​This third trimester is when you need to slow down & rest more You may be experiencing a whirlwind of emotions, anxiety and uncertainty leading up to your birth.. as well as overwhelming happiness - there is so much going on and you need to start preparing yourself physically & mentally for the big day! We do a final check in on your body & tight areas that may slow labour or Baby’s position in preparation.

At this point, I would like to point out this is not a form of induction and will not bring on labour if you and bubs are not ready. In saying that, labour preparation massage is a great way to make sure you body IS ready both physically and mentally, allowing labour to take place naturally. This is safe from 37 weeks onwards and incorporates a few techniques helping you into a deep relaxation and releasing all that lovely Oxytocin through your body. We work with your breathing during your session and may stimulate some acupressure points if necessary.

Is massage safe during pregnancy?

Yes! massage during pregnancy is safe!

Many mothers are concerned about how a massage might affect their baby or the health of their pregnancy. Many LMC’s and midwives recommend massage as a way to prepare for birth, with the greatest benefits experienced with regular treatments.

There also needs to be a level of sensitivity and gentleness extended by the therapist, which factors in the baby as well. I am professionally trained and qualified Practioner, specialising in Pregnancy and Post-Natal massage. My passion is to provide my mums with a rejuvenating massage specifically customised to relieve their unique aches and pains. I want to create an enjoyable experience for mumma & bubs. creating an enjoyable experience for all.

For your comfort and safety during your pregnancy massage you will be placed in either a side-lying or semi-reclining supported position. You will be fully draped/covered at all times, apart from the area we are working on. How much skin you expose during your massage is entirely up to you & your choice. Some women are comfortable wearing very little clothing; others want to feel more covered. It is worth bearing in mind though, for you to get the most benefit from your massage, the therapist needs to be able to access as much of your skin surface area as possible.

If you are unsure at any stage if Pregnancy massage is safe for you I can provide you with a clearance form to be signed by your Lead Maternity Carer. This will ensure we are aware of any underlying conditions you may have during your pregnancy. In some cases, we are unable to massage due to contraindications for the safety or you and your baby. Please reach out for a chat if you have any questions or would like to know more about this.

I am also available to teach your partner some pregnancy massage techniques you could try for yourselves at home which will be beneficial during labour & birth :)

I am also a trained Pregnancy, Birth & Post-Natal Doula so drop me a line or we can talk during your pregnancy massage about extended pregnancy packages, including sharing your birth plan, massage and foot soak packages.
