Ayurvedic Prenatal/Postnatal Massage

Service Description

** this home retreat massage option is offered only if you are in your third trimester of pregnancy or your within your first 3 months postpartum ** Receive a nourishing Ayurvedic massage in the comfort of your own home. Lots of warm oil and wonderful rhythmic strokes to soothe your body and mind during your late pregnancy or early postpartum time. The repetitiveness of the strokes helps relaxing the nervous system and the mind; the application of warm sesame oil is soothing and nourishing for the skin, as well as for the joints and muscles and keeps them supple. Take time to rest/sleep afterwards and feel deeply nourished and rejuvenated by it! You can receive this massage all the up to the end of your pregnancy and as soon as you are ready after birth, even the day after, whether you had a vaginal birth or belly birth. I am also experienced in scar massage and I can teach you how to massage and take care of your belly birth scar, from week 7-8 postpartum. During your postpartum massage, your baby/babies is/are welcome to join in if they need to be fed or just be next to you, but I suggest to arrange for some kind of in-home support when you book your massage, so that you can benefit more form the session if your baby is not with you. After the massage, I’ll leave you to rest for as long as you like and this is the real benefits of receiving a massage at home :) Please note: the massage will be performed on the floor on a comfortable surface (like a futon mat or spare mattress) of your choice. You will provide your own mat/mattress, towels (4), blanket (1-2), cushions (2-3), and an old sheet to cover your mattress/mat. It's important that the room you choose is warm. You can choose the option of a 2hr session to include a longer massage and a nourishing home made Ayurvedic treat for £135. Please email me to double check availability. ** When booking please specify if you are having a prenatal or postnatal massage and how many weeks pregnant or postnatal you are ** There might be an extra fee to cover travel costs if you live beyond 10 miles round trip radius from my home in Bristol. Feel free to message me before booking.
