About Me

I'm Jenny, Specialist Occupational Therapist and owner of RISE: Rehab & Holistic Therapies.

My treatments are focused on helping you to get back to the things that matter most to you, after surgery or injury, whilst supporting you to enjoy a sense of wellbeing and restoration of quality of life.

In scar therapy, we work towards softness, comfort and emotional acceptance. Therapeutic massage is provided in a variety of methods, to offer time out from daily life, relaxation, and support with swelling management. Then, through Pilates we find strength and stability, as well as improved flexibility and cardiovascular fitness.

I love providing education, as well as treatments, so that you can take control of your health and wellbeing, to be the version of you that you want to be. Instagram is my go to, so give me a follow over there for updates!

I'm extremely proud of my qualifications and registrations; you'll find me on the HCPC register as an Occupational Therapist, listed on the MLD UK register and on the Restore Scar Therapy Directory. I am also a member of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists.

**I'm really excited to announce that I am due my first baby in March 2026, and therefore will be taking maternity leave from the end of January 2026.**

Healing doesn’t end when surgery does.

Education, reassurance, and the right support can make all the difference.

Thank you, Kim, for trusting me with your journey.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, from my rapidly expanding waistline (and it’s defo not caused by the chocolates 🙊👶🏻) and I!

I am so grateful for all your support, the trust you place in me and the people you mention my business to, this, and every year 💚

Here’s to an exciting 2026!

✨ Feel Good Friday ✨

My final clinic morning of 2025 is complete, and what better way to end the morning than with sharing one of my latest Google reviews 🥹💚

Swipe to see Hannah’s photos from just 1 scar therapy appointment!

The bonus of seeing a therapist (me!) that is trained in multiple modalities? You get to see the benefits of those skills in 1 appointment!

For Hannah, we combined scar therapy with MLD to work on tight scar tissue, as well as residual swelling 🫶🏻

If you’re ready for the next steps in your post-natal journey and want support with scarring or swelling, my January diary is open and ready for you!

#scartherapy #lymphaticdrainagemassage #deeptissuemassagetherapy #stocktonontees #homeclinic

Dreams really do come true 🥹🥰✨

Whilst I am SO excited to make the cabin even cosier over the coming weeks, I honestly couldn’t be happier or more grateful for my own little space!

So what is the cabin?
To me, and hopefully to you, it’s:

A sanctuary from the outside world.
A place to rest.
A place to take care of yourself.
A place to put yourself at the top of your list, for once.

It’s a safe, non-judgemental space, to share however you are truly feeling. The good, the bad, the everything in between, because with surgery, injury and medical conditions comes a lot of feelings, or sometimes numbness. Here, I’ll work with you on the physical, which in turn can often help the emotional.

What do I do at the cabin?

As an OT that’s specialised in women’s health and wellness, the cabin is a treatment location just for women, because we deserve somewhere just for us 💚

You can book an appointment for any, or a mixture of, the following:
•Scar therapy
•Manual lymphatic drainage
•Massage

Ready to prioritise yourself? My diary is open and I can’t wait to meet you 🥰

As it’s now the 1st of December, here’s a little reminder that I will be taking an extended Christmas break this year 🎄

I only have 3 clinic days left with availability for 2025, so if you’re wanting a review of your scar or have been contemplating booking your assessment, let’s chat!

Forever grateful for this little business of mine and every single person who supports it, however that may look 💚

Picture the scene…you’ve had surgery and the sensitivity and pain you’ve got as a result means you can’t wrap up warm in lots of layers this winter. You think it’ll never change and you’ll just have to live with it.

That’s exactly how my client told me she felt this time last year after undergoing breast cancer related surgery. The way her clothes fit against her arm left her with pain and discomfort, so she couldn’t wear the layers she wanted to.

It’s not just about being warm, it’s about feeling like herself and wearing things she wants to wear. So much of our identity can be tied to the clothes we choose to wear.

Fast forward to now…⏩

Since May she has been an active participant in our scar therapy appointments, and her home programmes.

