Click here for workshops to teach
your partner how to do a massage during pregnancy and pain-relieving
massage techniques for labour.
I use a specially designed doughnut shaped bean bag for pregnancy massage. This allows you to lie face down and safely supports your bump, taking the strain off your lower back and making your massage a more relaxing experience.
The bean bag can be used throughout your pregnancy, right up to your due date, and can be adjusted to make it more comfortable for you. Read about the bean bag at www.bumpbag.co.uk.
You don't need to bring any special clothes with you. You will be lying on the beanbag, covered by a towel, during the massage.
The massage includes your feet, legs, back, neck and shoulders. The massage of the legs and feet is gentle and helps improve circulation and relieve swelling.
The main focus of the massage is the back, neck and shoulders, as these are the most common areas of discomfort. Massage on these areas is deeper but will not cause discomfort.
Many of my pregnant clients feel themselves drifting into a relaxing sleep during the massage and feel calm and refreshed after their massage.
Please note: if you have difficulty with stairs or have mobility problems, please contact me before booking your appointment.
The benefits of pregnancy massage
How often to have a pregancy massage
After your first trimester, a pregnancy massage once a month will help ease aches and pains and help you relax. During the later stages of pregnancy, more frequent massage may help to relieve discomfort. How often you have a massage is entirely up to you. If you are not experiencing any health problems during your pregnancy, there is no risk. Some of my clients have seen me weekly during their pregnancy.
I also run workshops on massage during pregnancy and labour, which teaches fathers-to-be a simple routine to use during labour to help ease pain as well as an easy pregnancy massage. The workshop can be booked at your home at a time to suit you.

The comfort and safety of my clients is very important to me. If you are not sure whether it is safe for you to have a massage, please speak to your midwife or doctor. If you are having physiotherapy, osteopathy or chiropractic treatments, please let me know.
Please note: Although there is no record of massage causing problems during the first trimester, I prefer not to see clients during this period.
