Amazing experience with every session! Highly recommend and a must try!
After birth, the body benefits from gentle support to rebalance its internal fluid system—both physically and energetically. Pregnancy and labour create profound shifts in circulation, lymphatic flow, and the subtle rhythms that help the body regulate and restore itself. Supporting this rebalancing process can ease recovery, improve comfort, and help you feel more like yourself again.
Over the course of nine months, the body undergoes significant change. Connective tissue stretches under sustained strain, the ribs expand, the spine adapts, and the pelvis shifts to make space for the baby you carried. These changes don’t simply disappear after birth—they can remain held in the body, sometimes as tension, restriction, or discomfort.
The experience of birth—whether Caesarean or vaginal—affects the body not only physically, but also hormonally and emotionally. These layers of experience can stay stored in the system, influencing how you feel day to day.
Conditions such as PGP, SPD, sacral dysfunction, prolapse, or post-surgical tension may improve naturally over time, but often benefit from additional support to fully resolve. Similarly, with diastasis recti, while physical rehabilitation is essential, hands-on support for the muscles and fascia can help restore elasticity after prolonged stretching—enhancing the effectiveness of exercise and recovery work.
For those who have had a C-section, scar tissue can sometimes feel tight or restrictive. Working with the body can help soften these areas, supporting better mobility and comfort.
Even if your pregnancy and birth were relatively smooth, postnatal care remains valuable. Supporting the nervous system to shift out of stress mode can improve rest, aid hormonal balance, and create space for deeper recovery during this important transition.
“Maggie has the ability to make a tired, lumpy, worn out new Mum feel like she has a real chance at getting her swagger back. The workouts are enjoyably hard and carefully designed to concentrate on the areas that pregnancy has taken its toll. She is an incredible motivator and instils the belief that getting back to your pre-pregnancy figure and energy levels, is not far off. She is also very good company along the way and empathetic having two young children of her own, although don’t expect her to go soft as she has your goal in sight even if you are not clear what it is yet! You will learn to love the plank and all exercises involving an inflatable ball.”
Profoundly helpful reconfiguring work after a spinal cord injury. M is calm, knowledgeable and supportive.
Maggie's Deep Tissue Massage is an amazing experience. Her sessions are a perfect combination of therapeutic manipulation and wonderful relaxation and are truly invigorating. I could literally feel my blood flow increasing at great speed. Maggie has sound knowledge of anatomy and tailors her sessions to perfection. I left the room feeling brand new!
Several of my friends went to see Margaretta and my curiousity was building! I've found the sessions to be completly profound and inspirational. Margaretta provides a safe and inviting space to unpack and learn on your healing journey. She's a deeply intuitive, caring and obviously very talented practitioner. During my work with Margaretta I've noticed that I've been able to go to places I've never been before and work on material in layers I've never visited before. It's been a life affirming and her reassuring presence and encouragement has made this possible. I've heard people talk about seeing healers but never quite got it. Now I get it. Thankyou Margaretta for everything.
Maggie has been a wonderful support to me through treatment for breast cancer and afterwards. She is very intuitive about what my body (and mind) needs and has been able to recognise this and express it in ways that I (and most of us) are often unable to. More recently Maggie has supported me through a very difficult and anxious time immediately post treatment, treating me with confidence and holding me exceptionally well emotionally. I feel very safe in Maggie’s competent hands - they are both magic and very healing. Thank you Maggie!
Maggie is a calm, intuitive, knowledgeable woman who offered a space of healing and rest for myself. I worked with maggie through a time of crisis in my life. I was extracting my self from a long term abusive relationship, and living with many external responsibilities and internal trauma that I was carrying with in my body and mind . With out talking as you would a counsellor ( we did little talking ) maggie knew. Her intuition and ability know how and where to work is a gift. It was a gift I gave my self. I felt safe with her, that trust has been important in my healing, because it is very easy to cut off from your body and not feel but it remembers, and carries it, holds on to it.. maggie worked with me so I could move forward.. to today and today is good .
