Pregnancy massage
Growing a baby is a wonderful thing — it’s also hard, physical work, and your body lets you know about it. As things shift and stretch to make room, you can end up with new aches, tightness and general discomfort. Pregnancy massage is set up to ease all of that, safely and gently.
How it helps
- Eases the aches — especially the lower back, hips and sciatic pain that tag along with pregnancy
- Settles swelling — gentle work to help circulation and fluid moving along
- Better sleep — a bit of proper relaxation for more restful nights
- Less stress — winding the tension down a notch or two
- Loosens tight muscles — taking the strain off a body that’s working overtime
- A moment for you — nurturing touch in the middle of a big, busy season
Safe hands
As a qualified clinical myotherapist I’ve got a thorough grounding in anatomy and musculoskeletal care, and I adapt every technique to where you’re at in your pregnancy. Your comfort and safety come first, always.
Pregnancy massage is generally fine from the second trimester on. I use proper pregnancy pillows and bolsters so you’re well propped up and genuinely comfortable the whole time.
What to expect
We’ll start with a chat about how you’re feeling, where it’s bothering you, and how far along you are. From there I tailor everything to you, using gentle to moderate pressure and pregnancy-safe techniques. Plenty of people end up booking in regularly through their second and third trimesters — it becomes their little non-negotiable.
