PREGNANCY
'...Everything grows rounder and wider and weirder, and I sit here in the middle of it all and wonder who in the world you will turn out to be.' – Carrie Fisher
If there was ever a more deserving time to spoil yourself then during pregnancy, your body goes through the most amazing yet physically demanding journey of its life.
Hormones running wild causing heightened emotions, back pain, fatigue, no energy, swelling and fluid retention, aches and pains in your lower back, abdomen and joints.
Massage not only helps to relieve these symptoms naturally and safely, but also lowers anxiety, decreases levels of the stress hormone, improves sleep and increases levels of the feel-good hormones serotonin and dopamine.
The pregnancy massage is performed side lying supported by pillows, as this provides the most comfort, lengthening the spine, allowing the muscles and ligaments to relax + avoids putting pressure on the vena carva (the vein that runs from your legs to your heart.)
Tailored to suit your individual needs, a mixture of techniques are used including deep tissue, with firm strokes pressing deep into muscles, + long rhythmic relaxation strokes.
Manual lymphatic drainage is also beneficial as it helps with fluid retention during pregnancy. It's a gentle massage technique that encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the body, helping to remove waste + toxins. Its other benefits include strengthening the immune system, reducing swelling, bruising + inflammation, fatigue, insomnia, stress, digestive problems + migraines.
An eGift Card for a Pregnancy Massage is also the perfect Baby Shower gift for a well deserved mum to be!
Note: If you're in your 1st trimester of pregnancy can you please gain consent from your doctor stating it is safe for you to receive a massage treatment.
