Pregnancy Massage is a wonderful way of
relaxing the body and mind, boosting circulation, encouraging
strengthened immunity, warding off stretch marks and providing relief
for a number of pregnancy related issues such as lower and upper back
ache, swollen ankles, ligament pain, shoulder tension and cramps.
Here at The Baby Centre, we understand you
need to feel nurtured and safe when receiving your pregnancy massage and
therefore, we DON'T expect you to teeter on a massage couch.


Alone or With Your
Baby
Instead we arrange you on our specially
designed pregnancy bean bags which not only ensure you can completely
relax comfortably and safely, but also allow you to enjoy the luxury of
lying tummy down once more, thus receiving the benefits of a 'proper'
full back and leg massage and at the same time encouraging your baby off
your lower back and into the optimal foetal position.
Enjoy resting in a candle lit large
private studio, laden with beanbags, cushions, soft blankets and towels
to guarantee you a completely private and pampering experience.
Gentle music or positive birthing affirmations can be played throughout
your treatment.
For a truly relaxing and unique
experience opt for our Acoustic Massage or for a combined massage and
relaxation/visualisation treatment.
No time for a full body massage
(1hr20minutes of heaven)! Why not opt for a traditional
Indian Head and Shoulders Massage which works on rebalancing the body and mind. Or
alternatively a lower leg and foot massage can make swollen ankles feel
as light as a feather!
Our
Signature Treatment - new for 2008
To relax body and mind and
understand the flow of your energy and the miraculous capabilities of
your birthing body ....surely all expectant deserve this and this is
what we aim to deliver with our unique Signature Treatment.
On entering the 'star twinkling'
studio you will be invited to take the strain out of sore and tired feet
with a gentle foot spa followed by moisturising treatment. You
will be invited to close your eyes, practise birth breathing techniques
as your feet are soothed and feel the power of our 'birthing
affirmations' as you day dream about your fantastic birth.
Next we prepare you for your
massage with a 'five step' gentle yoga stretch which you can use daily
and take inspiration from for your birth.
We then invite you to enjoy a
full body massage (tummy) down with or without Vibro Acoustics wafting
through your cushion laden bed, assisting skin tone, immunity and
digestion whilst relaxing tired muscles and boosting your feel good
hormones. This massage will include 'no hands' movements, chakra
work, shiatsu descent points and reflexology. We can also include
tips on massage for labour.
You will then be gently laid in
the best position for 'foetal positioning' to enjoy a hopi inspired
cleaning and relaxing candling session with indian head movements.
Please allow 2 hours for this
treatment

Following research into Baby
Blues and PND, we recently found an interesting quote from an Indian
Health worker, now living in the UK, who talks of the 'lying in' period
mothers receive in her home country following the birth of their
babies. This not only gives them time to physically recovery but to
come to terms emotionally with their changing role.
Indian mid wives visit the
'lying in' mother for 40 days following the baby's birth, to deliver
massage to both her and the baby. This is renowned for boosting mum's
self esteem, assisting bonding and of course providing all the obvious
physical advantages of massage (such as improved circulation, boosted
immunity, better digestion, etc.). Whilst we can't quite offer 40 days,
Lazy Daisy is launching a bespoke 4 day (once a wk over 4wks) and/or 8
day (twice a wk over 4wks or once a wk over 8wks) 'At Home' massage
service which mums can enjoy after the birth of their baby.
Mums can enjoy either an Indian
Head massage or full body massage and then a private ‘one to one’ baby
massage tuition session. Motherhood 'affirmations' can be played as an
alternative to music throughout the treatments, if mum requires!
