Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy is a beautiful and natural condition. But for most women, pregnancy is a mixed bag of physical, emotional and spiritual concerns which can include aches and pains, overwhelming tiredness, nausea and mood swings.

Massage sessions can bring back a sense of body - mind integration, putting you into a state of relaxation and calm acceptance of your continually evolving form. Even women who have never been drawn to having a massage in their life will be delighted with the way that this gentle non-invasive massage can relieve some of the discomfort and pain of pregnancy, ease their stress and enhance their relationship with their body and unborn child.

What Does a Session Involve?

A side-lying position enables a gentle massage to be carried out on the couch and the use of pillows and cushions ensures that you are fully supported and comfortable at all times. A detailed medical history is taken which enables an appropriate treatment plan to be created.

What are the Benefits?

Massage has many proven health benefits such as stimulating the blood and lymph systems, thereby increasing immunity and removal of toxins, stabilizing hormone levels. It also adds tone and flexibility to muscles - all of which enhance the health of both you and your baby.

Pregnancy massage can be used to help relieve back pain, leg cramps, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, indigestion and nausea. It can lower blood pressure, help with sleeping difficulties and play an important role in stress reduction and relaxation.
