Supporting the physical, physiological and emotional changes in pregnancy across all trimesters, using a combination of clinical aromatherapy, holistic massage, movement, exercise, visualisation and subtle energy.

With the idea of bringing balance to the body with the pelvis a key focus, we want you to allow your baby the best chance to position optimally ready for birth.

With a combination of pregnancy massage therapy, exercise, movement and clinical aromatherapy, we can also support some other common pregnancy related symptoms that may include;

Circulatory system:

Headaches, hyper / hypotension, oedema, varicose veins

Digestive system:

Nausea, reflux, Indigestion, IBS, haemorrhoids, constipation

Emotional wellbeing :

Anxiety, depression, worry, changes in mood & behaviour, postnatal depression

Muscular-skeletal body:

CTS, leg cramps, pelvic floor strength / health, sacral discomfort (SPI, PGP), joint or muscular pain / stiffness, diastasis recti (abdominal separation)

Our first session together requires an in-depth chat about your current health, your medical history and any pregnancy related symptoms you may be suffering with – including a review of your pregnancy medical notes.

Together we will agree a focus for your session based on exactly what you need right at that moment. We will also discuss how essential oil therapy can support you, and select the relevant essential oils based on any patterns of disharmony that are evident. We can also provide bespoke remedies to take home so that you can continue self-care in between sessions.

Depending on our focus for the session work may include; restorative & remedial massage, postural awareness, movement, visualisation, meditation, energy work, trimester specific remedial exercises, gentle passive Thai yoga stretches, along with acupressure work to also support your emotional wellbeing.

During trimester 3 we will begin to focus on ‘labour‘ preparation and support, exploring powerful relief techniques by stimulating meridian/ acupressure points and birthing positions to prepare you for labour. You can also opt for a specific labour preparation workshop with your birth partner.

There are many physiological changes during pregnancy and it is therefore really important that we allow time to discuss your health and review your medical notes at every session. The focus will always be on how we can continue to support your overall wellness – physically, physiologically and emotionally, discussing any changes to your health and new concerns that may arise in between treatments.

120 minute session (including consultation time) – £90.00

90 minute session (including consultation time) – £80.00

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing so that you can be free in your body, should gentle exercise, movement or birth preparation form part of your session.

It is important to ensure you have time to let your body balance and rest after the session, so we would advise against booking in lots to do.

Your baby loves to have a move around in your womb, but there may be a number of reasons they may not be in an ideal position during the later stages of pregnancy. This could be linked to your own pelvic symmetry, existing uterine pathologies, ligaments or muscles that are tight, your general posture, and even your emotional wellbeing.

If you find that at 34 week’s gestation your midwife has suggested your baby is not in an ideal position (for example in a breech position), we can work together to give your baby the opportunity to assume a better one on their own, without opting for an ECV (External Cephalic Version) or rushing into one.

There are many techniques we will use together to support balance of your body, which will in turn support how your baby is able to move. Techniques will also include those based on the Spinning Babies philosophy.

Of course, if you come for pregnancy massage therapy, you will find that we will use a lot of these techniques right from the early stages of trimester 2, in order to support your changing body and baby’s position from the start.

We will start with an initial consultation – it is important that together we can identify where there may be any obvious physical disharmonies.

Sessions will be quite ‘active’, where we are working to balance your physical body through positions, passive stretches, and releasing techniques.

You should only need one session, as the intention is for you to continue some of the techniques at home with your birthing partner (if needed), because balance of the body is vital to prepare the body for a positive birth experience.

Ideally your birthing partner will come along too, so that they can learn and support some of the techniques, but this is not a requirement.

60 minute session (including consultation time) – £60

We recommend wearing comfortable non-restrictive clothing so that you can be free in your body to work through the specific movements.

It is important to ensure you have time to let your body balance and rest after the session, so we would advise against filling your time and booking in lots to do.
