What to expect during your treatments?

During your first visit I will take in your health history and ask you health related questions relating to the focus of our treatments. It is important that you let me know in complete confidence of any health issues you may have so that our treatments may be safe and effective. I will perform a short assessment and then we may begin with your treatment. This should not take longer than 10 -15 min. For any consecutive visits we can go straight into the treatments unless there are any new concerns you would like to raise.

Massage Therapy during pregnancy

So you're expecting a baby. This is an exciting but likely very demanding time for you. Your body is going through an amazing transformation. Did you know that there is a simple way to help alleviate stress, muscle aches and labour pain while reducing the risk of complications and the need for intervention? The century old-practice of massage therapy can help to provide these benefits to you and improve the health of your soon-to-be-born baby.

Throughout our massage therapy treatments, I will work on improving posture to reduce the stress of the growing baby on your uterus and musculoskeletal system.

Massage therapy reduces stress, promotes relaxation, relieves muscle tension, increases circulation, reduces pregnancy-related swelling and develops sensory awareness necessary to relax during the 1st stage of labour. Ultimately the mother is more relaxed and able to progress faster and with more energy through labour.
