What is pregnancy massage?
Pregnancy massage is greatly beneficial throughout all stages of pregnancy, however if you are experiencing a high risk pregnancy, it is best to get the all clear from your physician prior to massage. A pregnancy massage can incorporate many styles including a full body Swedish massage to light massage work that might include other modalities such as alleviating sore problem areas through various massage techniques.
I can perform pregnancy massage whilst lying on your tummy in my special pregnancy support pillow system if you choose to lie on your tummy. However, if you prefer the side-lying position, I can certainly accommodate you.

• Reduces swelling in hands, feet and ankles
