Pregnancy Massage
Our Edinburgh Pregnancy Massage is a deeply relaxing and restorative treatment tailored entirely to your needs and your stage in pregnancy. A full treatment can include a combination of techniques such as Swedish, Acupressure, Deep Tissue and Indian Head Massage, Shiatsu and Lymphatic Drainage, as well as gentle stretching, breathing and guided visualisations.
If you would like to discuss your individual needs before booking, please don't hesitate to contact us. Our aim is to provide a safe, inclusive and welcoming space for all.
Who can benefit?
Massage during pregnancy can help you adjust to the dramatic changes you are experiencing as you prepare for childbirth. It is safe at any stage during pregnancy.
There are many well-documented benefits to regular pregnancy massage including reduced anxiety and back pain, improved mood and sleep, lowered urinary stress hormones, as well as calmer, shorter and less intervened birth experiences.
How will I be lying?
Pregnancy Massage is usually undertaken with you in the side-lying position, or semi-reclining, and supported by specially designed 'Body Support Cushions'. Most clients say they wish they could take the cushions home with them!
Please note we do recommend booking a 90 minute appointment for your first Pregnancy massage as the initial consultation can take up to 10-15 minutes. Booking a 90 minute appointment ensures there is enough time for the consultation and a full body massage. Subsequent appointments can then be booked for 60 minutes.
