Service Description

Pregnancy massage is a gentle and beautifully relaxing treatment that can have huge benefits not only for the expectant mother, but also for her developing baby. Each massage is tailored exactly to your needs and we aim to make you feel comfortable, safe and relaxed. Your therapist is also a trained aromatherapist, which makes this pregnancy massage extra special. As a free optional extra for those who wish it, you can choose to have an individualised choice of safe essential oils specially blended with a pure natural carrier oil to meet your particular needs. Research has shown that pregnancy massage not only helps ease aches and pains, it also improves the mother's circulation, which delivers essential nutrients to all the body's organs, including the placenta. It also aids lymph drainage - the body's natural waste disposal system - which removes toxins and can also help a sluggish digestive system, relieving symptoms of constipation which can occur during pregnancy. As well as the physical benefits, a pregnancy massage helps to support mothers-to-be emotionally during a time when their bodies are undergoing significant changes. The baby also benefits greatly from pregnancy massage as the 'feel good' endorphins that are released by the mother during the massage are also passed on to baby. This treatment is available to those in their second and third trimesters (from 13 weeks onwards). The health of both mother and baby is our priority and we ask each client to complete a consultation form and arrange a short telephone call a few days before your appointment to ensure that there are no medical contraindications that might prevent us from going ahead with the massage.
