Labour Massage
Your baby's birth is a time when relaxation, calm and comfort is essential.
​
Labour massage gives you the opportunity to relax and let go during your baby's birth, at whatever stage of labour you're at.
​
I'm happy to attend your birth at a hospital, birth centre or at home, to give you and your body the attention it requires, to help support you through surges/contractions, or help you rest in between. I will be a calm presence, there for you, to support you in any way you wish.
​
I can also show your birth partner how he/she can massage you through labour, giving you the opportunity to bond and relax with their touch.
​
Benefits of labour massage are:
​
-
Relieves back ache
-
Supports your body through each stage of labour
-
Relaxes muscles
-
Relieves muscle cramps
-
Helps release feel good hormones (natural pain relief)
-
Baby benefits from the relaxation and hormones released
​
​
​
The treatment can be carried out in any position you choose, enabling you to get into a position that's comfortable for you during each stage of labour.
​
The massage will be individually tailored to suit your needs.
​
I use neutral, organic oils so that there's no worry of strong smells (we know how much pregnancy can alter those senses!).
