About Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage is a safe and supportive treatment designed specifically for the changing needs of expectant mothers. Using gentle, therapeutic techniques and comfortable side-lying positioning, treatments help reduce tension, improve circulation, and encourage deep relaxation.

​

Suitable from the second trimester onwards, pregnancy massage may help with:

• Lower back and pelvic discomfort

• Swollen legs and feet

• Neck and shoulder tension

• Poor sleep and fatigue

• Stress and anxiety

• Muscle aches and postural strain

Every session is adapted to your stage of pregnancy and how you are feeling on the day.

​

About Postnatal Massage

Postnatal massage focuses on recovery, rest, and emotional wellbeing after birth. Whether you’ve had a vaginal birth or caesarean delivery, your body needs time and support to heal. These restorative treatments are designed to ease muscular tension from feeding, carrying, and interrupted sleep while helping you reconnect with your body.

​

Postnatal massage may support:

• Recovery after childbirth

• Neck, shoulder, and back pain

• Fatigue and exhaustion

• Hormonal balance and relaxation

• Improved circulation and lymphatic flow

• Emotional wellbeing and self-care

Babies are welcome at appointments.

​
