Massage

Massage therapy and bodywork can be extremely valuable in pregnancy as your body goes through immense changes.
Massage induces a sense of calm leading to greater emotional stability in the mother and subsequently in the baby.
The impact continues long after the birth and the baby recognises that massage = calm!
The aches and pains of pregnancy can be greatly reduced or even eliminated. Common discomforts including fluid retention, varicose veins, nausea and shortness of breath can be relieved.
Massage can also contribute to a shorter less painful labour by programming the body memory with the soothing stimulus of touch.
