At this special time it's important to do everything you can to look ater yourself.
Time when you can relax and be calm, switch off from the outside world and ease some of the aches and muscle stiffness that may be new to you when your body is changing to provide for your baby.
I tailor the massage to your needs.
We can work on the couch in a side lying position if that is comfortable for you, or we can explore ways to seat you, leaning over the couch, or maybe even kneeling on the floor and over an exercise ball. Your comfort is my priority and we can try different ways until we find one that suits you. It may be that we try all of them over the 9 months!
I offer massages based on time rather than treatment areas, so that I can tailor the massage to suit the individual. Obviously the length of time we have, will dictate how long I spend on each area. We'll decide together the best options for you.
