Pregnancy Massage Nelson

About

Welcome to where you can be nurtured and prepared for childbirth.

As an ex-Midwife and Naturopath, with over 25 years experience massaging 1,000’s of pregnant women (purpose built pregnancy table), you can relax, knowing you are in capable and professional hands. Pregnancy Massage is my specialty.

Now is the time to take special care of yourself and your growing baby. Studies point strongly to benefits such as quicker labours and fewer complications for mother and baby when therapeutic massage is incorporated into pregnancy care.

Pregnancy Massage encourages a special bonding with your unborn child and helps create a deep sense of ease, confidence and relaxation in preparation for your birth experience. Pregnancy Massage is a safe and effective way to relieve common discomforts of pregnancy such as an aching back, sore hips, sciatic nerve pain, tight neck and leg cramps associated with carrying an “extra load”. It will improve your flexibility, reduce swollen feet and ankles and help carpel tunnel syndrome.

Learning to relax deeply and completely is vital to prepare yourself for labour, and during a session this important skill can be practiced. Both baby and you benefit from the increase of “relaxation” hormones and decrease of “stress” hormones. Fatigue, nervous tension and insomnia are lessened leaving you feeling relaxed, positive and energised.

If baby becomes overdue I can use specific pressure points to help stimulate labour.

What can you expect? You will be totally indulged, whilst lying on a purpose built pregnancy table (where most women find they can lie comfortably on their front). Privacy is assured. Massage pressure will be tailored to your needs, while gentle acupressure will help balance and relieve minor complaints.

Pregnancy Massage is available from 12 weeks until delivery.

Postnatal Massage helps restore equilibrium in the postnatal period, relieving postpartum discomfort, tired shoulders and arms and quickening your postnatal recovery. Being a new mum is very demanding, so it is vital to nourish and nurture yourself!

As a one off, or regular part of your pregnancy care, prepare to feel fantastic.
