The WellNyss Tree

Clinical/Fertility/Rebozo Massage, Closing the Bones & Placenta Specialist, and Full Spectrum Doula. Hello, and welcome to The WellNyss Tree! With love, Nyssa.
(1)

I'm Nyssa (see what I did there?!), and I'm an Advanced Clinical Massage Therapist (ACMT), Fertility Massage Specialist, Birth & Postpartum Doula, and Placenta Encapsulation Specialist; living in Brighton & Hove in East Sussex. I'm originally from the North East of Scotland, and found my way down south via the conduit of acadaemia, working as a medical and physics researcher. After a life-changing

and almost devastating period of illness, I felt the necessity of aligning my professional life with my internal state, and followed my passion into the Doula world. Working as an academic for so many years stood me in great stead by giving me the tools to be able to investigate and fully understand the human body from an holistic perspective, in order to be able to bring myself back to full health; and it's this wisdom that I bring to each and every person and family I support under all my many hats. My motivation is always to learn more, and assimilate that information to be the best help I can be to the folk I work with. To that end, I am always undertaking courses to further my professional development, and acquire new skills. The philosophy by which I operate is through the lens of empowerment. I feel society as a whole draws so much from us, and never is this more true than when we are at our most vulnerable - whether birthing, trying to conceive, in pain, et cetera. I want everyone to feel empowered in empirical knowledge and trust of themselves to be able to advocate for the support and healing they truly want and need, whatever that looks like. My many and varied roles have drawn upon and augmented my skills in caring and stewardship, professionalism, confidentiality, commitment, kindness, understanding, empathy, enthusiasm, communication, and have instilled a strong sense of responsibility. This foundation allows me to always focus my clients at the epicentre of their own journey; building the experience that they seek together. I'm so excited to undertake this journey with you, and look forward to our time together!

...well,I say road, but rails would be more accurate!

I'm off on a mission across Sussex once again today, with a twofold mission...

1. To collect and bring home another precious placenta to work my magic on and turn into the most amazing remedies that will support this incredible family as they heal and journey together with all those vast and varied postpartum symptoms.

2. To go and hang out with another amazing family as we meet to begin their antenatal preparation for their exciting birthing journey.

Topping and tailing, or rather tailing and topping birth today! 🤣

Never a dull moment round the WellNyss way!

The memory train is chugging along at full speed once again today...

I wanted to follow up on my last post about my wee gallop around up the road with some more general details, and especially about some of the incredible businesses I had the joy of discovering along the way, especially the ones that went out of their way to be so accommodating to my dietary issues - you all absolutely made this trip for me, and I'm so grateful!

One: The Psychology Quad where I spent the majority of my time between ‘03 and ‘05...
Two: Sallies Quad, famous for grad and foam fights...
Three: Butt’s Wynd...never not funny, and where I learnt Arabic
Four: The Travellator...accosted a terrified student to ask, and yes, it is still known as this! Though they don’t apparently remember why...!
Five: Stoney harbour - always gorgeous
Six: Stoney beach in the snow - stunningly beautiful
Seven: Because no-one ever believes I’m from where they invented the deep friend Mars Bar...proof, baby!
Eight: Aikman’s, for all your pub needs 🍻

So, while not exactly an ‘announcement’, this was a massive deal in my own personal life that I would love to share just a wee window into with you lovely souls ❤️

Just last week I took a (n often literal!) sprint around just some edited highlights of my most precious ex-homes and favourite spots in my beloved homeland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

For the first time in…a lot of years, and for a LOT of reasons…I was able to briefly quench my homesickness and revel in being hame 🥹

