If you are looking for self-care to stay fit and healthy during pregnancy, that can ease your aches, pains and discomforts and help you cope better with hormonal shifts, indulge yourself with a relaxing prenatal massage.
Prenatal or pregnancy massage is like a gentle exercise bringing about a therapeutic effect of relief, relaxation or re-energizing to make you as comfortable as possible throughout your pregnancy.
A unique and safe approach that supports you and your baby.
What to expect
Relaxing long gliding strokes, gentle kneading and nurturing rocking in a rhythmic manner calm the whole body promoting deep relaxation, encouraging blood and lymph flow and have a positive influence on your hormone levels.
In the 2nd and 3rd trimester remedial techniques can also alleviate a range of symptoms or target specific complaints.
How does prenatal massage help you?
Pregnancy is a very exciting and precious time.
Prenatal massage is a specialised modality for pregnant women to sooth reducing stress, releasing tension as a result from your changing body and posture, relief compression syndromes that cause pain and tingling during pregnancy, improve a good night sleep and make you feel more nurtured throughout your pregnancy.
It also gives your ‘feel good’ hormone levels a boost, which reduces your perception of pain making you feel happier.
Besides that, it is a wonderful way to connect with your baby and treasure a moment.
Not just for you
Getting a treatment is not only beneficial for you and your changing body, but also promotes your baby’s health!By lower stress and anxiety levels and encouraging blood and lymph flow to deliver the right amount of oxygen and nutrients to your baby, it’s growth and development is positively supported.
Conditions that could benefit from prenatal massage:
Pain and swelling reduction in hands, legs, face, fingers
Heart Burn

Mariska was very professional, friendly and easy to talk to. She made sure she properly understood my wife’s health history in order to tailor the treatment to best suit her needs. The environment was very relaxing, you are able to chat during your treatment if you’d like to, or completely zone out if you’d prefer. My wife was very impressed and is looking forward to her next appointment!read less

Mariska is very warm and friendly, and able to make you feel welcome and relaxed as soon as you meet her. She was extremely thorough in going through the new client questionnaire and asking further questions about health and well being and any issues or concerns before starting the treatment, and genuinely interested in providing you with the best overall treatment possible. Mariska is very attentive working on all your pressure points. Looking forward to my next appointment. Would definitely recommend a treatment with Mariska at Marisage.read less
