Pregnancy, Postnatal, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone and Indian Head massage services
Pregnancy Massage
During pregnancy, the body undergoes lots of changes, from your posture to raging hormones. These changes can lead to discomfort in the back, hips, and legs. Your emotional wellbeing can be affected leading to feelings of anxiety and stress. Regular massage can help to overcome these physical and emotional changes and help you to connect with your pregnancy and have a better night's sleep!
Deep Tissue
You know this one, it's the hurty one! Well, it doesn't have to hurt exactly I can tailor this to suit your needs. This massage will work a bit deeper into the muscles and work to release all the tension out of the body. Very similar to a Sports massage but I always put a little relaxation into it too!
Postnatal massage
Massage on the postnatal body has been shown to be very healing, not only for the body but also for the mind. Becoming a new mum is an incredibly rewarding and emotional time, this massage can help with the aches and pains left from pregnancy and labor and also help with the emotional stress and worry placed on the mind.
This massage is most beneficial during the postpartum phase, this is the phase in which your uterus is contracting back to its original position and size which is during the first 6 weeks after birth.
Benefits can include
Relieve aches and pains
Reduce the stress hormone cortisol in the body
Increase blood flow around the body and to the areas that need healing
Helps with sleep
Aids breastfeeding
Safe positioning is still key during this massage so it can be done with you on your side.
Hot Stone Massage
The hot stones act just like a hot water bottle, they instantly make your body, muscles, and mind relax.. Using genuine volcanic basalt stone this massage uses oils and stone to work deep within the muscles without the need for too much force. Lovely all year round but a great massage for winter!
