Nurture mum and baby
Having been through a pregnancy I wanted to ensure that I offered something that met the needs of pregnant women. Something deeply nurturing that addressed the overwhelm, aches, and disconnection many women feel during this time - a space for rest and renewal.
The massage itself will be tailored around you and can include joint mobilisations and stretches to ease any stiffness, lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling, and fascia release to loosen tight muscles. Massage helps the encouragement of Oxytocin - the “happy hormone” essential for childbirth.
Everything done is considered with mum and baby in mind and adapted to your changing body. I also like to offer some gentle energy work using the meridians in the body, principles taken from Chinese Medicine to encourage energy flow and support connection.
I also offer post-natal treatments to support mum during the weeks and months following birth, helping to bring you back into a place of ease as you navigate motherhood.
I find it a real privilege to work with pregnant women, to be given the opportunity to connect with mum and baby in a massage. It’s a sacred time and an honour to be a part of someone’s mothering journey.
The need to know bit
Massage can be done at any time during pregnancy, however if you’re suffering from severe morning sickness or it’s a higher risk pregnancy you may wish to wait or talk it through with your midwife first. In some cases, massage may not be appropriate.
Before your appointment, we’ll have an initial consultation to talk through what to expect. It’s an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have. As well as a chance for me to hear more about your pregnancy in case there are any precautions we need to be aware of before treatment, which your midwife can advise on if needed.
You may have had a massage before lying face down and face up on the couch. These probably aren’t going to be the most comfortable positions for you anymore, so we tend to do pregnancy massage lying on your side. This is a great position for you and baby as the spine is aligned and the muscles can relax. We use lots of cushions and blankets to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible.
Aromatherapy blends can be used after 38 weeks to assist with labour and birth.
