Pregnancy Massage

(Prenatal and Postnatal)

Pregnancy is a special and exciting time in a woman’s life.

It can also be exhausting to keep up with the body’s physical and emotional changes, including increased weight, compromised movement and balance and fluctuating hormone levels.  Major postural changes that occur with pregnancy may cause discomfort, aches and pains. Particularly in the shoulders, lower back, glutes, legs and feet.

Our pregnancy massages aim to relieve your aches and pains, by easing swollen legs and feet and reducing cramps and restless legs, while providing a nurturing experience and a positive sense of wellness.

All our pregnancy massages are tailored for your specific needs and usually comprise a combination of relaxation, remedial massage and Myotherapy techniques. We use various size soft pillows for your ultimate comfort and relaxation throughout the massage.

Our massages give Mums-to-Be, a well-deserved time out, as well as invaluable time to deeply connect with your body and your beautiful growing baby.
