about
Hello, I'm Fallon and I came to live in the lovely Christleton in 2021 with my partner and two girls. We decided to move back up North to be closer to family and because we missed the northern sense of humor- definitely not for the weather. Although the four seasons in one day is growing on me.
​
I am a qualified Sports Therapist or what you can call a movement & soft tissue therapist. I have added to that with courses aimed at women wellness, such as Scar Therapy and Trauma and the Body. As well as injury rehabilitation, I focus on the movement of the body and restoring it to a carefree level. So whether it's aches and pains or a chronic injury that's bothering you, I can help.
I do this by listening to your story and completing a background picture. I believe that hands-on therapy is necessary to kick-start the healing process. We then work together to balance and strengthen the muscle groups that allow for good posture, mobility, and agility. The exercise therapy entails small, area-specific movements. The hands-on maintenance work continues throughout the sessions to keep the body free from adhesions and provide relief from aches, pains, and injuries. I also use hands-on techniques such as Muscle Energy, which activate and strengthen muscles.
​
I have always loved working with people and originally studied to become a social worker. The connection between our experiences and how our body reacts and holds onto things fascinates me. I believe that to truly feel better we need to focus on the whole person, physically and emotionally.
my story
The short version is that I had a baby, Lula. Lula and her baby sister Phoebe are my life, my everything, always on my mind and part of every decision I make. They are in part the reason I set up Women Wellness Hub and the reason I try to be a better person. The kind I want them to be and the kind that I hope they will befriend. This brings me to the next point: women supporting women. It's a big thing to me. It's something I wish I had done more and seen more in my life. But when better to start than now?
​
Back to when it started- I had a traumatic birth experience when my daughter was born. For various reasons. It shook me to my core and it led to a list of other problems. I became laser-focused on my family but felt I had lost my identity and that there was no time for me without it being taken away from them. I had no self-care routine and flicked between thinking I could take on anything and feeling close to burning out.
​
I enlisted the help of family. I had also sustained a back injury shortly after giving birth which was causing me a lot of daily pain and was stopping me from doing many things. I searched high and low for the right manual therapist and she made me realize that everything was linked. My back pain, the sleepless nights, the guilt, the constant adrenaline soaring through my body, the stress and tension, and even the ridiculously close connection I had with my daughter. And it all stemmed from that traumatic birth. That's when I found out about PTSD after a traumatic birth.
I worked on my health physically and emotionally whilst getting back into work, which for me was very important. At first, it felt selfish, that I was spending money and time I shouldn't be spending on myself. But I realized it was necessary in order to feel better and it made me a better mum.
I started feeling "normal" again. That's when I was ready to start going out, meeting up with friends who I hadn't seen for ages, visiting my cousins, and planning stuff. Things excited me again. And I started to think about setting up this concept. Because I found it hard to know where to start and who to turn to. What was missing and how to get it back. I kept hearing about other women not knowing how to go about meeting new friends. Isolated women who lived to work but wanted more, lonely mums. Women with other issues, feeling trapped, financial dependency, anxiety, long covid, the list goes on. But all women wanting to make a change, wanting to feel more energized in life, standardize a self-care routine, gain new interests, and feel more empowered and healthier. So for those women and my daughters, I set up Women Wellness Hub.
aims
Women Wellness Hub is my helping hand to anybody who wants to be part of a community of like-minded women in Chester. Where you can find the help you need from manual therapy, fun socials, an online or in-person book club, trade swaps to make life easier, or a good old natter over a coffee. Where women support women.
​
Also, if you own a business you can always approach me and we can talk about doing some work together. If your services are aimed at wellness for women, I'm more than happy to put you in the spotlight on my website. Even if you're offering the same service as I am- there's no "one size fits all" in this profession. There are different manual therapists for different people.
​
My journey won't be everybody's journey and you might need a different approach. But the basics remain- look after yourself, your body, and your mind. And that's where I can help.

completely irrelevant things that fascinate me
Extensions, window frames, large windows, dormers, and bifold doors. So if you ever notice me peeping over at your house, I'm not spying on you. I'm just looking at how your extension was done.
​
The sea, beautiful cakes, and lists. I love making a list.
​
I promise you I'm completely normal.
