A small red dot appears on the skin, and suddenly, a person finds themselves wondering whether it needs attention or not.

For many mums, self-care often ends up at the bottom of an ever-growing to-do list. Between school drop-offs, household responsibilities, work commitments, and family activities, finding time for yourself can feel impossible.
