What is Pregnancy Massage?
Pregnancy massage is a specialized therapy tailored to the unique needs of expectant mothers. Using soothing yet effective strokes and targeted techniques, I focus on relieving tension in the back, hips, shoulders, and legs. Unlike basic pregnancy massage, my advanced training allows me to apply deeper pressure where appropriate, helping to ease chronic tension safely. This treatment is performed in a comfortable side-lying position with supportive cushions to ensure maximum relaxation and safety for both you and your baby.

What to Expect During Your Pregnancy Massage
When you book a pregnancy massage in Bristol, I begin with a consultation to understand your specific needs and any pregnancy-related concerns. The massage is tailored to your comfort level, and thanks to my specialist training in deeper pressure techniques, I can safely work on areas of tension more effectively than with a standard light-touch pregnancy massage. My goal is to release tension, improve circulation, and create a sense of calm and balance during this special time.

My advanced training means I can adjust my techniques to ensure you receive the most beneficial treatment possible. I always adapt the treatment to suit your stage of pregnancy, ensuring both safety and effectiveness. If you have any medical conditions or concerns, I recommend consulting with your midwife or GP before booking a session.
