Pregnancy massage

Looking for a relaxing and nurturing massage to soothe away the aches and pains of pregnancy? You've come to the right place.

I'm a mum of two and will never forget the sweet relief of the massages I enjoyed during my pregnancies!

WHAT IS PREGNANCY MASSAGE?

Pregnancy massage – or perinatal massage – offers a unique blend of relaxation and stimulation to nurture your growing body during this incredible transformative period. I use soothing, rhythmic movements to relieve muscles without overstimulation – alongside lymphatic drainage techniques to ease fluid retention and promote venous return, which can help prevent varicose veins.

How is a pregnancy massage different from a normal massage?

I am fully trained and insured to carry out a safe massage to you and your baby. My training is accredited by FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapies) – the largest professional body for complementary, beauty and sports therapists.

One of the main differences with pregnancy massage is that you lie on your side, hugging one of those lovely long sausage cushions. Or, if you would prefer, I can massage you in a seated position. We can work to whatever you and your body needs to make sure you're safe and comfortable.

When can I get a mum-to-be massage?

You can get a massage with me after your 12-week scan. This is the second and third trimesters of your pregnancy which tends to be when your body needs the nourishing touch of massage the most.
