Your pregnancy journey is a precious time. You may feel connected, flowing and full of life. You can also feel overwhelmed, in pain, aching, sleep deprived, and anxious. The emotional rollercoaster could and can, bring all of these in one day!
Booking a pregnancy massage or series of massages can really support you to feel connected to your own needs, giving you time to nurture your body, mind and baby, especially when there are many other demands in life.
Working either on massage table, exercise ball or futon mattress, I can support you and your baby in a relaxing, nurturing and personalised massage, that attends to the needs of your body on the day. I include visualisation and light movement work in the sessions to allow you to really connect in with your body and baby and to allow the demands of the outside world to melt away for session time.
My approach to your massage session will be authentic, open and supportive. I can work with you at any stage of pregnancy and during postnatal times. I have a very welcoming therapy room in Malvern, or I can also provide massage in your home, too. I can also work with you and with your partner or birth partner, to provide antenatal support in your home.
I very much look forward to hearing from you, if you would like to connect.

I tailor the massasge to your needs.
We can work on the couch in a sidelying position if that is comfortable for you, or we can exlore ways to seat you, leaning over the couch, or maybe even kneeling on the floor and over an excercise ball. Your comfort is my priority and we can try different ways until we find one that suits you. It may be that we try all of them over the 9 months!

If you are first time client, I'll get in touch before hand with a consulation form for you to fill in and return, this will help me to prepare for our first session together and talk about any special requirements you may have.

I look forward to bringing you some rest time when you need it most during your pregnancy.
