Expert Care by a Trained Pregnancy-Trained Therapist

Each massage is thoughtfully tailored to your stage of pregnancy or postpartum recovery, using safe, comfortable positioning and gentle, effective techniques to relieve tension, ease discomfort, and promote deep relaxation.
Prenatal Massage: Relief and Relaxation During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a beautiful time, but it also brings physical and emotional changes. Our prenatal massage helps ease those aches and pains, leaving you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. As your body changes, we adapt the treatment to meet your evolving needs supporting you with comfort and confidence.
How Prenatal Massage helps:
- Pain Relief: Relieves aches from your changing posture and growing baby—especially in the back, hips, pelvis, neck, and legs.
- Nerve Pain Relief: Alleviates sciatica, carpal tunnel, and piriformis syndrome by easing pressure on nerves through soft tissue release work.
- Reduces Fluid Retention: Stimulates lymph flow to ease swelling in feet, ankles, and hands caused by increased blood volume and reduced circulation and pressure exerted by the uterus on major blood vessels.
- Improved Sleep Quality: Promotes better rest by reducing physical discomfort and promoting relaxation to support deeper, more restorative sleep.
- Enhances Circulation: Supports healthy blood flow to the uterus, placenta, and baby, optimising nutrient and oxygen delivery.
- Mood Enhancement: Encourages the release of endorphins for a better mood, supporting emotional well-being.
- Relieves Stress Naturally: Helps lower cortisol and boost serotonin and dopamine, creating a relaxed, peaceful state.
- Alleviates Headaches and Migraines: Soothes tension in the neck, shoulders, and head caused by hormonal changes and stress, reducing headaches and migraines.
Prenatal massage can be tailored to focus on either relaxation or remedial treatment, depending on your needs and the stage of pregnancy.
Postnatal Massage: Recovery and Rejuvenation After Birth
The fourth trimester—the first three months after giving birth—is a time of deep physical and emotional adjustment. Postnatal massage helps you restore your energy and feel like yourself again, all while supporting your emotional and physical recovery.
How Postnatal Massage Supports Your Recovery:
- Postpartum Healing: Encourages physical recovery by relaxing tight muscles, reducing aches and pains from labour, and boosting circulation.
- Breastfeeding & Upper Body Relief: Eases neck, shoulder, and back tension caused by feeding, lifting, and caring for your baby.
- Pelvic & Lower Back Support: Alleviates tension and improves postural stability in areas commonly strained during pregnancy and birth.
- Reduced Swelling & Fluid Retention: Gentle lymphatic techniques help minimise puffiness in the feet, legs, and hands by supporting healthy circulation and detox.
- C-Section & Abdominal Recovery: Abdominal massage supports the uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size, and gentle scar tissue work promotes healing and mobility of aids in healing stretch marks and C-section scars.
- Hormonal Rebalance & Mood Support: Restores hormone balance, encouraging a calm, uplifted state of mind and reducing postpartum emotional discomfort.
- Stress Reduction: Helps manage postnatal stress and anxiety, offering mental and emotional support.
- Emotional Support & Personalised Care: Each session begins with a thoughtful consultation, honouring your birth experience and adjusting treatment to meet your needs and stage of healing.
If you’ve had a caesarean birth, we recommend waiting at least two weeks and obtaining clearance from your care provider before booking your postnatal massage.
What to Expect during your Massage:
Every massage session is designed to support your comfort, safety, and wellbeing—whether you’re preparing for birth or recovering from it.
- Duration: Sessions typically last between 60 to 90 minutes and may include reflexology techniques. We’ll customise the length and focus of your session to suit your needs and stage of pregnancy or recovery.
- Consultation: Your session begins with a warm conversation. We’ll discuss your medical history, pregnancy or birth journey, and any specific concerns or goals to ensure your massage is safe, personalised, and effective.
- Comfortable Positioning: We use pregnancy-safe positioning and pillows, designed to reduce pressure on your body and keep both you and your baby safe.
- Tailored Techniques: Depending on your stage, we adjust our techniques:
- First Trimester: Soothing, gentle techniques to support rest, ease nausea, and reduce anxiety.
- Second & Third Trimesters: Remedial techniques for back, hip, and leg discomfort, while maintaining relaxation. Deep tissue and trigger point therapy are avoided during pregnancy for safety.
