Massage is a great way to deal with your body's changes pre & post pregnancy. Each stage presents different challenges which are addressed & customized to your specific needs. After the first trimester your massage is in a side-lying or semi-reclined position for the ultimate safety & health for you & your baby. Due to extra weight and a shift in the centre of gravity, Swedish & Remedial Massage techniques can assist with the tensions & pains experienced during pregnancy.
