“Do not stop the movement to find peacefulness.

Find peacefulness within the movements.”

Chinese proverb

Pregnancy Thai Yoga Massage

A deeply restorative body work, Thai Yoga Massage is a healing session for both body and mind. Developed in India at the time of Buddha and later embraced and passed down by Buddhist Monks in Thailand, treatments are as much a spiritual practice as a physical therapy.

Using a combination of acupressure, gentle rocking (if appropriate), supported yoga stretches and joint mobilisation, Thai Yoga Massage works the energy lines within the body to help release tension, restore balance and bring about a state of deep relaxation.

In pregnancy we are able to offer a complete body treatment in the side lying position, allowing you to feel stretched, relaxed and receive pressure in a safe and comfortable way.

""I had two pregnancy massages in my third trimester with Alex and they were fantastic. From the moment I walked into the room she made me feel at ease and took time to get to know me and understand my needs. Alex has an excellent understanding of the pregnant body and found all the areas where I really needed work on. The movements were gentle but firm and she worked with my comfort levels so it was both relaxing and rejuvenating. They were wonderful massages and I highly recommend! ""

The practical bits........

Comfortable clothing is worn throughout.
A vegan balm may be used on the hands, feet and face. No oils are used.
The treatment is given on a futon on the floor.
The whole body is treated from toes to head.
Hands, thumbs, elbows, forearms, feet and or knees may be used to sensitively work the energy lines and apply different types of pressure.
Each session is different and based on your current needs.
At the end of the session, your body will still be processing the work, so try to give yourself time to relax during the rest of your day and drink plenty of water.
