What's included in each session?
A complete full body pregnancy massage covering the back, legs, arms and shoulders. Before your session, your therapist asks about your focus areas and any areas you prefer to avoid, so the treatment is fully personalised to where your body needs it most that day. If you want to spend the full 50 minutes on your back or legs, that is entirely possible.
The full body pregnancy massage with a warm foot bath to open the session. Swollen feet and heavy legs are among the most common complaints during pregnancy, and the foot bath offers immediate relief before your therapist works through the entire body at a calm, unhurried pace. A wonderful choice for when you truly want to be looked after.
Een heerlijke keuze wanneer je jezelf echt wilt laten verzorgen.
A safe and nurturing treatment
Our pregnancy massage is performed with you lying on your side, fully supported by cushions placed carefully around your body for comfort and stability. Our treatment beds do not have a recess for the belly, as side-lying is the safest and most comfortable position throughout pregnancy. Your therapist adjusts your positioning throughout the session to ensure you remain comfortable at all times.
Soft to medium pressure is used throughout the body. For certain areas where firmer pressure is safe during pregnancy, such as the upper back, shoulders and the outer legs, we can apply a little more intensity if you prefer. Certain areas are always avoided during pregnancy massage, including the inner ankles, inner calves, the abdomen and specific acupressure points that are contraindicated during pregnancy. Your therapist is trained in prenatal massage and works carefully within these guidelines at all times.

Drink plenty of water after your treatment. Rest for a few hours if possible and avoid strenuous activity. You may feel pleasantly sleepy, which is completely normal.
