Frequently Asked Questions

When can I receive a pregnancy massage?
I support women at every stage of pregnancy - from the earliest weeks to beyond your due date. Each session is adapted with my specialised pregnancy and postnatal training to keep you and your baby comfortable and safe.

Is it safe to get a massage in the first trimester?
Yes, it can be, as long as your massage is with a trained pregnancy therapist. If you’ve had any complications, it’s best to check in with your healthcare provider first.

How does pregnancy massage differ from a regular massage?
Pregnancy massage is tailored to your changing body. I use gentle techniques and supportive cushions, and most sessions are side-lying - a comfortable and safe position that helps your muscles relax and supports circulation. Every massage is personalised to your needs that day.

How soon after birth can I have a massage?
For vaginal births, many women enjoy massage from 1–2 weeks postpartum. After a caesarean, it’s best to wait until your health practitioner gives the all-clear (usually around 4–6 weeks). Sessions are adapted to your recovery and comfort.

Can I bring my baby along?
Yes! I understand that sometimes the only way to receive care is with your little one nearby. Babies are always welcome, whether in a pram or beside you.

Is there a space to feed my baby?
Absolutely - there’s a comfortable area where you can feed before or after your session.

How often should I have a pregnancy massage?

As often as feels right for you. Even one session can be deeply restorative, and regular massage helps ease tension, support wellbeing, and create a sense of calm. Pregnancy and postpartum are times of big physical and emotional change - you deserve to feel nurtured, supported, and cared for as you navigate this special journey.

When can I start postnatal massage?
You can begin gentle postnatal massage within a few days after birth, depending on your recovery and whether you had a vaginal or caesarean birth. I adapt each session to your body, helping with tension, soreness, and overall comfort.