The result?

My client is now able to wear her winter layers without a problem and enjoy her time outside. Her sensitivity has significantly reduced and she’s so much more comfortable in her clothes 🥹

I am so proud of how far she’s come and all the work she’s put in to get there! I’m also so grateful for her trusting me to be part of her journey 💚

If you’re feeling like sensitivity or pain post surgery is something you have to live with, know that it’s not and I’m here to help!

Send me a message and let’s get the ball rolling. It’s time to get the support you need; no one should have to live with post-op sensitivity or pain 💚

Why is it that we put off booking a massage? It’s “just a luxury” that we don’t have time for, right? Wrong.

Here’s 3 myths, that I think we often tell ourselves, about massage and the truth I really want you to know.

1️⃣ “Massage is just a luxury.”
Absolutely not. Massage is therapy. It supports your nervous system, reduces stress hormones, and helps your body reset. Self-care isn’t an indulgence, it’s essential.

2️⃣ “I’ll book in when I’m in pain.”
Waiting until you’re hurting is like waiting until your car breaks down to check the oil. It means more work needs doing to get you back up and running! Regular massage can prevent tension, headaches, burnout, and chronic discomfort. Prevention is always better than a cure when you’ve reached the end of your limits!

3️⃣ “Massage is just about relaxing muscles.”
Massage works on so much more than muscles; it calms the mind, balances the body, improves circulation, supports sleep, boosts immunity, and reconnects you with yourself. I offer a blend of sports and deep tissue massage, as well as manual lymphatic drainage meaning you can see benefits across multiple systems including your lymphatic system!

So the truth every woman deserves to hear:
Your body isn’t meant to run on empty. You deserve consistent, nurturing care, not just when you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or hurting. Massage is one of the most powerful ways to restore your energy, reduce stress, and feel at home in your body again.

Ready to make time for you?

Book your massage today and give your body the care it’s been waiting for 💚

Gloves on ➡️ gloves off

Wondering where you’d find me outside of work? Well week days, it’s on the sofa with a fire lit and a blanket (after my employed job), but any other time it’s likely to be either at an ice rink watching @billinghambuccaneers 🏒 or pottering around Norton with a coffee!

Took a little inspo from @sjskinspecialist and @belvisobeauty13 for this one! 🥰

After breast cancer surgery, your body can feel very different. Scars, tightness, numbness, and sensitivity are common, but often misunderstood.

Here’s the gentle truth you deserve to know:
1️⃣ “Cording means something went wrong.” Cording (also known as axillary web syndrome) can happen when scar tissue forms and tightens after lymph node surgery, it doesn’t mean anything went wrong. It’s common, and can be improved with scar therapy and gentle movement.

2️⃣ “Numbness means permanent nerve damage.” Numbness around the breast, chest, or arm is very common. Nerves heal super slowly, but there are techniques you can use to encourage the return of sensation more quickly. It’s not always permanent.

3️⃣ “If my scar is sensitive, I should avoid touching it.” Avoiding touching your scar when it’s sensitive can have the opposite effect and cause increased sensitivity. Gentle touch, massage, and desensitisation techniques can help to settle the nerves and therefore reduce and pain and sensitivity.
 Healing after breast cancer surgery is complex. The physical changes are often visible, but the emotional healing is crucial to acknowledge.
With time, support, and gentle care, you can see meaningful improvement 💚

Please remember you’re not alone in this. There is support available, and it’s okay to take your healing one step at a time.

Save this post for when you’re ready to take that first step, or send it to a friend who could benefit from personalised support.

The difference in just 2 weeks (and 2 appointments)!

This lovely client came to me for lymphoedema support and scar care advice following treatment for breast cancer.

In her first appointment, we measured her arms to monitor for lymphoedema and discussed self-management tools like gentle lymphatic drainage and compression garment use.

Then we focused on her scars, which were healing beautifully already, but with a few areas we could help:
🌿 Slight puckering and raised texture
🌿 Tightness on the left side
🌿 Some remaining redness

After less than 5 minutes of gentle scar therapy, using @restorescartherapy techniques, we saw visible improvements in the texture straight away!

