Rumbling Tummy!
Have you ever noticed whether or not you have recently eaten your tummy starts to rumble during your massage? Did you know this is actually a positive response that your body is having to “slowing down”.
Our bodies have two nervous systems - our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. You may have also heard these referred to as fight or flight (sympathetic) or rest and digest (parasympathetic)?
Unfortunately, we spend more of our time in flight or flight mode, meaning that we are often living in a survival mode. This is great if we are faced with a stand off with a tiger for example but not for elongated periods.
When you come in for a massage especially when its to manage stress, one of the main goals is to help you move into your parasympathetic response. When your tummy starts to rumble that's a good indication you are moving into rest and digest.
So next time your tummy rumbles during a massage, please don't apologise, know that your body is doing exactly what it needs to do.

Our Story
Hello I'm Donna!
Welcome to my page. I'm a Mum of two girls Mila and Evie and a wifey. Six years ago I threw in the ‘9-9’ of the corporate world and perused a passion into natural wellness, and have never been happier or healthier!
My main focus here at Halcyon Wellness is my Remedial and Pregnancy Massages. This work absolutely lights me up. Its where I feel most creative, intuitive and at peace. Alas I love the diversity of my business. I get to soak up all the gooeyness in teaching new Mums and Dads how to incorporate the art baby massage into their new world; and I get to share my experience and joy in creating a natural healthy home in other fun workshops.
Since becoming a Mum my passion has developed into not only supporting Mums and Mums to be on the obvious physical element of specialised Pregnancy Massage Therapy, but wanting to help create a village for new Mums also from the emotional side. After my first baby I noticed a significant gap in the village and where to find appropriate support. As a Post Natal Doula and look forward to bringing my spin and services to the forefront, helping build a supportive village for new Mums to help them feel all the feels of Motherhood and be able to wholeheartedly embrace it without comparison and tap into their intuition -> Check the events tab!