I seeked Margarita’s help due to a a head /jaw injury and arthritis, however it has proved to be so much more. As my energy is flowing freer, physical injury is healed, I am released of subconscious trauma and limiting beliefs to embrace a more present experience of life. Margarita is very knowledgeable, kind and eloquent in explaining scientifically backed research. I am grateful for having been introduced to Margarita.
“Training with Maggie has been great fun! I have had three babies back to back, they are six, four and eighteen months. After having my third I literally felt like i’d been in a car crash! My back, neck and shoulders were constantly aching, and although I am lucky to have never been over weight, I had gained a tyre around my middle which I was incredibly self concious and unhappy about. I joined a gym which has been great but I mainly stuck to classes as I found the advice and guidance or the gym instructors completely useless. This is where Maggie has really helped me out. She assessed me and told me exactly what was wrong with me, and where I was out of alignment. However, most importantly she has showed me the right excercises I need to do to correct my problems. It has been amazing, my back, neck and shoulders are nearly back to normal and my tyre has almost gone. I feel stronger and have loads more energy, and can see my body shape changing, which is really rewarding. I have found a new love for fitness which I never had before! I love going to the gym now, thank you Maggie.”
Hi Margarita, it's Holly here. We met back in September around my struggles with vertigo. I wanted to let you know I was tested and have since been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD. I cannot thank you enough, from the bottom of my heart, for identifying this in me. It really feels like the most precious discovery. Something I've been strangely energised by, and am excited to see where this new understanding of myself will lead. You will forever be a special human in my life, and for that I am so grateful
I was looking for something more than a massage but wasn’t sure what, until I had a treatment with Maggie and I’m so pleased I did. Kind caring and naturally hones in on what you and your body needs.
Maggie is a natural healer, with a beautiful soul. I came to Maggie after many years of pain. Everyone I went to varied with their opinions and I usually was in more pain after their sessions. I have been to 3 sessions, and already beginning to heal. I couldn’t hardly walk after Covid now I can walk three miles with no pain. My body is learning to relax instead of going into fight or flight. There was so much fear and trauma that had built up over the years and so much has been released. I will still go for further treatments as I feel I still have some more work to do. I completely trust this beautiful lady. Thank you Maggie with so much love from my heart and soul.💜💜💜

“I never thought that at the age of 84 I would be having one to one sessions with a Personal Trainer but after speaking with Maggie I had to give it a go. I explained how I was having problems with my pelvic floor. My GP had said that it was old age and I should just accept that this is the way it will be. Maggie on the other hand said the pelvic floor is a muscle and like all muscles they can be strengthen and improved. I saw her for 8 weeks, she took me through various core exercises as well as pelvic floor exercises and now I do them at home every day and my pelvic floor is much stronger. I no longer have that sense of urgency that would always send me into a panic.”
I had a fantastic experience with Margarita for my Psychic Reading. Her gentleness and insight made me feel seen in such depth, and so held. The reverberations of our work together are still going through my system, and I am already seeing some shifts happening for me. She definitely contributed to putting in motion and fostering an important transformation for me.
I was recommended Margarita by a friend recently. I went to see her because of the stress of post operative pain and needed my mind and body calming. I have found her to be compassionate, confident and wise. She is incredibly experienced, intuitive and insightful; both of my psyche and my body. I have a very deep trust in her and the treatments have unfolded beyond my 'presenting issues' into something deeper and more profound.
While passing through Brighton last year, I was referred to Maggie for a massage and thankfully took my friends advice. I have worked in the health field for 20+ years and I am often reluctant to get massages from unknown practitioners, as they often lack even a back understanding of physiology. Maggie is quite a special in that she has a deep knowledge base, and is both interested and passion about physical recovery. It would be wrong to categorise what she does as a simply 'massage', as she is, in the truest sense of the word, a healer. It was one of the most relaxing massages I've ever received, but most importantly, in one session she was able to make lasting corrections to a long standing shoulder issue I've had. She is incredibly kind and caring, and I would like to pass on that very lucky recommendation I received a year ago, as it was more then deserved. Anthony Lucero, USA
Incredible. Life changing! Amazing! HIGHLY recommended 🧘♀️🦋🩵
Maggie is amazing , truly a gifted person who can help you in so many ways . It’s impossible to explain exactly what Maggie does but I can honestly say if you are treated by her you will be blessed and leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated with the knowledge on how you can move forward .