Over the next two weeks, she continued with her home scar therapy plan, just a few minutes of scar massage each day and silicone gel use, plus a longer self-lymphatic drainage routine.

The progress has been fantastic! The scar is flatter, smoother, paler and less tight. Her hand swelling is softer and there’s less tightness.

Seeing changes like this, and hearing how it’s made such a difference to her comfort and confidence with self care, is exactly why I love what I do.

If you’re recovering from surgery and would like support with scar care, swelling, or movement, I’d love to help you too.

Manual lymphatic drainage has become so popular in the last 2 years but there are still a few common misunderstandings about what it really is (and isn’t).

1️⃣ “It’s painful”
MLD should not be painful. It’s a gentle, supportive treatment that can be completely tailored to your stage of healing post-op and the level of oedema you’re experiencing. Your lymphatics sit just below the skin surface so pressure does not need to be hard!

2️⃣ “It must use oils”
For the clinical application of MLD, oils/moisturisers are not required. In order to achieve an effective grip on the skin, it is best completed without.

3️⃣ “It’s all you need”
MLD is best used in combination with other treatment modalities, from maintaining your hydration to gentle movement or wearing compression. This is where expert guidance is key!

Think of MLD as a soft whisper with your body’s lymphatic system.
It’s gentle, rhythmic, supportive. Proof that there is power in softness.

Let’s keep busting myths together, follow for the gentle truths you might not of known!

C-Section Scar Transformation 💚

This lovely client came to see me wanting to understand her scar better, to get advice on how to help herself, reduce the “tucking in” at the scar line, and see if the numbness could be improved.

In the first photo you can see her scar is hypertrophic, meaning it’s raised above the natural level of her skin. She also had tightness through the scar tissue extending to her hips.

Over just three appointments, along with updated home programmes and the use of silicone sheets, she’s made such brilliant progress!

1️⃣ Her scar is now flatter, paler, and much more mobile.
2️⃣ The tissue around it feels softer and more comfortable.
3️⃣ Her tummy has a more natural, gentle curve again, rather than a steep curve where the scar was tight.
4️⃣ The sensation around her scar and tummy has started to change.

It’s been amazing to see her confidence grow as her scar continues to heal and change!

If you’ve had a C-section or have a surgical scar and aren’t sure where to start, know that change is possible.

So many mums believe these myths about their C-section scar and they can stop you from feeling truly at home in your body again.

Here’s the gentle truth behind each one:

1️⃣ “Scar therapy is only about appearance.”
It’s not just about how your scar looks, it’s about how your body feels.
When your scar moves freely, you can breathe, stretch, and move with ease again. The things you want or need to do each day don’t feel as hard.

2️⃣ “It’s normal for your scar to be numb forever.”
Some numbness is common early on, but this can change.
With time, gentle touch, and scar therapy, you can help your sensation to return.

3️⃣ “Older scars aren’t able to change.”
It’s never too late.
Even years later, scar therapy work and mindful movement can release tightness, change your sensation, ease pulling, and restore comfort.

You deserve to feel comfortable in your body, not just “okay”.

“I finally felt like myself again.”

Real words from one of my incredible C-section mamas 🫶🏻

If you’re a new mum recovering from a C-section and feeling disconnected from your body, you’re not alone. That scar, that numbness, that ache that no one warned you about, they can make you feel like your body isn’t your own anymore.

But here’s the truth, your postpartum recovery doesn’t have to be something you just “get through.”

With the right guidance, support, and a safe space to heal, you can reconnect with your body, regain strength, and move with confidence again.

Like my client shared:

“Jenny talked me through everything during my appointment and showed me how to help myself heal at home. She even sent a follow-up video with tips for my scar and numb patch after my C-section. I felt so at ease, like I was chatting to a friend.”

You deserve to feel that same sense of comfort, understanding, and empowerment.

