- Encouraging and nurturing the beautiful mother and child bond -
The delightful pregnancy massage is a gentle, nurturing experience encouraging you to connect to your breath and body so as to strengthen the bond between yourself and the growing baby.
During pregnancy your body undergoes many changes, some of them stressful and uncomfortable. This massage also helps reduce swelling in the legs and feet and stretch marks on the skin. The therapist uses a special massage table in a wonderful massage that relieves the muscle cramps, back, shoulder and neck pain that pregnant women may suffer. A pregnancy massage is a perfect way to keep your body and its systems toned and energised for the miracle that is about to happen.
The benefits of a Pregnancy Massage:
- Eliminates waste products through the lymphatic and circulatory systems. This combats fatigue and helps you feel more energetic;
- Increases local and general blood circulation which brings more oxygen and nutrients to the cells of both mother and baby. This means greater vitality and less fatigue for you and better nourishment for your baby;
- Eases the load on your heart and helps to keep your blood pressure in check;
- Alleviates muscular discomforts such as cramping, tension and knots;
- Alleviates many of the discomforts during pregnancy: backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches, sore & swollen ankles and feet;
