Pregnancy Massage
Massage and aromatic herbs have been used in pregnancy and assisted in labour for centuries. Aromatherapy can support a woman's journey through her pregnancy by offering relaxation, nurturing touch and relief from the many associated symptoms including: hormonal shifts leading to unpredictable mood swings and altered body image, morning sickness, lower back ache, fluid retention, heavy swollen legs and ankles and general fatigue.
Wisely chosen essential oils can offer invaluable support during pregnancy, labour and post-partum, as well as offering perineal care in preparation for birth. Nourishing organic cold-pressed vegetable oils such as Jojoba and Rosehip oil can also help in the prevention of stretch marks.
Post-natal depression can affect anyone post-birth and maybe frightening and confusing for both partners. I offer support through aromatic bodywork to create the space needed for you to feel understood and held.

“At 41 weeks pregnant, Wendy's massage became both a physical healing for my body and an emotional nurturing for my soul. Every attention was made to my comfort and well being. Wendy invited me with scent, sound, intention and touch, to return to a place of unconditional acceptance and safety. Waves of love and tears of joy filled my vulnerable body. I never before realised that massage could be such a wonderful emotional experience, as well as the more traditional physical outlet.
Wendy's aromatherapeutic post-natal care was equally nurturing. She was mindful of both the needs of my new baby and of my recovering body. Wendy carefully selected oils that would put my feet firmly on the ground, whilst my head burst into the sky. The benefits of Wendy's touch and intention will stay with me for a long time to come. The ultimate gift at this monumental time. Ever grateful.”
