your body and mind need in those first demanding months of motherhood. Saving you £25 on individual session rates and giving you a clear, supported pathway through your recovery.
(Individual value £215)
The postnatal period is not just the weeks after birth. It is months — sometimes years — of physical and emotional adjustment that deserves ongoing specialist attention. At Lavender Health, postnatal recovery is not an afterthought. It is a specialism.
All hands-on treatments take place in The Lavender Room, a private, peaceful garden studio in Strood, Kent. Coaching and debrief sessions are also available on Zoom for new mothers who find it easier to be seen from home — because we understand that getting out of the house with a newborn is not always simple.
Gift vouchers are available for all treatments and packages — and if you know a new mother who needs this, please share it with her.

“Michelle helped me close my diastasis. She is so supportive with post natal care and I really trust her. I've gone back a few years later to improve my wellbeing after endomestriosis surgery”
