Pregnancy Massage
First things first
Congratulations on creating a new life. The changes we experience throughout pregnancy are mindblowing and unique. There’s a lot of newness and adaptation - physically, mentally and emotionally.
I have completed advanced training specifically for pregnancy massage (Aug2023) and I’m comfortable and experienced in massaging in all trimesters. I have also been pregnant and had a baby. Let me support you on your journey to birth and beyond.
How can holistic massage help in pregnancy?
Relieve muscle tension and achy joints
Boost circulation to reduce swelling
Improve skin condition to lessen stretch marks
A space to totally relax in a time of uncertainty, fear or anxiety of birth
Feel more like yourself and in touch with who you are at this time
Mentally prepare for labour and life with a newborn
Receive some tenderness and care. What you’re doing is quite remarkable and you are amazing!
Considerations:
As with all massages; please read the What to Expect page. Additions and considerations for pregnancy include:
Would you like this experience in the comfort of your own home? I can come to you.
Please share your pregnancy journey and if you wish, your feelings about your birth/parent-hood.
I’ll ensure you’re as comfortable as possible whether semi-reclined, side lying, b.y.o. ball, seated or floor massage.
I have suitable pregnancy massage oils and lovely herbal tea.
Optional inclusion of your bump in massage - many love connecting to baby this way, others would rather not - and that’s absolutely respected.
