Pregnancy Massage

Feel fantastic before and after your baby!

Have you noticed that your pregnancy is a time of enormous physical and also emotional change?

There is no more important time than now, to take special care of yourself and your growing baby.

I use a specially built pregnancy massage table so you can feel comfortable and I have lots of experience having worked as a Midwife for 12 years and massaged thousands of women over the last 20 years.

Studies point strongly to benefits such as quicker labours and fewer complications for mother and baby when therapeutic massage is incorporated into antenatal care. You can receive Pregnancy Massage from 12 weeks gestation and even into the postnatal period.

How can Pregnancy Massage help me?

It helps relieve common discomforts of pregnancy such as an aching back, sore hips, sciatic nerve pain, tight neck and leg cramps associated with carrying an "extra load". It will improve your flexibility, reduce swollen feet and ankles and help carpel tunnel syndrome.

Pregnancy Massage assists in stimulating your circulation, resulting in more oxygen and nutrients to you and baby and better removal of waste from your system.

Learning to relax deeply and completely is vital to prepare yourself for labour, and during a session this important skill can be practiced. You both benefit from the increase of “relaxation” hormones that are produced and decrease of “stress” hormones. Fatigue, nervous tension and insomnia are lessened leaving you feeling relaxed, positive and energised.

If baby becomes overdue I can use specific pressure points to help induce labour.

Pregnancy Massage also helps restore equilibrium in the postnatal period, relieve postpartum discomfort and fatigue and quicken your postnatal recovery.

What can I expect?

You will be totally indulged, whilst lying on a purpose built pregnancy table (where most women find they can lie comfortably on their front). Privacy is assured and you will be covered, apart from the area of your body being worked on. Massage pressure will be adjusted to your needs, while gentle acupressure on points specific to pregnancy, will help balance and relieve minor complaints.

Choose from relaxing instrumental music or "Transforming Birth" - a Hypno-birthing experience designed to create expectation of a natural, easy and comfortable birth.

As a one off, or regular part of your pregnancy care, prepare to feel fantastic! Having massaged pregnant women for over 20 years, I have witnessed the rewards you will both receive numerous times.
