Service Description

A relaxing reprieve for the Mum to be. With all the amazing accomodations Mum makes within her body for her baby, extra pressure and tension may arise throughout the lower back, hips, thoracic region, neck, ankles and feet which can create some discomfort. Relieving the aches and pains can dramatically improve the magical experience of growing and housing a little one. Belly Pillows specifically designed to support and fit baby's bump can offer Mum a chance to safely lay face down to stretch out to receive a massage. Tender breasts can be supported with cushioning if needed too. (Belly pillows and breast cushioning can also be used postpartum in the case of cesarian births or tenderness to make treatment more comfortable) Pregnancy massage is effective for reducing fluid retention, improving circulation, lowering blood pressure as well as addressing the sore or stiff spots. It encourages deep relaxation to reduce stress and anxiety which is good for both mum and bub! Care is taken with treatment plans to avoid any risk to baby's wellbeing including pressure to certain acupressure points or the Vena Cava and awareness of hyper-mobility due to hormone changes. The practice space is a very low/no tox environment and all products used in treatment are natural and baby safe but can be forgone if preferred. Please discuss any scent sensitivities when booking your appointment as happy to accomodate however possible.
