SHIATSU DURING PREGNANCY

Shiatsu is a wonderful treatment for the mother-to-be, helping to relieve the symptoms of morning sickness and the muscular pain or discomfort caused by growth and hormonal changes. The treatment is adapted specifically to the mother's needs and special cushions are used to ensure absolute comfort and support.

Shiatsu is ideal during any stage of pregnancy, from the first trimester through to the birth itself. It can even be an effective natural aid to bring on an overdue birth.


Shiatsu by its very essence enables people to be more connected with their own energy and during pregnancy with the energy of their baby, in a very direct way. In this sense it can be one of the most powerful therapies for women and their partners at this time.

Postnatal Shiatsu

Shiatsu offers wonderfully relaxing and nurturing postnatal treatments as well as much needed moments of tranquillity in the manic period that often follow a birth.

Changes in the body after giving birth are as dramatic as during the pregnancy itself and it is important to take time out of our busy lifestyles to replenish the body and calm the mind.

THE BENEFITS OF POSTNATAL SHIATSU :

*Relaxation and calm

*Better circulation (helps muscle tone recovery)

*Increased lynphatic flow (this can help with mastitis and milk flow)

*Relief from muscle aches and pains

*Promotes general well being

*A vital period of peace and quiet.

In the early months, if it is not possible to find someone to mind the baby, it is fine to have the baby with you or nearby and to pause the session while you feed, cuddle or change the nappy.