If you’re ready to take that first gentle step back to you, my door is always open — whether it’s to ask a question, book your first session, or simply be heard 💚

It seems to be a week of news sharing 👶🏻🍼💙

As I’ve had a few enquiries already this week from ladies who are going for surgery in 2026, I thought I should share this news now…

Simon and I are expecting a little boy in March 2026 🥰

As such, I will be taking maternity leave, likely from mid February, with a potential return date of September 2026. However, please be aware that this is flexible and will entirely depend on how I’m feeling later in pregnancy and postpartum.

If you have any questions about treatment before February or want suggestions of other therapists you could see whilst I’m off, please do reach out to me!

After surgery or injury, have you thought any of these? ⬆️

These are things I hear all the time in clinic, but that doesn’t mean it has to be the norm. It can change.

It’s the personal approach to rehab that helps to make those more than surface level changes. It’s addressing the physical, emotional and functional aspects, that create holistic rehab and ensure you recover to feel more like you again.

No matter what treatment you book with me, it is never the same for everyone.

Your experience is unique, your recovery is unique and you rehab should be the same.

You don’t have to stay disconnected from your body, support is here.

Reach out today and let’s take the first step together 💚
#womenshealth #scartherapy #scartherapist #manuallymphaticdrainage #lymphoedematherapist #holisticrehab #holistictherapy #postopcare #teesside

Scars tell a story, but they don’t have to define how you feel in your body.

It’s completely normal to have mixed feelings about them. You might feel pride, discomfort, sadness, guilt, even anger.

As a scar therapist, I hold space for all of that. Healing isn’t just about the scar itself, it’s about how you feel.

You’re allowed to not like how it looks.
You’re allowed to want comfort.
You’re allowed to want change.
You’re allowed to feel confident again.

If this resonates, you don’t have to feel all of this alone.

Book a scar therapy session or send me a message if you’d like to talk it through; I’m here to help you heal, inside and out 💚

🌿 Giving Back 🌿

As a small business owner, one of the beauties is that I get to choose how I can support people.

I’ve always loved the idea of being able to give back to people who may not be able to afford an appointment, but want the help and support that a consultation can bring.

Inequalities in healthcare are so widely known about, in particular in Women’s Health, and I know for some people an appointment would be considered a luxury that may be out of reach financially.

So I’ve decided that from today, I will be offering one *FREE* new client consultation per month.

This is my way of giving back and making sure that everyone, regardless of their situation, can feel supported in their healing journey 💚

All I ask is that you use the code if you genuinely need it.

For October’s free appointment, simply use the coupon code: OctGiveBack when booking online.

Because everyone deserves care, support, and the chance to heal with confidence 💚

Quality techniques > quantity of techniques

At home scar therapy doesn’t need 1 hour spent on it, you can make changes in 10minutes. It makes it much easier to fit into your daily life.

10minutes scar work instead of scrolling? Possible.
10 minutes of you time whilst watching tv? Achievable.

We’ve all got 10 minutes.

Have you thought this after your surgery?

It’s a thought many people have, but discomfort from scars doesn’t always have to be permanent.

Scars can cause tightness, sensitivity, or even limit movement, and that can really impact on your daily life and all the things you love to do.

Scar therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that helps your body heal beyond the initial recovery. By working with the scar tissue and surrounding area, it can soften tightness, calm sensitivity, improve movement, and reduce pain.

Your scar(s) tell a story of survival, but they don’t have to be a source of ongoing discomfort. With the right support, you can feel more like you again.

It’s not always hands-on treatment… 💭

Sometimes the biggest difference comes from guidance and the right products.

Here’s what a recent client shared:

“I approached Jenny regarding my lymph node scar as it was very dark. Jenny provided helpful tips, advice, and recommended a scar gel… The before and after photos surprised even myself after just a few weeks. Jenny is proactive and a fantastic and educated clinician.”

