Maternity Specific Therapies
Maternity adapted Hot and Cold Stone Massage: Half body 30mins; Full body 60mins.
Volcanic basalt stones are warmed and used in this massage, as an extension of the therapists touch. The use of hot stones
​with or without essential oils in a massage, is one of the most effective ways to relieve aches and pains from an ever changing pregnant belly.
Alternatively cooling the stones can ease and reduce swelling to hands, feet and ankles.
A combination of hot and cold stone therapy may be beneficial during pregnancy.
​
Maternity Aromatherapy massage: Half body 30mins; Full body 60mins.
An aromatherapy massage will stimulate the olfactory system, giving you a deeper sensory experience. Not​ all essential oils are suitable for pregnancy and of course, your tolerance to a fragrance may change throughout your gestation. A combination of essential oils will be blended for your specific requirements. These oils will be used in your treatment and a blend will be given to you for use at home. Once the right aromatic fragrance is found for you, the treatment can reduce symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
​
Maternity Reflexology: Treatment time: 60mins.
This treatment is offered from pre conception, throughout pregnancy and postnatally; helping you to relax, to enjoy your pregnancy and beyond.

An excellent therapy for lowering blood pressure, reducing anxiety and depression.

Maternity Reflexology with Leg Massage: Treatment time: 90mins.
Prior to a reflexology treatment, your lower legs and feet will be cleansed, exfoliated and
your feet soaked. Using aromatherapy based lotions, your legs, feet and ankles will be
massaged and moisturised. Then your reflexology treatment begins. This treatment is
perfect for swollen, aching legs and ankles.

If you have been receiving reflexology in pregnancy and are still pregnant,
past your due date, specific reflexology techniques can be used
to prime your body for labour.
