Third trimester, gently handled
Pregnancy Massage
A gentle, thoroughly supported treatment for the third trimester — because pregnancy asks a lot of your body.
Overview
You'll be positioned safely and comfortably with plenty of pillows and bolsters, usually side-lying, so you can genuinely relax through the treatment.
Focus areas include lower back, hips, shoulders and legs — where most mums-to-be carry tension through the third trimester.
We use pregnancy-safe oils and pressure, and always check in with you throughout. Available only from the third trimester onwards, and only with GP clearance.

Benefits for your baby
Many of the benefits for you are shared with your baby.
Better circulation brings well-oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood to support your baby's growth and development
A relaxed, calm mother passes fewer stress hormones, such as cortisol, on to her baby
Touch during pregnancy is thought to help build early bonding between parent and baby
Research using 4D ultrasound has found babies respond to touch on the bump with more movement, especially in the third trimester, and settle when they hear their mother's voice
