What is Pregnancy Massage ?
A nurturing treatment that can work deeply, but gently, to ease common patterns of tension experienced in pregnancy, as well as offering a protected space & held time for you to connect with yourself & your baby.
Encouraged from 16 weeks, it is a safe treatment for women to ease physical and emotional tensions during this special, but sometimes challenging time.
Used as a preventative step from early stage pregnancy, regular treatments can help to ease tensions and correct postural changes, as the body adapts to the growing baby & changing shape.
Kinesiology tape may be applied if appropriate or required, to help manage specific conditions, and reflexology and Ayurvedic face massage are also safe in pregnancy, and can be incorporated depending on the desired outcome of treatment.

Post Natal
Looking after yourself following the birth of your baby (or babies) must not be under-estimated!
Treatments can offer vital time & space for you to heal both on an emotional, as well as a physical level.
Hands-on treatments, Kinesiology Taping and advise may help relieve tension patterns that are often experienced around the upper / mid back and neck area, following awkward breast-feeding positions & carrying & lifting a new baby. The same for low back / hip & pelvic pain patterns associated with late-stage pregnancy and birth.
Burn-out in motherhood is real. Exhaustion from night feeds & an interrupted routine, birth trauma, on-going fatigue and potential health related changes post pregnancy and birth are a potential recipe for long-lasting pain and/or mental health issues. Self care is not a luxury.
Ladies with C-Section scars may be interested in our Scar Work treatments.
