Pregnancy, Labour & Post Partum Massage

Massage during pregnancy helps you relax during a time of physiological change. Helping to relieve aches, pain and other health problems associated with pregnancy. We know that preparing for your baby’s arrival is a busy time, it is also super important time for you to relax and unwind, with full focus on your body and the baby.
Research also shows ‘that the unborn baby can be affected by stress levels experienced by it’s mother. Massage has an indirect effect on the baby as the mother releases oxytocin and prolactin’ (London School of Massage 2023) This comes about from the stimulation of the skin. The more relaxed you are during your pregnancy, the more relaxed the birth can be.  It is time to put yourself on the ‘to do’ list!
