Getting a pregnant woman comfortable on a massage table is not always that simple, especially as the pregnancy progresses. I use a special body cushioning system so that my pregnant clients can lay comfortably supported during this special time – either face down or side lying. This is a specially designed 4 part orthopaedic device that allows you to lie face down for the massage – see the photos on the next page to see how fantastic the cushioning system supports the pregnant body. There is no strain on any ligaments or a feeling of squashed breasts and belly – seriously comfortable!
Some clients have felt so comfortable on the body cushions that they have preferred to lay face down during massage for practically the entire pregnancy.
The treatment is usually 1 hour in duration with some resting time at the end. Only cold-pressed vegetable oil is used for the massage.
I generally recommend regular massage sessions - fortnightly to monthly up to the last 4 weeks. During the last few weeks of pregnancy clients generally favour more regular sessions - weekly to fortnightly.

Hot Stone Massage
The ultimate in indulgent massage! Traditional massage is more than enhanced by using heated, oiled stones. The gentle warmth of the stones together with the aromatherapy of an essential oil blend will allow you to completely & utterly relax. Induces relaxation and stress reduction, assists detoxification of the body and may relieve chronic pain.
Indian Head Massage
Indian Head massage is so effective as it helps soothe and relax the nervous system while relieving joint and muscle stiffness. It is also a very beneficial treatment for tension headaches and eyestrain. Different strokes and pressure are used to stimulate the lymphatic and circulatory system. Done while you are seated in a chair and your feet are soaking in an aromatherapy foot bath.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue - focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It is designed to reach the deep sections of thick muscles, specifically the individual muscle fibres. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders.
Remedial Massage
Remedial -works to heat muscles and tendons that are damaged, impaired or knotted. It holistically treats the whole body and traces the discomfort back to the original cause. It uses specialised techniques to support and speed up the body's own repair mechanisms. The massage is applied directly to the skin usually with an oil lubricant. Passive stretching moves are also employed.
Myofascial Cupping
- No extra charge Ask when booking
Myofascial cupping - is used to expel toxins from areas of pain and tightness and uses glass or plastic cups, held by suction, to massage the body. The action on the nervous system can be sedating and the client can experience a deep state of relaxation.
It is a non-invasive way to soften broad areas of tension so that more specific massage techniques can be comfortably applied. It is a quick way to release areas where muscles and fascia are very tight. Myofascial cupping is especially effective for tightness of the iliotibial (IT) band, neck and shoulder, tightness and spasm in the middle to lower back, but can be used very effectively on most areas of the body.
In conjunction with massage the cups will provide a stretch for the muscles and fascia as well as drawing toxins to the surface.
Frequently after cupping topical red marks remain. Though they look similar to bruising, they are not painful and are an indication that toxins and stagnation are being pulled to the surface of the body to be eliminated by the lymphatic system.
Typically these red marks last between 2 to 7 days.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage -a gentle whole body treatment which relaxes the nervous system and aids the body's immune system. It involves a range of specialised and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move skin in the direction of the lymph flow through a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes. This supports the body to naturally eliminate excess toxins, dead cells, viruses, bacteria and chemicals.
The process can take anywhere from 30 minutes for a localised area to two hours when working on the whole body.
Lymphatic drainage massage is especially useful for individuals who seem to suffer regularly from common illnesses like colds, flu and sinus. It is also recommended for people who lead sedentary lifestyles. It has been cited as having a positive effect on problem skin, cellulite, dysfunctional respiratory systems and people with low energy.
By stimulating this system through massage, it works more efficiently, which in turn boosts the immune system, clears blockages, eliminates toxins, transports nutrients to cells and increases the metabolism.
Chakra Balancing
Balancing the chakras is believed to promote general health and well-being by ensuring the free flow of life energy (also known as prana or qi) throughout the body. It is believed that blockages in the flow of this vital energy will eventually result in mental, emotional, and/or physical illness. By removing such blockages and maximizing energy flow, it enables the body, mind, and spirit to function optimally.
