Massage in pregnancy is a wonderful experience. It enables a mum to be relaxed, supports her body during a period of physiological change, and helps to prepare the whole body for birth. Pregnancy can put a strain on the body and massage can help to relieve aches and pains and other common health problems experienced during pregnancy.
Towards the end of pregnancy many women find that there is plenty to do preparing for baby's arrival, but it is an important time for women to relax and enjoy the last weeks of carrying their baby. Massage provides a special time for the client to unwind and helps the woman focus on her body and her baby.
Massage is good for the baby too. Research has shown that the unborn baby can be affected by the stress levels experienced by its mother. Massage has an indirect relaxing effect on the baby as the mother releases oxytocin and prolactin as a result of skin stimulation.

*Please be advised pregnancy massages will only be carried out in the second and third trimesters. If you are in your first trimester please contact me before booking your appointment.*