Here you’ll find some very special memories from that trip, the first of which I think may be one of my favourite photos ever taken. Don’t be fooled by its initial appearance: It’s in a soulless shopping centre. It features two manic looking peeps, one of whom has mere seconds ago stepped off the last stage of a RIDICULOUS journey…but I swear to all the gods, the sheer joy and excitement and full-body memory that picture represents…I can’t begin to communicate. It brings me to tears just to write this poor reflection. Heather, you amazing, phenomenal, wonderful being of fabulousness! I can remember that hug so vividly! Magical! You are simply one of the finest humans ever to human, and I cannot for the life of me fathom why on earth you’re still in touch with me, never mind THIS excited to see me! You’re a bloody DEAN! (Which, incidentally, every time I think of that, I can only hear it as Jason Lee in Dogma when he says “I’m a fu***ng demon”…”I’m a fu***ng dean”! 🤣 Obscure reference for anyone with great taste in films!). Thank you for sacrificing so we could have such a beautiful window of connection as I blustered through Alba like the erstwhile Bert 🌪️

So please enjoy some breath-taking beauty, love, and of course, silliness from the gods’ own country 🌄

Epic client results got me feeling like a legit gangster today, ha!

I was baffled as to what my gorgeously lovely client was up to today, as we reached the end of our post-massage debrief, and they suddenly sat back down again after standing up to leave. I was immediately concerned something was wrong (Dizzy? Pain? Oh no!), and was about to leap into action, when they clarified that they'd been in so much pain that was SO VASTLY REDUCED by the treatment that they were WILLINGINGLY HOPPING UP AND DOWN, just to feel how GOOD the movement felt in comparison to when they first arrived at the clinic 🤣

I near ended myself pure falling about laughing!

Now, if you fancy THOSE EPIC RESULTS for yourself - it's so easy! Just hop on over to thewellnysstree.com, pick your favourite treatment type, and get ready to feel LEGENDARY! 💪

Alrighty, my data-loving dudes! I have got so much to share with you from yesterday's extravaganza - stats even I'd never encountered before, with all my years of learning and experience!

Today I'm starting with something so key for so unbelievably many: Facts you never knew about The Pill (Oral Contraceptive Pill).

Things fortunately seem to be changing these days, but many of my fellow millennial, 40+ folks will be only too familiar with the routine of being dragged to the GP, often even before your menarche, to be prescribed the Pill for seemingly everyone else's convenience. Whether it was acne, painful bleeds, just an irregular cycle, or even its supposed stated purpose of contraception(!); so, so many of us were thrust the non-negotiable prescription with zero screening, explanation, guidance, or recourse when it all went to s**t.

We just got to do our best to pick up the pieces.

Well, here are some of the explanations you've been denied for so long.

Truly terrifying data.

If you want or need support transitioning off these kinds of hormones with expert holistic womb care and therapeutics, I've got you!

Drop me a message, or book a chat to discuss your unique experiences - you don't have to do this alone ❤️

I even have my own dark and twisty story, which resulted in me having to work out how to restart an absent cycle completely by myself, while simultaneously in the throes of bed-binding chronic pain and disability - all without any allopathic medical support at all.

I'm here for you, because I know what it is to be alone with these experiences.

So excited to join at this super cool seminar in Brighton today, journeying through the menstrual cycle, fertility, and menopause in a fun day of CPD ❤️

that doulas can support you in all kinds of unexpected ways? 🧐

There's often a perception that doulas are all cut from the same cloth, and only offer the same limited range of support - which could not be further from the truth!

We're as varied as any other cross-section of humans, and our passions and services range accordingly!

Personally, one of the absolute joys of my life is helping birth partners come into their own, and feel fully empowered to bring the best of themselves and what they have to offer to the birth space and to the person they are partnering - whether that's a romantic partner, friend, family, whomever! 👶

So often, and for myriad reasons, birth partners tell me they feel excluded from the conversation, the space, the process as a whole - but it doesn't have to be that way! With Partner Prep Sessions, What'sApp messaging, my unique and specialised approach to birth planning, and much more besides, we'll have you interpretative dancing your way through delivery in no time! 🤣

Give me a shout and see how I can support your awesome birthing team today 🥰

IT HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!! I was on the amazing, the wondrous, the GLORIOUS Stevie Bees' list, and it CAME! My fantabulous, trans-affirming beaut of a t-shirt is HERE! AND I got to wear it at the final session of Q***r Clinic in its current iteration. Talk about moving. Suffice it to say, the floors were a smidge damp with tears by the time we left!

