Pregnancy Massage
60 mins @£65 90 mins @£75
Pregnancy Massage or prenatal massage has historically been practiced throughout Ancient China, India and Greece. These different cultures incorporated massage and bodywork to help support women during and after their pregnancy.
Today pregnancy massage is a well established treatment practiced all over the world. Studies show it has a range of psychology and physical benefits; relieving stress and anxiety, encouraging better sleep, reducing swelling, aid muscle tension and joint pain.
Before your treatment we will have a thorough consultation including medical history and general lifestyle. Pregnancy massage uses similar techniques to Swedish massage; expect a variety of pressures that are tailored to your own needs. Lymphatic drainage is also incorporated to reduce swelling and encourage relaxation. Communication is encouraged, I will talk you through all positioning so you feel safe and supported, let me know of any discomforts and we can adapt accordingly.

Deep tissue massage has always been practiced, over time its methods & techniques have been perfected ensuring great physical and psychological improvements.
