Pregnancy massage gives you a wonderful experience of bonding and connection, helping you feel more in touch with yourself and with your baby. Its nurturing touch allows you to connect with your inner wisdom and strength. And it can help with some of more physical niggles you can get during pregnancy.
Post-natal massage is one of the best ways to help you to recover from being pregnant. On a physical level massage will help to restore your abdominal muscles, address pelvic floor toning, improve circulation and lymphatic flow and relieve back and shoulder aches.
Touch helps the recovery process after the birth. It can relieve stress and trauma, especially if your birth experience differed from your expectations.
Regina trained with Suzanne from Wellmother in pregnancy massage, massage during labour and post-natal massage. She has also had specialist training working with women having a "high risk" pregnancy (with Suzanne). She is trained in the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® (ATMAT). Rosita Arvigo herself taught the pregnancy and advanced Maya Abdominal Therapy Techniques. Regina has done intensive training in myofascial release.

At Bristol Massage Therapy we pride ourselves on being the best massage practitioners in Bristol. A bold claim perhaps, but one we truly believe in. We are passionate about our work as massage therapists – it is a privilege and joy, working with our clients so that they can feel good with, about and in their bodies.

We are a team of practitioners with a passion for massage, operating in the heart of Bristol. One of our specialities is pregnancy massage, with all those practitioners who offer these appointments having trained with Suzanne and hold the Well Mother qualification.

We also offer deep tissue work, sports massage or a bit of deep relaxation, so whatever stage of life you are at, we can really help.

Situated in the heart of Glastonbury, I offer therapeutic and restorative massage for all, I believe that every person should be able to benefit from the natural healing approach of massage, whether you need relaxation or treating back pain.

I specialise in Pregnancy massage for all trimesters, which allows me to work on the body in a side position, but this can also be adapted to where mother is most comfortable. I also work with the mother preparing towards the birth of her baby, giving advice, breathing techniques, and visualisations. Massage can be a wonderful bonding time for mother and baby to have time out of a busy life to focus and connect with herself and her growing baby. “If you are looking after yourself, you are also looking after your baby”

I also work with couples helping both mother and birth partner. Giving tips and techniques to help the birth partner be more supportive, showing them how to massage and energy points during labour.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks Sarah