I had marvellous treatments with Maggie. She is phenomenally talented and insightful. Our sessions were moving and effective. I believe some of the deeply relaxing work she did on my nervous system helped me recover from stress-related fertility problems.
"Maggies sessions are fantastic and a lesson both me and my baby really look forward to each week. They are excellent if you are keen to get back in to shape but want to do this with your baby and so encouraging play and bonding. The classes are small with emphasis on tailoring sessions to the individuals and babies present. I started the classes when my daughter was 3 months old. She loves the classes whether she is watching the other babies, the other mums or participating as a weight for my exercises!! Maggie is a great motivator and has been fantastic helping me get in shape."
“Invaluable advice!! thanks so much for coming over! Maggie definitely has made me think about my posture, and I have been doing the exercises, and pelvic floor exercises every day.”
Its very hard to put this experience into words. I have had opportunity to meet Maggie during my second visit to Brighton. She is an intuitive and connected therapist, figures out need of body and works according to it. During my massage session, I could feel strong tangible flow of energies into my body, which healed me of every minor stiffness and other energy blockages. I can happily recommend her to anyone who wants a deeper experience of massage therapy. Thank you Maggie. Blessings, Vipin
"I can’t thank you enough for all your help, support and above all, making it fun and personal. You have done wonders and I always tell people how fab you are. Will definitely be back for more if we are lucky enough to have a baby number 2."
Maggie is wonderful at what she does, my experiences with her so far have been extremely healing and it completely shocked me at how much it unpacked for me mentally. I always feel lighter and less anxious when I leave after a session and it blows my mind that this can be done without even being touched! Her work definitely goes deeper than the surface level of my chronic pain and I’m hopeful and positive working with her regularly will continue my healing journey physically and mentally. Thankyou Maggie! :’)
“I started working out with Maggie Bennett about four months after having my second child. I’d found it hard to lose the baby weight after this particular pregnancy (I’m 5ft1” and normally a size 8-10, but had just had an 11lb baby) so I’d pretty much assumed my bikini days were over! Then Maggie came along and changed all of that. Not only did she change my body shape, my energy levels and also my rate of fitness, but she also completely altered my attitude to exercise – and I’d thought all of that was impossible! If I could give any woman any piece of advice it is this: Don’t buy that dress or that cake or that nail polish. Instead, treat yourself to some one-to-one workouts with Maggie. Why? Because, in the long run, it will be money better spent. I worked bloody hard for one hour a week (all the time I could spare as a busy mum) but it really worked. After each workout, Maggie gave me lots of nutritional advice too. I really appreciated this and I have to say that the two things combined were the recipe for getting fit, slim and healthy. Lots of trainers might specialise in women’s fitness, but Maggie just seems to know exactly what needs to be done to put things back together again. If you get a chance to sign up for training with Maggie, just do it (because she gets booked up pretty quickly and her sessions are gold dust). Working out with her gave me the right balance of encouragement and good results. It changed my life because she made me want to exercise.” “Incidentally, in my first five weeks of working out with Maggie, I lost 5” off my waist. She’s amazing.”
I can’t put into words how healing the session was for me! Margerita captured so many of my feelings that I struggled to express. It honestly blew my mind how accurate the reading was, while also shining a light on things I hadn’t realized. It really expanded my awareness! Before the session, I felt a bit off-kilter and closed off, but afterward, I felt so much lighter and open, with a fresh sense of clarity and direction. 🙏 I’m so grateful to have experienced the gifts of such a kind and talented healer who spreads so much light and healing! Thank you!
