I enjoyed my pregnancy massage. Josephine has magical hands, and my lower back stops hurting after most treatments. Generally, I feel very relaxed and comfortable. Plus, the stretches and extra care she suggests are always helpful for longer-term maintenance.. - Ana
During pregnancy, several changes occur in the body. These changes can cause discomfort and stress, especially when combined with stress factors such as work, family responsibilities, and financial issues. Pregnancy massage therapy can help relieve these symptoms and improve the mother's and baby's quality of life.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT OUR PRENATAL TREATMENT?
We offer a bespoke prenatal treatment that blends traditional massage therapy techniques with Acupuncture. Our therapists combine Massage strokes with gentle stretches, specific pregnancy pressure points and energy work. Thanks to this box of many great tools, we can tailor the treatment to your changing needs and then adapt it as your body changes throughout pregnancy.
You can also choose both Pregnancy Massage and Pregnancy Acupuncture as stand-alone treatments. You can also combine a full-body pregnancy massage with Manual lymphatic drainage.
WHOM CAN WE HELP?
The treatment aims to help both:
-
Women with pregnancy-related issues, such as swelling, pelvic dysfunction, lower back pain, pregnancy depression
-
Pregnant Women who are not experiencing any particular problem but love to feel connected to their bodies and their growing baby
-
Pregnant Women who are at least 38 weeks of pregnancy and are looking for a natural remedy to promote labour induction.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS OF OUR SPECIALISED PREGNANCY TREATMENT?
-
Fluid retention and oedema (swelling) in the arms and legs. We combine pregnancy massage with specific lymphatic drainage massage techniques to improve blood flow and lymph.
-
Improved sleep: Relaxation can raise endorphins, the so-called "happy hormones". Our specialised pregnancy massage treatment is exceptionally calming. Thus, it can help you restore a healthy sleep pattern and feel restored & rejuvenated in the morning.
-
Anxiety, pregnancy depression or other negative emotions. Relaxation is critical when you are preparing for childbirth. Research into the progression of labour has shown that stress can impede continuous delivery and increase pain. Our peaceful Pregnancy massage is a safe and incredibly relaxing treatment for mums-to-be and their babies, which is another good reason to choose it!
-
Fatigue and the strain on joints and muscles (Lower back pain/Sciatica/Cramps)
-
Nausea, Heartburn, Constipation
-
Natural Labour Induction (from +38 weeks of pregnancy). Acupressure& Acupuncture for labour induction is a specialised form of therapy that focuses on helping pregnant women prepare the body for childbirth, promoting uterine contractions and encouraging natural labour induction. We use a combination of specific pregnancy pressure points that can help to induce natural labour, as well as reduce birth time & labour pain.
We are here to support you through this journey and offer advice, emphasising aftercare and self-empowerment. During each session, we will discuss your needs and advise you accordingly with stretches, breathing techniques and individual or partnered exercises.
