Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy is a wonderfully exciting and fulfilling experience however at times periods of stress and exhaustion can occur. As you celebrate your good news and marvel at your developing body, a relaxing, soothing massage can provide the deep level of T.L.C. you need. ‘A Little YOU Time’ gives you not only the enjoyment of a pamper session, moisturising, nourishing natural oils into your skin but also the luxury of space and time to talk freely about your feelings without judgement.

The benefits of massage during pregnancy are natural and too numerous to count but here are just a few…

As your body develops and grows, massage helps your circulation, it supports and encourages the flow of essential oxygen and nutrient rich fluids to vital organs of your body including the rapidly growing baby’s life line – the placenta.

Massage assists your lymphatic system, fighting infection and reducing the risk of oedema (swelling). Massage helps you avoid the development of varicose veins and supports your digestion too, helping to avoid sluggish bowel movement and constipation.

Gentle soothing massage encourages the release of oxytocin our natural pain reducing hormone, the warming comforting massage routine alleviates muscle discomfort which may be experienced in the upper back, shoulders, lumber region and hips. Massage supports the small muscles too, particularly between the ribs and chest, helping to maintain breathing comfort especially as your body shape changes and during birth.
Deep relaxation is a natural reaction to pregnancy massage, positively diminishing any emotional stress and anxiety and producing feelings of wellbeing. This in turn frequently results in peaceful healthy sleep.

My priority is to safely look after your comfort and wellbeing at this very important and special time. Initially we will work together to complete your health consultation, this will assist us to plan a personalised approach to your massage plan and ensure that your massage sessions are relaxing and uplifting experiences.

I look forward to warmly welcoming you to the A Little YOU Time therapy room during the second and third trimesters of your pregnancy and hopefully long into the future.