Care can look different for everyone — sometimes it’s treatment in clinic, and other times it’s advice that empowers you to support healing at home. Either way, your confidence and providing quality care are always at the heart of what I do 💚

You expected stitches, a scar, some swelling, but maybe not to the extent that your clothes feel tight or the heavy feeling makes you avoid the mirror.

Think moisturiser is a must during scar massage?
Not so fast.

One of the most common myths I hear is that you must use moisturiser while massaging your scar. But the truth is: for scar massage to be truly effective, it’s best done without any moisturiser at first.

Why?
Because dry massage allows you to get a better grip on the skin — giving you more control and helping you to move the scar more effectively. That movement is key to reducing tightness, improving texture, and restoring mobility.

But don’t skip the hydration.
Once you’ve completed your massage, applying moisturiser is essential. It helps keep the scar tissue soft and supports deep, ongoing healing.

✨ Here’s something important to remember:
Your scar continues to heal and change for up to two years — and even older scars can still benefit from the right kind of care.

If you’re navigating your recovery and want expert, personalised support tailored to your unique body and healing journey, I’m here for you. 💚

DM me the word ‘scar’ and let’s talk about how we can support your healing — together.

Not sure where to start with getting back to exercise after breast cancer surgery? I can help!

Pilates with me offers a gentle, supportive return to movement whilst focusing on building, strength and stability, especially around your shoulders.

Don’t just take my word for it, here’s what one of my clients said:
“After surgery I was uncertain how to safely return to movement and rebuild strength. Starting the Pink Ribbon Program and 1-2-1 Pilates Rehab with Jenny was one of the best decisions I made. From day one, I felt supported physically and emotionally.

Jenny understood my surgery, my range of motion, and my concerns—tailoring each session to my needs. Over time, I noticed a significant improvement in flexibility, energy, and confidence in my body.”

Ain’t that the truth 😴

You might have noticed the radio silence the last 2 weeks, I’ve been recharging 🪫➡️🔋

I love my little business and all the gorgeous clients I have but truth is it’s hard work sometimes balancing a business, an employed job and general life!

Excited to be back at work on Monday with a freshly charged battery, a bit of a tan, some new skills and some exciting future plans 🥰

All messages will be replied to on Monday, thanks for your patience 💚

Who else is ready for the new week?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

MYTH: “Don’t use your swollen limb!”

The truth?

Your lymphatic system needs gentle movement to work properly. Avoiding using your limb can actually make things worse, leading to stiffness and loss of function.

Lymph fluid flows naturally through muscle contraction, so movement truly is medicine.

Walk. Stretch. Swim. Breathe. Your body will thank you.

*Always seek guidance from your lymphoedema therapist about the movement that is suitable for you; this is a general post*

Sunrise, breathwork, sauna and sea dips ✨

The most gorgeous Sunday morning with @basefitnessnorton and @the_meltingpot.project down at South Gare.

Waking up at 3.30 and the thought of getting in the sea is not something I’m excited by, but my goodness it was SO worth it!

Thank you @jen.hebron and @the_meltingpot.sauna 💚

MYTH: “Scars always heal well with time, right?” ⏱️ ⁣ Not quite. ⁣ Scars are a natural part of healing — but without the right support, they can: • Feel tight or itchy • Limit your range of motion • Cause discomfort or even pain • Contribute to swelling and lymphatic flow issues ⁣ Whether your scar is new or years old, scar therapy can help. ⁣ I work with clients post-surgery and injury to reduce stuck scar tissue, improve mobility, and bring ease back into their bodies. ⁣ ✨ Scar therapy is gentle, evidence-informed, and empowering. And it’s never too late to begin. ⁣ DM me “stuck” if you’re curious, or if you know someone with a scar, send them this. ⁣ 👇 What’s the biggest question you have about scars and healing?

Client Feedback Like This 💬

When I get messages like this, it reminds me why I do what I do:

“The shift in my headspace from my appointment with you has been massive. I actually feel confident to touch and massage the area without being anxious I’m causing damage. And I feel some hope now that this isn’t as good as it will get!”

