Pregnancy Aromatherapy Massage

Massage during pregnancy can bring great comfort during the 9 months as well as being able to relieve physical ailments such as sacroiliac & hip pain, swelling, constipation, nausea, cramp, sciatica, circulation problems and tiredness. On a more emotional level we can explore any anxieties you may have and build confidence in preparing for the birth and caring for your baby. This massage has featured in many magazines including Pregnancy & Birth and Vogue’s best treatment list.

Prenatal Massage Table

My specially designed prenatal massage table has space for your growing bump and breasts giving you the opportunity to safely lie face down and really relax. “There were times when I wanted to fling myself down on the massage table as soon as I got into the room. It’s bliss. I can still remember the sensation of having my lower back freed from strain”

Maternity Reflexology

Having your feet massaged in pregnancy is a real delight and maternity reflexology can address many discomforts in pregnancy including anxiety, morning sickness, indigestion, constipation, poor circulation and swollen ankles. Treatments are especially useful towards the end of pregnancy, preparing you emotionally and physically for birth. When overdue my labour priming treatment has the added benefits of including aromatherapy massage and craniosacral techniques.

Pre and Postnatal Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy helps at all stages of pregnancy by deeply relaxing both mother and baby. In pregnancy your body needs to be able to function as best it can. Anxiety and fear around miscarriage, limiting birth beliefs and difficult previous birth experiences can create stress and tension in any area of the body; especially the pelvis and can contribute to a more difficult labour. Your treatment will help to gently release this tension allowing mum and baby to thrive. A well-balanced and relaxed pelvis can greatly ease the process of childbirth and postnatal recovery.
