Pre-conception

A time to Build and nourish your body
  • Shiatsu promotes health and wellbeing prior to conception in preparation for Pregnancy and Motherhood

During Pregnancy

All the stages / trimesters of Pregnancy are supported by the use of Shiatsu, breath work, and exercises where necessary.

  • Improving circulation and Lymphatic drainage.
  • Encouraging optimal fetal positioning of the baby in preparation for labour

Post-natal

Once a woman becomes a mother everything changes - her body, her obligations, her priorities. Not only does she need to heal physically but she is responsible for another human being. It’s easy for her to put her needs aside in the interest of her baby's.

These first few weeks can be hugely emotional as she learns to take care of her new baby. And adjust to her role as a mother. This intense responsibility combined with hormones that are still present in the system (and will remain for months if she is breast feeding) can lead to mood swings and depression. A perfect remedy for all of this soreness and mental stress is a shiatsu massage.
Shiatsu provides a vital part of care at this crucial time by:
  • Promoting physical and emotional recovery after birth.
  • Relieving back, neck and shoulder tension.
  • Supporting breast feeding. 
  • Improving sleep and reduce fatigue. 
  • Helping with early adjustments to parenting
  • Enhancing positive relationship with partner and baby 
  • Healing birth trauma.
