Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy massage can be of enormous benefit to expectant Mums and to the unborn baby. It emotionally and physiologically supports a woman during a time when her body is undergoing many changes which often puts pressure on joints, ligaments and organs causing pain and discomfort.
This 60 minute treatment will be tailored to meet your needs following a free consultation. It will involve work on areas where common problems occur including the spine, lower back, legs and buttocks. The massage will end with a relaxing head neck and face massage.
During your massage you will be positioned on your side with lots of pillows for extra comfort and support.
As a trained midwife you can relax and know you are in safe hands.
