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.

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!

“I have a chronic pain condition, and I haven’t always enjoyed massages…” 👇

When you live with chronic pain, booking a massage can feel like a gamble. Will it be too intense? Will it make the flare-up worse? Will they listen?

Hearing Vanessa’s feedback after her first session with me made my heart soar:

🗣️ "As someone with a chronic pain condition I haven’t always enjoyed massages but this was perfect."

🗣️ "Starting with her pre-treatment form, I felt like the whole treatment was customised to my needs... She tackled some of my tricky areas, but at no point was the massage painful or too much."

🗣️ "Would highly recommend to anyone who spends their day sitting at a desk and/or suffers from chronic pain."

Massage doesn't need to hurt to make lasting structural shifts. By blending techniques and taking the time to truly understand your nervous system before you even step onto the table, we create deep release without the pain.

👀Have you seen those viral "somatic shaking" and "scream circle" videos on your feed lately? 👀

While shaking off stress is backed by real science, you don’t actually need to join a screaming circle in a park to reset your nervous system.

When we navigate daily stress, our bodies physically "armour" themselves - manifesting as tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, and shallow breathing. If we don't discharge that energy, it stays "trapped" (figuratively, not literally) in our tissues.

But true release doesn’t have to be loud. In fact, for an already exhausted nervous system, a quiet, deeply supportive space is often exactly what is needed to finally feel safe enough to let go.

Head to the link in my bio (alternatively, thewellnysstree.com/blog) to read my latest blog: "Do You Really Need to Scream? The Truth About ‘Somatic Release’", where I break down the science of stored stress and how I facilitate a quieter, analogue reset at The WellNyss Tree. 🌿

Let’s be honest: modern life is already full of decisions. Booking a moment of peace shouldn’t require a research project. 🧠✨

I’ve spent a decade listening to your bodies, and if there is one thing I know for sure, it’s that your needs change from week to week. A rigid menu of "fixed" treatments just doesn't cut it anymore.

So, I’ve completely reimagined how you book with The WellNyss Tree.

Moving forward, I’m removing the guesswork. You don't have to choose between MLD, Yoni Steaming, or Deep Tissue upfront. You simply choose how much time you want to step away from the world:

🕒 60 Mins – The Focused Reset
🕒 90 Mins – The Signature Session (The ultimate sweet spot)
🕒 120 Mins – The Deep Dive

Once you pick your time, you’ll get a simple smart form to tell me how you’re feeling. When you step into the room, we open up the toolkit together and blend exactly what your nervous system is asking for on the day.

No pressure. No picking the "wrong" thing. Just bespoke care, made beautifully simple.

Head over to the link in my bio to check out the fresh new booking page and claim your session. I can't wait to hold space for you. 💜

When Robin left this wonderful review, it reminded me of exactly why I founded The WellNyss Tree.

So often, people step into a bodywork session feeling a bit apprehensive. Will it hurt? Will my concerns be heard? Will I just be left on a table while someone goes through a rigid, automated routine?

For me, the actual bodywork is only half the equation. The other half is ensuring you feel completely taken care of from the moment you walk through the door.

That means:
✨ No surprises - explaining every step of the process in advance.
✨ No judgment - creating a safe space where you feel comfortable to ask questions and share what your body genuinely needs.
✨ True collaboration - treating your session as a partnership between your nervous system and my hands.

Whether you are dealing with chronic tension, digital burnout, or you simply need a space to step off the world for an hour, you deserve an experience that makes you feel both heard and restored.

Thank you so much, Robin, for trusting me with your care. I cannot wait to welcome you back to the table!

I can't tell you what this kind of feedback means to me. I joke with my clients all the time that "I'm the massage therapist that hates massage", but it's true!

I never found anywhere I belonged. I sobbed my way through abysmal training experiences. I've cringed and cowered and cried and slunk away more times than I can count.

And I've used all of that exclusion and pain and lack of comfort and overall bad practice to craft the perfect bodywork experience for whomever steps over my threshold.

Whatever you and your body need is what I strive to offer every single time - acceptance, accommodations, wisdom, training, experience, exceptional bodywork, and the warmest hug if you're a hugger and would like one.

YOU are the expert in your body, and I trust YOU.

No-one else can literally EVER know what it feels like to live inside your body, so I defer to that expertise, always. I work collaboratively to combine your expertise in your body with my expertise in bodywork to optimise your perfect treatment.

So when I receive feedback like this, from folk who have literally put off seeking help for years for reasons similar to my own...I just don't have words for how moved I am.

I'm so proud to serve my amazing community.
Thank you all for your trust, love and support

🙏❤️🙏

My loves! How gorgeous are these beautiful samples from the amazing ?!

They have a huge range of amazing journals, affirmation cards, etc, and I've had the delight of receiving their new parent journal, plus birthing and new parent affirmation cards decks, making them perfect shower gifts!

I'm considering stocking these at the Tree...what do you think? Would you love these for yourself or to purchase as gifts?

Shall I do an "unboxing" so you can see them for yourself?

Let me know!!

In honour of , today's post is a special gift for that incredibly niche subset of humans who fit into what I suspect to be a population represented by a Venn diagram consisting of two almost entirely independent circles: Massage fans and wrestling fans! It's been a rough couple of weeks of announcements, so a little humour to chivvy us all along seemed to me to be the order of the day 🤣🤼‍♀💆‍♀️

And for the normal folks, the same message still applies, ha!

When I started this journey, my goal was always to provide more than just a massage - I wanted to provide a sanctuary. 🌿

Receiving words like these from Frank reminds me why I do what I do. For those living with chronic pain or disabilities, finding a space where you feel safe and truly heard by someone living through it themselves is everything.

Thank you, Frank, for trusting me with your wellness journey. It is an honour to help you feel at home in your body again. ✨
