Pregnancy Massage

Take some well-deserved time to nurture yourself and your baby and celebrate the wonderful changes in your body.
Pregnancy massage can safely, comfortably and effectively relieve the physical stress of pregnancy, stimulating circulation and reducing postural discomfort and back pain, or may simply be a period of stillness and relaxation during this special time in your life and connecting in with your baby.

There is a choice of Pregnancy Massage oils for your unique treatment – there is the OmVeda Prasuya Natal Care Oil, Subtle Energies Ayurvedic Aromatherapy Pregnancy Range Oils or a personalised Anahata Blend.
Essential Oil Blends will lubricate and feed the skin and also help with the elasticity of the tissues and so help prevent stretch marks and improve circulation.
The blend created at Anahata should be used at home every day in conjunction with the treatment, on breasts, abdomen, thighs, buttocks etc.

We recommend a Pregnancy Massage treatment at least once a month in the early stages of pregnancy and more often as the pregnancy develops.

Research is proving that prenatal massage therapy can be very effective instrumental ingredient in women’s prenatal care.
Studies indicate that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labour outcomes and newborn health.

• reduce oedema and blood pressure;

• reduce muscle spasms and leg cramps;
• increase blood and lymph circulation resulting in more energy and less fatigue;
• facilitate hormonal, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary, and other physiological processes during pregnancy;
• stabilize hormonal levels making the side effects of pregnancy less severe;
• reduce musculoskeletal strain and pain;
• contribute to developing flexibility and the kinaesthetic awareness necessary to actively participate in the birth process;
• help prepare for an easier delivery;
• foster nurturing maternal touch; and
• enhance postnatal recovery of muscle tissues and structural realignment of the spine and pelvis.

Adding Bioptron Light Therapy to your treatment will further stimulate the lymphatic system making the treatment more effective especially where there is increased fluid retention and pressure build up anywhere in the body particularly in the legs, feet and hands in the later stages of pregnancy. The Bioptron Light Therapy is safe to be used all over the body.
