What is Pregnancy Massage?
Pregnancy massage is a specialised, gentle form of bodywork designed to support the physical and emotional changes that occur during pregnancy. It promotes relaxation, eases muscular tension, and improves overall wellbeing for both mother and baby.

How Pregnancy Massage Works
Using tailored techniques, your practitioner focuses on areas of tension, typically the lower back, hips, legs, and shoulders, while ensuring you’re safely positioned and supported with pillows and bolsters throughout the session.

Pregnancy Massage in Each Trimester

What to Expect During a Session
Sessions are deeply calming and restorative. You’ll be made comfortable on your side or in a supported semi-reclined position. Oils or balms may be used to ease muscle tension, and your therapist will always work in tune with your needs and comfort level.
