  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!
