Serena Williams is finding new ways to increase 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 plunging shirt — took to Instagram to share a video of herself reclaiming her body with a spa treatment that targets her tummy scars.
‘Being ok to take time for myself is something I have always struggled with,’ the retired athlete penned in the caption.
‘I finally started started being ok to take an hour (during nap time ) away from my kids and work to do something for myself,’ she explained.
In the clip, the Michigan native lay on the treatment table rocking a white crochet top and matching skirt.

‘I always feel guilty leaving them but I have to also remember taking care of myself, will only help me take better care of them,’ she added.
Williams went on to explain how she came across the procedure and how she can already see results.
‘On my last trip to Paris a girlfriend of mine treated me to a spa day. She knows after 2 babies I have been self conscious of my tummy. I just had to post this video she took.
‘The results have been amazing. I can see progress with my skin going back to normal and my confidence coming back. Listen my body will never be the same but neither will I cause I have 2 amazing lights in my life. @Olympiaohanian and @adiraohanian,’ she wrote.
The mother-of-two continued, ‘I will always love my birthing scars but I just wanted to say thanks to my friend Mia and Nat for letting me know it’s ok to take time for myself away from work and kids.
‘@maison_lutetia @nat_lutetia I’ll keep posting updates. I am getting a type of radio frequency on my tummy and the results have been amazing,’ she finished.
She encouraged her 17.2million followers to share their own self-care struggle stories in the comments.
The post was a hit racking up over 188k like, including one from actress Lupita Nyong’o, and 2.7k comments.
Serena welcomed her second daughter — named Adira River Ohanian — last August with husband Alexis Ohania.
