What to expect with pregnancy massage

Pregnancy Massage is a wonderful holistic and complementary choice for prenatal care. Every woman is unique, and I always adapt the treatment to meet the individual needs of each person and their stage of pregnancy. Using only pure almond oil and plenty of supportive pillows, I create a nurturing and comfortable space where you can fully relax and enjoy some much-needed time for yourself.

As your body changes to support new life, it can naturally lead to areas of tension and discomfort. Pregnancy Massage can help to relieve stress and anxiety, ease tightness in the shoulders, back, hips, and lower back, and improve overall circulation. Gentle rhythmic movements supporting the lymphatic system may also help to reduce swelling around the ankles, knees, and hands — leaving you feeling lighter and more at ease.

This soothing treatment encourages the release of physical tension while calming the mind and balancing the nervous system. Many women find that it helps to ease common pregnancy discomforts such as insomnia, headaches, or muscle stiffness. It may also aid digestion, help with constipation, and support easier, deeper breathing as your body adjusts.

Pregnancy Massage is profoundly relaxing and can help you connect with your growing baby on a deeper level, preparing both body and mind for the birth process. Each session offers a moment to pause, breathe, and restore your energy — helping you feel supported, centred, and cared for throughout this special journey. 

And the babies love it too!

Please note that Pregnancy Massage is suitable for expectant mothers from 12 weeks onwards.
