Pregnancy Massage

Gentle massage is used to relax the Mother-to-be and a relaxed Mum increases the chances of a relaxed baby! 

Pregnancy is a wonderful natural part of life but it can sometimes take a toll on your body, especially in the third trimester. Regular massages can ease some of the discomfort you may have and keep you calm and relaxed.

What is involved in a pregnancy massage treatment?

A consultation is required at your first treatment; this ensures massage is right for you and your baby. Typically, a full body massage lasts 45 minutes to an hour and includes, back, shoulders, neck, head, legs, feet, 'the bump', arms and hands. Every treatment is tailored to the recipient's needs and areas of the body can be omitted. During the treatment towels are used to ensure your modesty. Oils which are safe to use while pregnant are used to help nourish the skin, help stretch marks and allow a smooth continuous flowing movement.

Pregnancy massage can be preformed with the Mother-to-be in a number of positions (lying down, seated, on a custom made couch). This massage is carried out in a seated position with towels used for support. This position is very comfortable for both Mother and baby.
