Beyoncé Said Rest. The Womb Listened.

Queen Bey said no to hustle culture—and your womb heard her. If you’re feeling fried, let’s talk about what radical rest really looks like for bodies that bleed, carry, and care.

When Beyoncé pauses, the world takes note.

Her recent decision to take time off between tour legs to prioritise rest, recovery, and ritual has gone viral—and for good reason. In a culture obsessed with doing more, faster, louder, her quiet resistance hits deep.

And I want to say this gently but firmly: Your womb is also asking you to slow the hell down.

In our bustling lives, often dictated by calendars and deadlines, we can easily lose touch with the natural rhythms that govern not only the world around us but also our very beings. Amidst this chaos, there lies a serene wisdom in embracing the cyclical nature of existence. This wisdom, when applied to our own lives, can lead to profound insights and a deeper connection with ourselves and the world we inhabit.

Cycle awareness is not a new concept; it has been revered in various cultures and spiritual traditions for centuries. From the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to the teachings of indigenous peoples, the importance of attuning ourselves to the natural cycles of life is consistently emphasized. At its core, cycle awareness invites us to recognise and honour the ebbs and flows inherent in all aspects of existence, from the changing seasons to the rhythms of our own bodies.

The Polyvagal Theory and Massage Therapy: An Holistic Approach to Healing

Massage therapy is an ancient practice that has been used for centuries to promote relaxation, relieve pain, and improve overall wellbeing. Today, massage therapy is a widely accepted form of complementary and alternative medicine, with many different techniques and approaches available to suit the needs of individual clients. The Polyvagal Theory provides a unique perspective on massage therapy, highlighting the importance of the nervous system and how it can be regulated to promote healing and connection.

The Polyvagal Theory proposes that the nervous system has three distinct states: the ventral vagal state, the sympathetic state, and the dorsal vagal state. Each state is associated with a specific set of physiological responses and behavioural outcomes. For massage therapists, understanding these different states is crucial for creating a safe and healing space for their clients.

Placenta Encapsulation: A Value-Adding Option for Birth Preparation

Placenta encapsulation is a process that has been gaining popularity in recent years as an option for birth preparation. It involves the process of cleaning, optional steaming, dehydrating, and grinding the placenta into a fine powder, which is then placed into capsules for consumption. While some may find the idea unappealing, there are many benefits to placenta encapsulation that make it a valuable option for those who are looking for natural ways to support their postpartum recovery.

One of the biggest benefits of placenta encapsulation is its ability to help people heal faster and better after birth. The placenta contains a variety of nutrients and hormones that are essential for postpartum recovery, including iron, protein, and oxytocin. By consuming the placenta in capsule form, people can replenish these nutrients and hormones, which can help reduce postpartum bleeding, increase milk supply, and enhance feelings of well-being.

How Massage Can Help Support the Conception Journey

Trying to get pregnant can be a challenging and often stressful process, especially if it takes longer than expected. The pressure to conceive can add to the stress, which in turn can make it more difficult to conceive. Studies have shown that stress can negatively impact fertility by disrupting the hormonal balance and causing physical tension in the body. Fortunately, massage therapy can be a powerful tool for reducing stress and promoting relaxation, which may help support the conception journey.

Massage therapy is a holistic approach that involves the manipulation of soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments, to help promote relaxation and improve overall well-being. By stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for regulating the body's rest and digest response, massage therapy can help reduce stress and promote a sense of calmness.

    Nyssa Craig

    Hi friend, thanks so much for hopping on over here for a wee squizz at my many musings!

    I'm Nyssa, a Brighton-based and Scottish-born massage therapist, placenta remedies specialist, birth support worker (full-spectrum doula), and fertility specialist.
    ​
    I specialise in providing services to those often underserved by existing practitioners - particularly those who have felt excluded from mainstream service providers for ANY reason, such as weight, sexuality, gender identity, disability, neuroatypical processing, et cetera.
    This blog is somewhere you can find my rants on all the above topics (and so much more - love a good rant, me!), as well as more information on my areas of specialism, given the frequent lack of discussion thereon.

    So have a browse, and drop me a comment to let me know your own thoughts!
