Shiatsu for women's health, fertility, pregnancy, postnatal, menstrual health, Baby Shiatsu

Justine received Shiatsu at her first birth back in 1997 and was blown away at how effective it was. She was on a mission for every women to receive Shiatsu in their pregnancy and labour. She first met Suzanne in 2002 and started to do the Well Mother training while continuing to support women through Shiatsu.
In 2007 Justine taught her first module with Suzanne in Brighton and continued to teach 'Shiatsu for Midwives & Doulas' both in a hospital and retreat setting. In 2009 she started to train as a Pilates teacher and by 2011 was incorporating her knowledge of Pilates into her pre and post natal Shiatsu sessions.
In 2013, Justine and her family moved to Toronto, where along with teaching Pilates, she taught Shiatsu pregnancy couples workshops, attended a few births and taught Doulas 'Shiatsu for labour'. She has specialised in pelvic floor health and currently runs workshops on the Hypopressive method. Justine has recently moved back to East Sussex and plans to continue her teaching both in the UK and Canada.

Women’s health massage practitioner, supporting women through their month cycles, fertility, pregnancy, postnatal and menopause.

I am both a massage therapist and a Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncturist working in Glasgow, Southside. I have a special interest in women's health as well as acute and chronic pain. I can combine pregnancy massage with acupuncture to achieve the ultimate relaxation and individual treatment for your priorities and pregnancy needs. I can also use acupressure points (acupuncture without the needles) during your pregnancy massage treatment. I hold a remedial and sports massage qualification and some of these techniques can be used as appropriate.

I offer pregnancy massage for any stage of pregnancy. I use massage and / or acupressure from 36 weeks pregnant to help you to prepare for labour. This involves acupressure / acupuncture points on mainly your legs. The majority of my clients find that having weekly treatments helps reduce the likelihood of being induced. This treatment supports cervix ripening (early stages of dilation). Treatment sessions to teach your partner how to massage you are available. During these sessions, I will teach your partner relevant acupressure for labour preparation and for labour. A booklet with all the points taught is also provided.

If you do go past your due date, we can use a combination of massage and acupuncture to support you starting labour. Again I can teach your partner which acupressure points to use at home to support your labour.

At your appointment I will discuss your priorities, any health issues and check that you are happy with the treatment I have planned. Treatments can be adjusted to suit you. I have a Belloost pregnancy pillow for you to lie on when massaging your back and shoulders. It has a centre section cut away so that your belly is not squashed. Pregnant clients have commented on how comfortable this pillow is. Of course if you would prefer to lie on your side then that is good too.

Treatments are also available post pregnancy. Ask me about the healing and relaxing mother roasting with moxibustion.

I am MSc (Distinction) educated, holding an Acupuncture Diploma from Middlesex University. My thesis on acupuncture and endometriosis was awarded the prize for best dissertation in my year.
I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), The British Medical Acupuncture Society (BMAS) and The Complementary Therapists Association (CThA). I am fully insured and my acupuncture clinic is licensed by Glasgow City Council.

If you have any questions about treatments with me, please get in touch. I offer a free 15 minutes, no obligation discovery call

I have been practicing shiatsu since 1997, and completed Wellmother training in 2001. I work with a wide variety of clients as well as specialising in maternity work. I work with women throughout pregnancy, birth and in the postnatal period. I have expertise in working with women who have had difficult birth experiences.

I work in Chorlton and Manchester city centre.

I also teach shiatsu, with the Shiatsu College and independently, and I also offer small group or individual training.

I have been a holistic and beauty therapist for nearly 15 years. And I love it still! I started by completing my holistic diploma, then moved on to my beauty NVQ, collecting other treatments and skills along the way. Thai massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand was particularly amazing and I am also a specialist in pregnancy massage, training first within the spa where I worked and then on to complete the prestigious Well Mother qualification with Suzanne. I have been fortunate to work in some exceptional spas including Space NK, The Dorchester and Groom based in Selfridges, London.

I have had 2 babies over the last 5 years and having them has certainly enriched my soul and my understanding of the human body, how it works and just how strong it can be, even in stages of healing or ill health. I now work from a treatment room within my home and I see a variety of clients who visit me for specialist massage, pregnancy/post natal massage and essential beauty treatments. Having the freedom to work for myself and provide clients with beautiful treatments in a truly relaxing space is very important to me. My clients benefit from my time and my understanding which enables me to then make their appointment personal and bespoke.

Massage therapy is a very personal treatment to receive especially when you are pregnant. My approach to pregnancy massage is to help guide you into deep relaxation, this invites you to go inwards and connect with your body and most importantly your baby. I believe a massage throughout pregnancy should be an experience into self and leave you feeling reconnected, nurtured and supported physically and emotionally. I use skilled techniques to sensitively release tension, aches and pains, I also provide appropriate aftercare advice where needed.
I have had amazing feedback from my clients in my case studies and I am passionate about providing pregnancy massage going forward.

I'm Ann Ball and I run guru holistic therapies in Durham offering a wide range of complementary therapies. Having attended the Wellmother pregnancy and post natal courses in Bristol,  I use my  skills within my busy practice.

I have a sister company love bump baby which is all about fertility issues, pregnancy and postnatal.

I specialise in working with fertility using fertility reflexology, reproductive reflexology, fertility massage and hypnotherapy. For pregnancy, I am well known in the North East for my pregnancy massage available in all trimesters, reflexology throughout the pregnancy and maternity reflexology. I offer mother blessings and am an inactive doula but use the skills to enhance my hypnobirthing classes.

I offer postnatal massage and closing the bones ritual as well as 3 step rewind which is a hypnotherapy technique to help with traumatic birth experiences.

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.
