Expert Care with Specialist Qualifications

All of our Clinical Massage Therapists are trained to treat clients safely during pregnancy.

Her specialised training means your massage can be adapted to support conditions such as:
-
pelvic girdle pain (PGP)
-
sciatica
-
lower back and hip pain
-
rib discomfort
-
upper-back and shoulder tension
-
pregnancy-related stress or anxiety
Why Choose Pregnancy Massage?
​
During pregnancy, your body goes through rapid physical and emotional changes. Massage can be an incredibly supportive way to manage these changes, helping to:
-
reduce muscular tension
-
support pelvic alignment
-
ease pelvic girdle pain and lower back pain
-
reduce swelling and discomfort
-
improve sleep quality
-
promote relaxation and emotional wellbeing
Our treatment approach focuses on restoring muscle balance and easing the common areas of strain that often develop as your posture adapts throughout pregnancy.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
​
Your comfort and safety are always our priority.
At your first appointment, we will:
-
discuss your stage of pregnancy
-
ask about symptoms you would like help with
-
assess any relevant medical considerations
-
adapt positioning and techniques for your comfort
Massage is gentle, targeted and always tailored to your needs. We take care to ensure you feel supported throughout every stage of treatment.
If we have any concerns before proceeding, we may ask for a referral letter from your GP or midwife — simply as an extra precaution to ensure you receive the safest and most appropriate care.

Is Pregnancy Massage Safe?
Yes — when delivered by a properly trained therapist, pregnancy massage is safe throughout all trimesters. We adjust your position, pressure and technique to support your changing body and ensure you remain comfortable.
If you're unsure whether pregnancy massage is suitable for you, we’re always happy to advise.
​
Postnatal Massage
After birth, massage can help ease the physical stresses of labour, breastfeeding, lifting, and caring for a newborn. Postnatal massage supports recovery, reduces muscle strain, and provides a nurturing space for rest.
