I had a chat with Maz O'Connor today. She's an Intimo Consultant, an amazing company whose aim is to "make women Feel Good, every day". We talked about how she works with women to gain body-confidence post Cancer therapy and Lipoedema, as part of her job. I also enjoyed hearing about how well the company […]
What comes first? Listening. That's what comes first. So many women with Lipoedema have never been heard - by the medical fraternity, their families/partners or their friends. Sometimes, being able to tell your story, the whole story, is the beginning of a slow process of healing and learning to love and accept yourself. Having your […]
I'm sharing the story of one of my clients. She posted this in a lipoedema group to show others what can be done conservatively alongside lipoedema surgery so that the best results can be achieved.

These are such strange times and we’re all trying to navigate our way in a completely changed world. I’m not in the habit of sending newsletters and I promise I’m not about to send them regularly now. I do feel, however, it is important to tell you what’s happening here at The Oasis during this […]
I was at a Lipoedema group lunch last week and got chatting with the ladies and the discussion came around to how difficult it is sometimes for Stage 1 Lippy Ladies to see themselves in the photos and literature online.
