Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy is a time of huge change, physically and emotionally.  Your hormone levels vary widely to create the right environment for your baby’s development and every part of your body is having to adapt almost daily to accommodate their growth, not to mention the emotional stressors.

Each treatment will be specifically tailored to your needs on the day and is carried out with you lying on your side, fully covered with towels and supported by as many pillows as you need. I use a variety of techniques to ease tight muscles, restricted joints and improve circulation (particularly to reduce fluid in swollen legs/ankles).

Although there is no evidence to suggest that massage during the first trimester of pregnancy can harm your baby in any way, I generally prefer to wait until the second trimester before commencing massage treatments.
