"The In Bloom Pregnancy Massage Package helped me to commit to some really valuable ‘me’ time (which I appreciate all the more, having now had my baby!), and it was fantastic to just stop and relax completely for that hour at each visit. I found that at different stages of my pregnancy, the massage helped in different ways – the earlier sessions were more about relieving general stress and tiredness, but later on, it was good to focus on particular trouble spots such as lower back pain. Plus the stretches and exercises that you suggested helped to prolong the benefits of the massage once I got home. I’ve recommended it to loads of people, and had a lot of people recommend it to me. Oh, and the pack of aromatherapy goodies was fantastic too…"

"The beautiful one-hour post natal massage I had from Jo a week after Noah was born really helped during that tough first couple of weeks. Jo not only has magic hands, she has a wonderfully calming presence, and the massage left me feeling far better, both physically
and emotionally. See you again soon!" Kylie Smith - Mum of baby Noah.







Hi Sam, I just wanted to write and reiterate what an AMAZING experience my massage yesterday was. I am still on cloud 9 and honestly wish I could now afford to have a massage a week. Your down to earth & friendly personality combined with your magic hands made my birthday treat a very special one. I have raved to everyone I know about how amazing it was and I can't wait to be spoilt again... dropping hints left, right and centre! Wishing you a fabulous Christmas and hope to see you again soon. Best wishes & many thanks. Vanessa Rehm

BEA_0009_1.jpgMassage helps keep you and your baby in optimum health during pregnancy.

Receiving massage treatments throughout your pregnancy is a wonderful way to nurture your own body as well as your baby within. As well as exercise and a nutritious diet, regular massage helps to keep you in optimum health, easing tension, reducing stress and preventing back pain, muscle aches and other common pregnancy discomforts including headaches and constipation. Receiving pregnancy massage also gives you the time and space to deeply relax and enjoy time with your baby.

Six important benefits of pregnancy massage include:

Enhances the health of you and your baby

Massage treatments have been proven to benefit all of your body's systems including muscular, circulatory, digestive and hormonal.  Improved circulation brings more oxygen and nutrients to the cells in your body and also that of your baby - nourishing the both of you.

Eases pregnancy discomforts

Massage can soothe back and shoulder pain, pubic discomfort, sciatica, cramps, sore hips and aching legs.

Reduces swelling

Eases oedema in the legs, feet, hands and wrists.  Soothes the discomfort of varicose veins and achy joints.  Reduction in swelling, fluid retention and waste products also helps to improve your energy levels, making you feel less fatigued.

Increased relaxation and decreased stress levels

Pregnancy is a time of great change and this, along with fluctuating hormones and broken sleep can sometimes cause stress levels to rise.   This is ok as long as the stress is also balanced with time to relax and be nurtured.   Regular massage give you the space to deeply relax and rejuvenate and the time to enjoy your pregnancy and transition into motherhood.   Relaxed mama = happy baby!

Improves sleep and reduces depression

With an enhanced ability to deeply relax you may also notice that your sleep improves.   At Bella Mama we can also teach you the most comfortable and supportive sleeping positions during pregnancy.  Massage has also been documented to reduce the symptoms of depression in pregnant and post-natal women.

Prepares you for labour and birth

Approaching your baby's birth day, massage treatments will improve your flexibility and energy levels as well as helping you to develop mind/body awareness. This means that  you  become aware of where you are holding tension within your body and are able to consciously release it.  A essential skill in the birthing room.   A recent study also showed that massage from 36 weeks onward helped to increase the mothers levels of oxytocin (the mothering hormone) resulting in labours that were quicker with fewer complications both before and after birth.  Ask about our 'birth preparation ' massage treatments which include a special essential oil blend and acupressure points.
