Care as ritual. Transformation as return.
Ouro is a practice devoted to caring for you through the changing seasons of life.
Each treatment is considered a ritual: an opportunity to listen, respond and give you exactly the care you need in that moment. Drawing on Lymphatic Drainage, Soft Tissue techniques and specialist Caesarean Scar Therapy, every session is thoughtfully tailored to you.
This work has naturally led Ouro towards specialised care for women, particularly through pregnancy, postnatal life, menopause and the physical aftermath of abdominal surgery.
Rooted in the belief that change is cyclical, Ouro takes its name from the ouroboros, the ancient symbol of renewal: that for every ending there is a new beginning.
“Roberta’s touch is so unique. There’s an energy that exudes from her that makes you feel so held and supported”
—Georgie, Ouro Client
Treatments
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Ouro’s Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a treatment developed and refined over many years of study, research and hands-on practice. It combines precise, rhythmic techniques with the sculpting movements of the Brazilian method, working with the body’s lymphatic system to encourage lymph flow and support the movement of fluid through the tissues.
Light, gentle and surprisingly powerful, it can help to reduce swelling and heaviness while creating a lighter, more defined feeling in the body. Soft dry brushing is incorporated into the treatment to further stimulate the skin and lymphatic system.
Particularly beneficial following surgery, during periods of recovery, after long-haul travel, or whenever the body is feeling congested or sluggish.
A course of treatments can be particularly effective when ongoing lymphatic support is needed.
• 55 minutes is a targeted treatment £110
• 110 minutes includes full body and face £210
Postnatal Manual Lymphatic Drainage
A gentle, rhythmic treatment designed to support lymphatic flow as the body recovers after birth. It can be particularly helpful when experiencing swelling, heaviness or fluid retention, offering focused support during the early postnatal period.
The treatment is adapted to your stage of recovery and can be particularly valuable following Caesarean birth, alongside specialist scar therapy once appropriate.
Suitable from 2 weeks postnatal, subject to clearance from your doctor or maternity care provider and provided there are no relevant contraindications. If unsure please email me before booking in.
This is a considered time to pause, receive and allow your body to be cared for during the early weeks of motherhood.

Pregnancy Lymphatic Drainage
A gentle, rhythmic treatment designed to support lymphatic flow during pregnancy, particularly when the legs, ankles, feet, arms or back are feeling swollen, heavy or uncomfortable.
Performed in a supported side-lying position with specialist pregnancy pillows and soft blankets, the treatment works with the body’s natural lymphatic movement to encourage the circulation of fluid through the tissues and ease feelings of puffiness.
A deeply soothing treatment that offers welcome relief as your body changes throughout pregnancy.
Available from the second trimester

Pregnancy Bodywork
A full-body treatment designed specifically for pregnancy, received in a comfortable side-lying position and supported with specialist pregnancy pillows and soft blankets.
A considered combination of pressures, including deeper Soft Tissue techniques where appropriate, works with areas that commonly carry extra load during pregnancy, particularly the lower back, hips and legs. The treatment can help to ease muscular tension, reduce feelings of heaviness and support comfort as the body changes.
Each session is adapted to your stage of pregnancy and how you are feeling on the day, creating time to slow down, be properly supported and cared for.
55 minutes £85
Restorative Bodywork
A deeply relaxing full-body massage, combining long, soothing movements with more focused hands-on work where the body needs it. The treatment follows a carefully developed sequence, with subtle adjustments made throughout to meet you where you are on the day.
Working intuitively with your breath, the treatment helps to release areas of contraction and create a feeling of space in the body. Soft Tissue and fascial techniques are woven into the treatment alongside considered pressure, allowing the work to feel both nurturing and purposeful.
A chance to properly slow down, switch off and receive.
Suitable for postnatal care from 8 weeks after birth
55 minutes £85
Caesarean Scar Therapy
The treatment begins with an initial consultation and assessment, carefully evaluating the scar tissue and surrounding areas to tailor the treatment to your needs.
Through a combination of hands-on techniques and, if necessary, the use of specialised tools, working to address issues such as numbness, restricted movement, and scar appearance.
Beyond the physical benefits, this session provides a safe space for you to express and process any aspects of your experience.
While I typically recommend a series of 2-6 sessions for optimal results, many clients experience significant improvements even after just the first session.
Your 1st session can begin from 8 weeks post surgery if the scar is healed and sealed (meaning no scabs remain on the scar and nothing is oozing from the scar)