If you haven't heard of Stevie and their incredible work, first of all, why!? They are an incredible human, working flat out as a Gender Doula to support the trans community in the most holistic, powerful way imaginable.

You might have seen them go viral when Dr Who of all people (yes, I really am in great company with my style here!) was papped in a Stevie original - pretty damned cool, eh!?

My loves, this is a special one. I’m truly, overwhelmingly touched by this incredible feedback from Susanna. They've been on such a long journey managing pain, and knowing that our sessions have made such a difference means the world to me. 🌿 Every time someone walks through my door at The WellNyss Tree, I see it as an opportunity to listen, understand, and support their unique needs. Whether it’s working on specific areas like the psoas or sacrum, or just providing that space to completely let go, I’m here for it all.

Every single treatment is such an honour to give. To be trusted so deeply, to have developed such a comprehensive skillset, to be able to work so perfectly in alignment with so many bodies is just...beyond words. And then to witness these amazing folks experience such wildly radical results...? 🤯 When the client who was diagnosed with untreatable osteoarthritis and was told it would only get infinitely worse at an infinitely fast pace discovered I had fixed it in under an hour, I cried! When the traumatised soul with an horrific history of wild abuses and birth trauma experienced relief from the pain they had resigned themself to living with forever as they had done for the past decade, I nearly lost my sh*t! I think we're only too well aware at this point in history of the unbearable weight our allopathic practitioners are bearing within the NHS at the moment. Sometimes we clinically trained bodywork experts can not just relieve some of the pressure from these services, we may in fact be better placed to offer support and relief. Book yourself a consult and see if you can shortcut your way to becoming pain-free - let's see what we can do together. #ClientReviews #MassageTherapy #HolisticHealing #Bodywork #PainRelief #WellnessJourney #MassageBenefits #NHSAlternatives #BrightonMassage #BrightonTherapist #HolisticHealth #MindBodyHealing #AlternativeMedicine #HealingHands #MassageExpert #TherapeuticMassage #DeepTissueMassage #SportsMassage #StressRelief #SelfCare #BookYourMassage #MassageReview #ClientTestimonial #BrightonWellness #BrightonLife #BrightonWellbeing #MassageTherapist #HealingJourney #MassageMagic #WellnessTherapy

Our Story

My name is Nyssa, and I'm a Doula and Holistic Therapist, living in Brighton & Hove in East Sussex. I'm originally from the North East of Scotland, and found my way down south via the conduit of acadaemia, working as a medical and physics researcher. After a life-changing and almost devastating period of illness, I felt the necessity of aligning my professional life with my internal state, and followed my passion into the Doula world. Working as an academic for so many years stood me in great stead by giving me the tools to be able to investigate and fully understand the human body from an holistic perspective, in order to be able to bring myself back to full health; and it's this wisdom that I bring to the families I support in my role as a Doula. My motivation is always to learn more, and assimilate that information to be the best help I can be to the families I work with. To that end, I am always undertaking courses to further my professional development, and acquire new skills, such as Rebozo Therapy, and becoming a Placenta Encapsulation specialist. The philosophy by which I understand birth is through the lens of empowerment. I feel society as a whole draws so much from us, and never is this more true than when birth-givers are at their most vulnerable. I want everyone to feel empowered in empirical knowledge and trust of themselves to be able to advocate for the birth that they truly want and need, whatever that looks like. My many and varied roles have drawn upon and augmented my skills in caring and stewardship, professionalism, confidentiality, commitment, kindness, understanding, empathy, enthusiasm, communication, and have instilled a strong sense of responsibility. This foundation allows me to always focus my clients at the epicentre of their birthing journey; building the experience that they desire together. I'm so excited to undertake this journey with you, and look forward to our time together! With love, Nyssa.
