The Benefits of Massage during pregnancy

Regular massage during a pregnancy can benefit Mothers, as well as their unborn baby, and supports the Mother emotionally and physiologically - and the endorphins it brings to the Mother are passed to baby as well. It can help childbirth to be easier, as well as having benefits for postpartum recovery.

​

Some of the benefits of regular massage during pregnancy are:

​

1. Stimulation of the blood circulation: bringing nutrients and fluids to the organs of the body, and to the baby.

2. Lymphatic drainage: detoxification, eliminating toxins and waste, and reducing oedema (swelling).

3. Promoting healthy digestion;

4. Releasing muscular tension and compression,

5. Helping avoid varicose veins;

6. Inducing deep relaxation and reducing emotional stress;

7. Helping maintain a healthy, balanced blood pressure.

​

Massage also encourages the release of oxytocin, which is a pain reducing hormone - providing pain relief during labour and childbirth.

"With the end of my second trimester in a couple of weeks, I wanted to get myself third trimester ready with the summer time bliss package* with Ema - it sounded amazing!  It started with a massage which was wonderful and got rid of so much tension, it was tailored to exactly what I needed according to symptoms, pains etc. The reiki going into the guided meditation was lovely and I’ve never felt so relaxed during a treatment. I highly recommend this treatment to anyone who is needing that extra self care and connection in pregnancy. Thank you, Ema."
