Flu injection
I have had the flu injection this year. I feel it's important for me to have the injection as I have a lot of pregnant clients.
Pregnancy Massage
Your relaxing pregnancy massage will take place on the bump bag pregnancy bean bag. This is a specially designed bean bag for pregnancy, which allows you to lie face down safely and comfortably. Lying in this way takes the strain off your back, neck and shoulders, safely supports your bump and makes your massage a more relaxing experience.
Pregnancy massage is safe from your second trimester right up to your due date. I've seen clients who are at their due date and who have gone a little over their due date. It's especially beneficial towards the end of pregnancy as it may help you feel calmer and more comfortable.
Pregnancy massage takes place at my therapy room in Highbury. I do not do home visits.
Pregnancy massage helps ease tight muscles in the back, neck and shoulders and can help improve circulation in the legs and feet.
The
comfort and safety of
my clients is very important to me. If you are not sure whether it is
safe for you to have a massage, please speak to your midwife or doctor.
If you are having physiotherapy, osteopathy or chiropractic treatments,
please let me know.
What
to expect during your massage
You don't need to bring any special clothes with you. You will be lying on the bean bag, covered by a towel, during the massage.
The massage includes your feet, legs, back, neck and shoulders. The massage of the legs and feet is gentle and helps improve circulation and relieve swelling.
The main focus of the massage is the back, neck and shoulders, as these are the most common areas of discomfort. Massage on these areas is deeper but will not cause discomfort.
Many of my pregnant clients feel themselves drifting into a relaxing sleep during the massage and feel calm and refreshed after their massage.
Please note: if you have difficulty with stairs or have mobility problems, please contact me before booking your appointment.

How often to have a pregancy massage
After your first trimester, a pregnancy massage once a month will help ease aches and pains and help you relax. During the later stages of pregnancy, more frequent massage may help to relieve discomfort. How often you have a massage is entirely up to you. If you are not experiencing any health problems during your pregnancy, there is no risk. Some of my clients have seen me weekly during their pregnancy. I have seen clients right up to their due date and a few whose babies are overdue.
Workshop on massage during labour and pregnancy
I run workshops on massage during pregnancy and labour, which teaches fathers-to-be a simple routine to use during labour to help ease pain as well as an easy pregnancy massage. The workshop can be booked at your home at a time to suit you.
Bump bag pregnancy bean bags for hire
If you'd like to use a bump bag bean bag in your own home, but don't want the expense of buying one, you can hire one from me. I have two spare bean bags which I rent out for £10 a week (plus a £40 refundable deposit). If you're having trouble sleeping or getting comfortable, resting on the bean bag may be the ideal solution. One of my clients even used it during the early stages of labour.
To hire a bean bag, please email me. You will need to pick up the bean bag yourself as I am not able to deliver it. You will also need to bring it back afterwards. The bump bag is 135cm long x 90cm wide x 30cm tall.
