Pregnancy

Overview
Pregnancy transforms your body, and while it’s miraculous, it can also be exhausting, uncomfortable, and sometimes painful.
From back and pelvic pain, swelling in the legs, to poor sleep and tension in the shoulders, many expecting moms find their bodies working overtime. Hormonal changes, posture shifts, and emotional ups and downs only add to the load.
Treatment during pregnancy helps ease tension, improve circulation, support posture, and give you time to reconnect with your body in a safe, supportive way.
Whether you’re in the second trimester or nearing birth, we are here to help you feel more at ease throughout from your first week till post-delivery.
During the session
- Your comfort comes first. We will adjust your position using pillows and support cushions to keep you safe and relaxed, usually side-lying or semi-reclined, depending on your stage and needs.
- We focus on the areas carrying the most tension: maybe it’s your lower back from the growing belly, or your legs after long days standing. We use gentle techniques-nothing too deep, nothing that overstimulates - to create release and calm your nervous system.
- Many expecting moms say that after treatment, it is the first time in weeks that they have felt fully grounded and supported.
Treatment Recommendations
We offer 60 and 90-minute pregnancy massage treatment sessions, chosen based on your condition:
- 60 minutes – Most popular, especially in the second and third trimester.
- 90 minutes – Ideal for full-body care or when combining swelling, fatigue, and pain management.
Treatments can be beneficial throughout pregnancy, with adjustments to the duration to suit each stage of pregnancy.
For ongoing support, we suggest:
- Fortnightly sessions from week 16–30
- Weekly sessions from week 31–birth
- Postnatal treatment (especially in the first 6 weeks after delivery) can also help with recovery, feeding posture, and emotional reset.
Always let us know how you’re feeling. Your session is about supporting you and your growing baby in the most respectful, attuned way.
