Supporting you during pregnancy, birth and motherhood

with specialist massage, nurturing and education

Specialist Therapeutic & Relaxation Pregnancy Massage from the beginning of the first trimester onwards

Pregnancy massage is a wonderful way to celebrate these special and challenging nine months of growing your baby. You may still be working or you may already have children to run around after. Stress levels can often be high during pregnancy and sometimes go unnoticed due to being so busy. Giving yourself time out to relax and appreciate the miracle that is happening inside you is an essential part of becoming a mother.

RIGHT FROM THE START

Regular massages (every 1-3 weeks) from as early as the beginning of the first trimester right through to the day you birth will help you to enjoy your whole pregnancy, not just the last four weeks when you finish work! Our specialist pregnancy massage therapist is qualified and experienced to treat you right from the start and even throughout labour!

RELIEVING ACHES & PAINS

During your pregnancy are you experiencing aches and pains as your growing belly causes your body to make adjustments? Uncomfortably puffy legs and feet from fluid retention may irritate you, as well as sinus pains and headaches. Maybe your lower backand hips have become increasingly uncomfortable, your balance more awkward and your breathing more shallow and difficult? The increase in hormones maybe making your moods swing or giving you feelings of nausea. Are you suffering from a painful imbalance in your pubic bone (Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction), Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or frequent leg cramps?

SAFE FOR HIGH RISK*

You maybe experiencing high blood pressure, Pre-Eclampsia, a history of miscarriage, a low-lying placenta (placenta previa), previous caesarean or gestational diabetes. Or maybe you're pregnant with multiples? Our specialist Pregnancy Massage Therapist, Samantha, is safe to treat you through all these symptoms and conditions, using safe and effective advanced therapeutic techniques.

* We recommend all clients inform their lead maternity carer they are receiving massages from Samantha during pregnancy to receive approval and awareness of any precautions.

BENEFITS:

• Help your body become aligned
• Greatly reduce pain and discomfort
• Dramatically reduce stress and anxiety (major causes of pregnancy complications and foetal underdevelopment)
• Reduce your experience of pain and anxiety during labour by releasing tight, sore muscles
• Help your moods to become more balanced
• Help you feel positive and at ease with your new life changes
• Teach you how to prepare your body for labour and birth

By improving blood flow and oxygen intake, massage allows you and your baby to experience a healthier pregnancy and a chance to connect in a deep and peaceful way. Studies have shown that regular relaxation can help prevent premature birth and creates healthy weight babies.

YOUR MASSAGE SESSION

This is your massage and we want you to enjoy it.

• Talking through your massage is not encouraged (although you're welcome to chat if you want to, but your silence will not be interrupted).
• You can choose music or silence.
• We offer you the pressure you enjoy; Super Firm, Firm, Medium or Light (or anywhere in between).
• You will be required to inform me if the pressure is not to your comfort throughout the massage. We believe massage should be uninterrupted bliss so we trust you will tell us if we are hurting you or if you want harder pressure.
• You're welcome to choose where you would like your massage session to focus; just your back (neck down to glutes), back and head, back and arms, back and belly, back and legs or full body (with or without a belly rub)... or any mix of these. It's your session, tailor made to you.
