Pregnancy and birth is a time for new beginnings. A healing and caring touch is so vital to a mother's well-being as she adapts to her new body. Regardless of individual circumstances, a pregnant woman's body is challenged, changed and stressed in so many ways.

A therapeutic
and nurturing massage gives special attention to the mother-to-be,
which in turn nurtures the new life that grows within her.
Prenatal massage relieves many of the normal discomforts of pregnancy
such as backache, muscle cramps, neck and headaches and water retention.
It also increases blood and lymph circulation, which in turn brings
more oxygen and nutrients to you and baby. This means greater vitality
and less fatigue for you.
Postnatal massage assists the body in 'settling back down'. It helps
to restore energy levels after labour and helps to balance hormones
and gives you some time much needed time to yourself. It eases muscular
tension and fatigue, facilitates healing, stimulates the return
of energy and circulation and eases backache and shoulder pain.
The treatment will normally consist of massaging the whole body,
however it can be tailored to suit your needs. You will leave feeling
nourished, supported and completely relaxed knowing you are in good
hands.
The first treatment lasts an hour and a half with a consultation
and follow up treatments will last an hour.
Trimester package also available - please see price list for full
details.
