Pregnancy & Postnatal Massage

With over 10 years experience in pregnancy and postnatal massage i’ve seen many lovely bumps of all sizes! Having also had 2 babies myself, I know first hand the physical and emotional changes a women can experience throughout pregnancy and postnatal.

Whilst pregnancy can be a joyous time, you may also experience pain and discomfort especially in areas of lower back and sciatica. Feelings of anxiety is also really common, which can also become part of a pain cycle. I believe anxiety and mental health is so important and I approach all sessions with empathy and understanding. These emotions can arise from past or current trauma, pain or anxiety about the birth and also pre/postnatal depression.

As with all my treatments I use a fusion of techniques to successfully reduce pain, increase mental wellbeing and promote deep relaxation. Myofascial Release is a particularly effective and safe method to release scar tissue, trauma and reduce pain with pregnancy and post birth massage.

For both pregnancy massage and postnatal you will be side lying in a comfortable position. Every session will be followed with home self care advice.

Massage can begin from your second trimester and can continue right through till birth and beyond!
