PREGNANCY MASSAGE
Pregnancy Massage
During the incredible journey of pregnancy, the body experiences numerous changes, both physically and emotionally. It’s a time when a mother-to-be deserves dedicated care and attention to ensure their wellbeing. This is where pregnancy massage comes in – a specially adapted form of massage designed to be gentle, nurturing, and soothing, addressing the unique needs of both mother and baby.
Gentle & Nurturing
Pregnancy massage goes beyond just relieving aches and pains, it is a practice that encompasses relaxation, preparation for labour, and overall wellbeing. This form of massage therapy is adapted to be gentle and nurturing, acknowledging the delicate nature of pregnancy and the specific needs that arise during this beautiful and transformative phase of life.
Pregnancy Couch
Utilising a specially designed pregnancy couch is key to ensuring the utmost comfort during the massage session. My pregnancy couch features tailor-made holes that accommodate the beautiful bumps of my expecting mothers, allowing them to comfortably lie on either their front or side. This thoughtful design promotes relaxation and enables my clients to fully unwind and benefit from the massage experience without any discomfort.
Calming Aromatherapy
To enhance the therapeutic benefits of a pregnancy massage, I incorporate high-quality oils such as lavender, coconut, and grapeseed. These oils are carefully selected for their calming and nourishing properties, further adding to the soothing experience. By focusing on the main tension areas of the body, the pregnancy massage sessions not only aim to ease physical discomfort but also work towards alleviating mental stress, leaving you with a profound sense of calm and tranquillity.
Connect With Your Bump
The nurturing touch of pregnancy massage extends beyond the physical realm, offering emotional support, relaxation, and a moment of respite amidst the whirlwind of pregnancy. The goal is to provide a safe and comforting environment where expecting mothers can connect with their bodies and their babies and experience a deep sense of wellbeing.
Prepare For Labour
Pregnancy massages are not only soothing and nurturing but also play a significant role in preparing expectant mothers for labour. The gentle and targeted techniques used during these massages can help to alleviate physical tension, promote relaxation, and increase body awareness, which are all essential for labour preparation. By focusing on specific pressure points and tension areas, pregnancy massages can aid in creating a sense of calm, reducing anxiety, and enhancing the body’s ability to cope with labour.
Customised Pregnancy Massage
Before the pregnancy massage begins, I take the time to have a personalised consultation with each client to understand their specific concerns, physical conditions, and emotional wellbeing. Whether it’s adjusting the positioning on the specially designed pregnancy couch, selecting the most suitable oils, or varying the massage strokes to cater to their preferences, I create a personalised experience that ensures maximum comfort, relaxation, and therapeutic benefits for each client.
