Maternity therapies from head to toe and sole to soul
Advanced Reflexology, Pregnancy Massage and Baby Massage
Pregnancy is one of the most amazing experiences a woman can have. It is also one of the biggest changes she will ever face, physically, biologially, mentally and emotionally! Massage and Reflexology Therapies can greatly relieve many of the symptoms and conditions that are associated with pregnancy and the adjustments that the body is having to undergo.
Advanced Reflexology
Uses deep techniques specific to infertility, pregnancy and induction of labour.
Infertility: additional deep stimulation is performed on the reproductive organs, glands and hormones.
Pregnancy: gives relief from symptoms such as tiredness, nausea, headaches, indigestion, constipation, stress, fluid retention, poor sleep and mood swings.
Induction of labour: regular sessions in the latter stage of pregnancy can help the onset of natural labour. Deep techniques are used in order to stimulate the uterus and release hormones necessary for labour.

Baby Massage Classes
(Parents are taught Massage and Reflexology techniques beneficial to many common conditions)
Massage and Reflexology, the underestimated power of touch can be a real comfort and benefit to your baby and can smooth baby’s transition from the womb into the world as well as strengthen and regulate the respiratory, digestive, circulatory, nervous and immune system and reduce the discomfort of colic, wind and constipation. Relaxation and restful sleep is encouraged, helps the development of body/mind awareness, improves coordination and stimulates baby's first language: touch. Parent and baby can relax together.
Bonding and the relationship between parent & baby is strengthened, it helps parent to understand baby's non-verbal communication, and
enhances parent's confidence and competence when dealing with baby. It
also reduces stress and anxiety for both. Pre-term babies can gain weight
more quickly and may also have accelerated brain and visual development.
Massaging your baby can also help with postnatal depression, promote lactation in breast-feeding mums and heighten the nurturing instinct (by stimulating hormones).
Classes will run for one hour per week for five weeks and must be block booked in advance. Your baby must be 6-8 weeks at first class.
