– is safe during all stages of pregnancy and has many benefits, including, assisting to create the best physical environment and space for you and bub to grow via the relaxation and correct positioning of your muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. Reducing the physical demands on your body allows your body to better cope with the increasing stresses and strains placed on it over the coming months. As your belly grows and body adapts many women can experience general aches and pains, fluid retention, back or pelvis pain, shortness of breath or conditions such as Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome all of which can be helped with massage when other forms of previous pain relief are now limited. Creating mental relaxation also provides calmness and positivity for both you and bub.

Massages can be performed lying on your side or tummy via the use of specialised pillows to provide comfort for you and bub whilst accommodating and protecting your growing tummy.

If your bub is overdue, massaging certain pressure points may help to stimulate labour. These points are avoided at earlier stages.

– is an ancient healing method that uses suction to pull on your skin into a vacuum cup. Suction from cupping draws blood into the treated area which causes expansion and micro ruptures of the  tiny blood vessels (capillaries) under your skin (this is what leaves the signature red marks on the skin). Your body replenishes the blood in and around the treated areas with healthier, fresh blood which stimulates healing and relaxation whilst removing and flushing away waste and toxins.

Cupping is often used to relieve conditions that cause pain or chronic (ongoing) health issues for example: back pain, neck pain, joint pain, arthritis, headaches or migraines.

– is a when heated stones are placed on your skin or used in the therapists hands to perform the massage. The combination of massage therapy and heat the stones provide increase blood flow to the area which improves healing along with reducing tension and pain. This form of massage has been around for centuries and is thought to have originated thousands of years ago from Ayurveda medicine.
