Why Book a Session?
During the nine months of pregnancy, the human body goes through many changes to accommodate the baby and to prepare the body for labour. These changes can make the woman uncomfortable, whether it is lower back pain from the weight of the baby, sickness from hormone surges, or pelvic pain perhaps from relaxed ligaments. Women may also worry about what may (or may not) happen in the coming months, during labour, or once the baby is born.
Massage during pregnancy can help alleviate physical, physiological and spiritual stress leading to a more pain free, positive, happy, and healthy pregnancy.
I recommend that sessions take place in your home as this is where the oxytocin will flow most freely, ensuring you get the best from the treatment.
One of the added benefits of booking your massage through Winchester Pregnancy Massage is that you can add on beauty treatments to make you sparkle inside and out! Check out the lucybeauty tab at the top of this page.

Is it safe?
I am a certified Pregnancy Massage Therapist, who studied at one of the leading schools in the country. Well Mother teaches its students how to treat clients in every trimester, even the first. We study for six months on many pregnant case studies so we are constantly hands-on. We moderate our movements based on your stage of pregnancy and how you are feeling on the day.
Massage is one of the best things you can give your body especially when that body is changing so much from a musculoskeletal perspective. A session will help you tune in to your pregnancy, relieve tension areas, and relax the body.
According to research, massage during a pregnancy has many positive effects, one being a shorter labour!

Booking
One of the best things about booking with Winchester Pregnancy Massage is that we come to you.
We treat you in your own home as this is where you are most relaxed. It also means we can carry out a sleep assessment which is vital in alleviating some of the aches and pains of pregnancy.
We use Songbird Wax during the treatment. This product originates from New Zealand where it was developed as an alternative to oils and lotions primarily as a non-spill, 100% natural beeswax-based massage medium. I offer a choice of different scented waxes or you can choose the unscented beeswax if you prefer.
Due to the COVID pandemic, I have made the following changes to my working practices in line with the Government COVID guidelines.
- I will wear a face mask throughout and please can you wear one too
- I will need access to a hand basin, some soap, and a fresh towel please
- I will need to have a window open in the room where the treatment takes place (this is usually the bedroom in most antenatal appointments).
These measures will keep us both safe during your treatment, and help stop the spread of infection.
