Who it suits
Anyone after childbirth who has been cleared by their doctor or midwife to receive massage. Please confirm timing with your medical practitioner first, particularly after a caesarean or any complication.
What to expect
Consult
A short conversation first — what's tight, what's tired, and anything medical worth knowing about.
Set pressure
Pressure is agreed before anything starts, so you're not deciding whether to speak up mid-session.
Treatment
The session itself, with pressure and focus adjusted as your therapist reads how your body responds.
Aftercare
What to expect over the next day or two, and a suggestion on when to come back.
Therapeutic massage and bodywork support comfort, mobility and recovery. They are not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment, and no outcome is guaranteed. Please consult a qualified medical practitioner about any health condition.
Other services
Swedish Massage
The classic full-body relaxation massage — long, flowing strokes and steady rhythm designed to ease everyday tension and leave your whole system a gear calmer.
Deep Tissue Massage
Firm, targeted pressure that works into the deeper layers of muscle to release stubborn knots and chronic tension that a lighter massage will not reach.
Sciatica Pain Massage
Focused soft-tissue work through the lower back, glutes and back of the leg — the areas most often involved when pain refers along the sciatic nerve. Pressure is agreed beforehand and adjusted as the session goes.
