Holistic Pregnancy Massage

Touch, our first language, enhances our expression of love, caring, respect and aids in the bonding process.

We speak to the baby through our hands by loving touch.

Pregnancy massage promotes wellbeing and enhances bonding between mother-to-be, baby, partner as well as the massage giver.

Pregnancy massage assists in the growth and development of baby's body, mind and spirit whilst still in the womb and it also helps with physical signs the body undergoes during these months.

The training is focused on meeting the needs of both mother-to-be and baby.
