Prenatal massage

Allow yourself to be nurtured through your pregnancy journey with massage soothing your aches & pains & relaxing your mind.

Pregnancy massage is a beautiful form of self care, a way of taking time for yourself and bonding with your baby.

Jo is an experienced & qualified prenatal remedial massage therapist who has been practising massage for more than 15 years. Jo also is a reiki practitioner which is a gentle form of energy healing which can be included in the massage and is also a certified aromatherapist, 

 

Pregnancy is a time of great excitement as your baby grows inside the safe space of your womb. Sometimes, though, that growth and the extra weight of the baby, the fluid and the placenta can place extra strain on your body causing physical discomfort. Needless to say, it is crucial that you prioritise self care during this very exciting stage of your life, for your wellbeing and for the wellbeing of your baby.

 

Pregnancy massage can help:

• to relieve aches & pains in muscles & joints

• reduce stress & anxiety

• improve overall health, wellbeing & mood

• to facilitate better circulation of blood & lymphatic fluid helping to reduce swelling & numbness

• you to drop into your body, allowing you to feel more calm & peace

• you to connect to your body & baby

• with postural adjustments as your baby & belly gets larger

• to reduce fatigue & improve sleep

• to prepare your body and mind for birth, by opening your hips and reducing stress

​

What you need to know for the massage:

• Jo brings the table, sheets and special nurturing oils and you provide pillows, to support your body.

• Pregnancy massage is done on your side.

• Jo is also a HypnoBirthing instructor, aromatherapist, meditation teacher & reiki practioner so may incorporate essential oils as well as elements of meditation, visualisation, affirmations & reiki in the session if you give permission for that.​
