Pregnancy Massage
Also drawing from shiatsu massage, pregnancy massage tends to be more gentle, focussing on nourishment and support. Any stage of pregnancy can be treated, using alternative positions such as side position in later stages.
Benefits include:
- 'Me time'
- Reduces stress
- deeply relaxing for mind, muscles and nervous system
- encourages the body to regenerate and heal itself
- eases common discomforts such as low back pain, poor circulation, oedema, poor digestion, insomnia, tight neck and shoulders, sciatica, and achey hips.
- time to assimilate the changes taking place to body/mind
- acupressure points can be used for specific conditions at particular stages of pregnancy, and even during the birth itself, for example, to help establish labour and to reduce back pain during contractions
I draw from a sound understanding of the physiology of pregnancy, honouring the concoction of physical, emotional, hormonal, psychological and spiritual changes taking place.