Helping people feel empowered, and confident, in their own healing is the most rewarding part of my job. Discomfort can be overwhelming, but the right support can make all the difference—physically and mentally.

Thank you for trusting me with your care 💚

If you’re sat wondering if I can help you, send me a 🙋🏼‍♀️ and we can start the conversation. I can’t wait to chat with you.

Why an appointment with me is like making an iced coffee ☕️🧊

You’re the foundation on which the coffee is built; your story, your recovery, your healing in motion. Without you, there’d be no iced coffee!

I’m the coffee; the bespoke blend of treatment, the shots of knowledge you might not have known you needed.

Your home care? That’s the final top-up, bringing it all together in a perfect mix.

Let’s take it one sip (or session) at a time 👌🏻

After MLD >>> before MLD

You made the brave choice to change your body—not just to look different, but to feel and move more like you again.

But no one really talks about what comes after cosmetic surgery.

The swelling.
The tightness.
The scar that feels more present than you expected.

This lovely client came in feeling just that— swollen and tight. She’s had a few appointments now and the difference each time is evident. Through gentle, targeted Manual Lymphatic Drainage and scar therapy, we have softened and reduced her swelling, eased the discomfort, reduced tightness in her scar and helped her reconnect with her body. The photos from this 1 appointment show that!

Maybe you’re wondering if, post surgery, this is as good as it gets.
Maybe you’re afraid to touch the area.
Maybe you’re struggling to connect with your “new” body.

MLD and scar therapy help bridge the gap between surgery and full recovery. So you can stop *just* healing… and start thriving.

You didn’t come this far to still feel stuck.
You deserve to feel good in your skin!

Let’s take the next step—together.

DM me to learn more or book your first appointment; I’m here when you’re ready.

Send this to a friend who’s got their surgery booked so they know where to come for support 💚

Maybe it’s from surgery, childbirth, an accident, or a past you’d rather forget. Every scar carries a story—and often, pain that goes beyond skin deep.

If you’ve ever felt like your scar is holding you back…
If you avoid mirrors, clothes you used to love, or even being touched…
You are not alone.

Scar therapy isn’t just about softening the tissue or improving appearance—it’s about softening the weight of what that scar means to you.

It’s about restoring movement. Releasing tension. Reclaiming confidence.
It’s about finally feeling at home in your body again.

I’ve seen clients walk in carrying years of discomfort—physical, emotional, even shame—and walk out lighter, freer, more whole.

This is your invitation.
To heal.
To reconnect.
To rewrite the story your scar tells.

You deserve that.

Book your appointment today.

Comment or DM me the word ‘choice’ and I’ll send you the link to book 💚

Your healing matters. Your body deserves care.

After multiple major surgeries, including two c-sections and treatment for endometriosis, my client was left with pelvic pain and unable to touch her scars. Like many women, she felt pressured to move on as if nothing had happened.

But healing isn’t something we should rush.
It’s something we should nurture.

That’s where I come in.

With just two appointments, my client could lay flat in bed again - a simple act that had felt impossible for so long.

My goal as a therapist? To help you feel like your best self again.

If you’ve had surgery and feel disconnected from your body, follow me, then book an appointment.

Your recovery isn’t just physical, it’s emotional, too. And you deserve support every step of the way.

Healing after breast cancer surgery isn’t just about the body.
It’s about returning to you.
To your routines and activities.
To comfort.
To moments of peace that feel like your life again.

As Tracey shared: “Jenny helped me to get a little bit of normality back…” That’s the power of holistic rehab.

When you’re ready, I’m here to walk with you.

Your cancer treatment is over, you’re “done” - but your body tells a different story.

Numbness. Tenderness. Swelling.

And the questions no one seems to answer:
Can I get some normality back in my life again? Will my sensation return?

That’s where your rehab begins.

That’s where Tracey began - with me.

If you’re here too, you’re not alone.

Let’s talk about the post-treatment healing that no one prepares you for.

Save this post and send it to a friend who’s finished their treatment, so they know there is support available for the post-treatment effects 💚
