Pregnancy is a time that more than ever, you need nourishment. As your body slowly gets taken over by your new bundle of joy – the need to up-level your self care game is crucial.
​
As you enter your second trimester your growing belly may start to put pressure on your spine, and you will likely start sitting and sleeping (even walking) in slightly different positions than normal as you start to show, this can cause aches and pains in the back, neck and shoulders and put unwanted pressure on your spine.
Fluid retention can be an issue and you may notice swelling and / or cramps begin in your legs ankles or feet. Sleep is often affected and anxiety can also creep in - which is completely normal.
​
During your pregnancy the focus of the Pregnancy Care Massage Package is to get the mummy to be in a good place to really relish in her pregnancy as much as possible, welcome any changes and bond with her growing baby. This is a unique package that will not only help keep you relaxed and nourished throughout your pregnancy through regular massage, but will also give you Hypnobirthing knowledge and tools for your birth and some post natal care once baby is born. Mum's can often feel a little "out on their own" once baby arrives, especially when their partner if present goes back to work. The Pregnancy Care Massage Package recognises this stage as also crucial to mum's well-being, so a post birth massage (once safe) and home visit from a post natal doula and reflexologist is also included to ensure all the needs of the mum's well-being are met and taken into gentle consideration to ensure she feels supported.

What are the benefits of pregnancy massage?
If you have been, or are pregnant – you will know that pregnancy is a time when you can sometimes feel a little out of your body. As need feeling and sensations can happen consistently throughout the pregnancy, its key to flow with these changes and adapt your habit to suit them. My key goal, is to ensure you enjoy your pregnancy as much as possible and feel relaxed and supported. Pregnancy massage has been shown to reduce the production of stress hormones and promote the production of our happy hormones, making any pregnancy anxieties that can occur more able to deal with. The more relaxed you feel in your body, the increased bonding you should feel with your baby.
​
As your body stretches and your baby grows, you may feel extra pressure on your back – particularly in the lumbar region. Focus and attention is brought to this area in a gentle and mindful approach to help ease any aches and pains you may be experiencing.
Massage is also beneficial at promoting your lymphatic system by increasing blood flow, to help release toxins through improved circulation and lymph flow. The increased blood flow you will be experiencing may also contribute to swelling or cramps in the lower body, so gentle strokes will be used to help work in alignment with these changes.
How Pregnancy massage is performed.
It’s always a pleasure to help growing mothers-to-be find some time for self care and create space to unwind and decompress. Some clients use their massage time to offload any worries or anxieties they may have about birth or parenting, while others like to switch off in silence.
​
The treatment will usually start with a consultation while you enjoy a nourishing foot soak and drink, we can discuss what you would like to achieve out of your treatment and which areas are feeling tender that you wish to focus on. Back massage is performed whilst laying on your side to avoid pressure on the nerves and you will be given extra cushions to help keep you comfortable. Leg & feet, arm & hand and scalp massage can also be incorporated into treatment in a unique way that is bespoke to what you feel you need at the time. If desired, a nourishing organic body oil can be applied to your growing belly so the skin can soak up plenty of moisture during your treatment to help with any stretch marks. A small sample will be given to you at the end of the treatment to allow you to massage your belly at home. Only safe essential oils and natural soy candles are burned during treatment, and only high quality natural and safe oils are used on the skin.
Why opt for the Massage Package?
Once you book your massage package you can rest assured that you will have priority booking for your treatments and will receive one massage once a month from the second trimester (or these can be taken closer together if booked later in the pregnancy). You will receive a treatment in the week leading up to the birth to ensure you are feeling fully supported and relaxed, and one postpartum once you have received your GP check. You will also receive extra bonuses – not to be missed, this one of a kind unique package also includes Hypnobirthing and a postpartum doula visit. I’ve genuinely not found anything else like this in Norfolk which is why I decided to create one myself, and drew on the things that I myself felt I needed going through my own pregnancies.
You will receive:
​
-
A goodie box filled with nourishing mummy natural treats, tailored to you and to the value of £35.
​
​
-
8 x 70 minute pregnancy massage treatments from me, tailored to you, at my peaceful salon base just outside Norwich in Horsford. One of these treatments will be in the couple of weeks leading up to birth and one will be two months postpartum, to help give you some time out to recharge and soothe those new mummy muscles!

A unique postpartum visit from one of Norfolk's top therapist's – Sarah Groves from Feel Good Therapies. I’ve known Sarah for many years and been on the receiving end of her gorgeously relaxing treatments and also worked with her for many years, she truly knows what news mums need. As a postpartum doula and reflexologist, baby reflexologist and Indian Head Massage Therapist – you will be in safe hands! Sarah offers a unique service where by she will visit you post birth at a time you feel works for you, (this may prove most useful once your partner if you have one goes back to work). Sarah will visit you (often with a nourishing lunch!) and offer a re-balancing treatment to you while shes there and identify anything else you may need help with. This allows to have a much needed mental and physical break from the demand of caring for a newborn, so you can feel revived and refreshed.

A one on one, 4 hour zoom session with the lovely Jen from Love Hypnobirthing. This will be done via zoom from the comfort of your own home and will consist of 2 x 2 hour sessions. Hypnobirthing is a wonderful tool (one that I used myself) that helps you feel relaxed and prepared going into birth. Many women feel anxious about the birth, or have perhaps struggled with a previous difficult birth. Hypnobirthing shows you the relaxation tools, mindset and breathing techniques to help you feel calm, centered and ready to give birth. When you are relaxed, free from tension and fear your uterine muscles can work as nature intended! To learn more about Jen and her Hypnobirthing practice visit https://lovehypnobirthingandmore.co.uk/
Why choose Norwich Massage Company?
Having spent the first half of my career working with some amazing Norfolk therapists at one of Norwich's leading health clinics, I was inspired by some of the amazing therapists and their work and so really wanted to incorporate their expertise and knowledge into this unique pregnancy package.
​
Having gone through two pregnancies - including one very challenging twin pregnancy - I wanted to use that experience to give mum's-to-be an ultimate and simple self care pregnancy plan. There is so much to think about when you are expecting, this lets you sit back and enjoy your pregnancy knowing that you have a course of relaxing treatments booked in to see you through to the forth trimester, and nourish you after the birth too - which is often easy to forget in that newborn haze.
​
Seeing so many pregnant clients in my practice, I am fully aware that most of them them have apprehensions about the birth. I always recommend Hypnobirthing to help clients feel more at ease, and with this package you have a two hour zoom Hypnobirthing session included with one of my favourite Hypnobirthing practitioners, which is another task ticked off your list.
Your investment:
Full cost for this package is £740 giving you a £50 discount.
​
*Special Offer!* If you purchase this package by May 1st 2021 you can get everything for the special launch price of £649!! That's almost £100 off!
