Pregnancy Massage
60 Minute Consultation- £72
During pregnancy, your whole body is adapting and compensating to your growing bump. It is also important that you take time out and relax. Whilst a shorter massage, targeting specific areas is possible during pregnancy, we believe and recommend that a longer full body massage is best.
Pregnancy Massage Taster
30 Minutes- £27
New to the practice? If you’re keen to try it but are not sure whether massage therapy is right for you then our taster session is ideal. Our massage therapist will be able to discuss your needs, do some hands on massage and discuss how massage therapy might benefit you during your pregnancy.
