Pregnancy massage - As a woman moves through her pregnancy, she can experience changes in the body and stress on some areas that can cause discomfort. We ensure the utmost comfort for our pregnant women, so that they can experience a treatment that nurtures and relaxes, whilst also tending to any problem areas. Regular massage throughout pregnancy can provide so many benefits, including:

Post-natal Massage - massage post-natally is so valuable. Not only is it a chance for the new mother to have some time out to relax, nurture  and gather herself but it is also great for helping to reduce any stresses, provide support and release tension from any areas that may be causing discomfort from breastfeeding.

'Mother Roasting' - this is an ancient treatment practiced by many different cultures in slightly varied ways. Usually performed 2 weeks after the birth, 'Mother Roasting' is a process of warming the womb and the body to aid recovery.

'In Malaysia, the mother is given a massage a week or so after giving birth, with a special stone that is heated on the fire, wrapped in a cloth and placed on the abdomen. In South East Asia, new mothers are encouraged to sit next to the open fire. in Thailand, newly delivered women are sometimes placed in a special bed above a fire.'

Here we use a Chinese Medicine technique called Moxbustion, along with specific healing massage, warm oils and towels and warm wheat packs to aid recovery, restore energy and support the liver, kidney and digestive systems. This treatment is beautifully nourishing for the qi and blood in a new mothers body, which is so beneficial and needed.

This treatment is really the perfect gift if you want to give something nurturing and rejuvenating for a new mother.
