Why consider Pregnancy and Postnatal Massage?
The root of Thai Massage lies in the intention of inviting loving kindness into your body. Gentle Thai bodywork can be a powerful therapy to receive during all stages of pregnancy and beyond.
Pregnancy Thai Massage takes place mostly lying down on your side, with the support of cushions and blankets to avoid pressure on the belly. Wearing loose comfortable clothing, the onus is on inviting you to feel comfortable and at ease. Working the entire body from feet to head, no part gets missed. With explicit openness for you to change position when you want to, and openly communicate what your needs are, this is a moment for you to pause and be cared for.
Postnatal massage focuses on increasing your energy levels with a peaceful alertness and relieving tight shoulders and backache from carrying your newborn. The massage is baby-friendly if your newborn needs feeding or cuddles.
Following a complete treatment you can expect to feel relaxed, refreshed, energised, still, open, at peace and more aware of your breath and body.
