Serena Williams is finding new ways to boost her confidence less than a year after giving birth.
The 42-year-old tennis star, who recently showed off her curves in a pink suit and low-cut shirt, made the decision to instagram to share a video of her recovering her body with a spa treatment aimed at the scars on her abdomen.
“Being okay with taking time for myself is something I’ve always struggled with,” the retired athlete wrote in the caption.
“I finally started to feel good about taking an hour (during nap time) away from my kids and working on doing something for myself,” she explained.
In the clip, the Michigan native lay on the treatment table wearing a white crochet top and matching skirt.
Serena Williams took to Instagram to share a video of her getting her body back with a spa treatment targeting the scars on her abdomen.
“Being okay with taking time for myself is something I’ve always struggled with,” the retired athlete wrote in the caption.
“I always feel guilty about leaving them, but I also have to remember that taking care of myself will only help me take better care of them,” she added.
Williams went on to explain how he came to the procedure and how he can already see the results.
‘On my last trip to Paris, a friend of mine invited me to a spa day. She knows that after two babies I have been self-conscious about my belly. I just had to post this video she took.
‘The results have been surprising. I can see the progress, my skin returns to normal and my confidence returns. Listen, my body will never be the same but neither will I because I have 2 amazing lights in my life. @Olympiaohanian and @adiraohanian,’ she wrote.
The mother-of-two continued: “I will always love my birth scars, but I just wanted to thank my friend Mia and Nat for letting me know that it’s okay to take some time for myself, away from work and the kids.”
‘@maison_lutetia @nat_lutetia I will continue posting updates. I’m doing a kind of radiofrequency on my belly and the results have been surprising,’ she concluded.
She encouraged her 17.2 million followers to share their own stories of self-care struggles in the comments.
The post was a success, racking up more than 188,000 likes, including one from actress Lupita Nyong’o, and 2.7 thousand comments.
Serena welcomed her second daughter, named Adira River Ohanian, last August with her husband Alexis Ohania.
