Pregnancy
massage
The ultimate prenatal self care massage - from 14 weeks to full term
Pregnancy massage
Pregnancy is such a time of massive change, so time to relax and care for yourself (and therefore your baby) should be non-negotiable.
We aim to fully support you during your pregnancy journey, adapting treatments to the individual to create the most relaxing and comfortable experience.
This nurturing full-body massage is side lying. We use gentle rocking, pressing and soft tissue techniques with specially formulated and natural essential oils suitable for pregnancy. Nowhere is left out as we target particular areas of discomfort whilst you lie on one side and then the other, before sitting up to have your face, head and bump massaged.
Massage help alleviate aches and pains and other common pregnancy experiences, reduce stress, bond & prepare you for birth. You simply feel great as you release endorphins! Every massage is different and may also include a meditation or breathing practices if you wish or additional movement suggestions that might complement your massage & wellbeing.
We can also combine breath work, sound therapy and meditation, should you wish a longer and more therapeutic massage.
