Pregnancy Treats

Pregnancy is a time to really look after yourself - after all, you're doing your best to nurture a new life within you.

As an expectant father I know first hand (well almost!) some of the side effects of what is otherwise a joyous time.

The good news is that complementary therapies can help offset some of the symptoms and problems of pregnancy. Whether it's a calming aromatherapy massage (using carefully selected oils that are safe for use in pregnancy); a Bowen treatment to fix that backache; or a Reiki session to refresh and rebalance - there is help out there!

All of the below treatments can be booked invididually, or you can have a specially designed session encorporating all three.

Bowen

A Bowen treatment is great for easing some of the common ailments asociated with pregnancy such as backache; fluid retention; anxiety; breathlessness; fatigue.

Its gentle moves are quick acting and you can have your treatment sitting, rather than lying down.

See the Bowen section for more details on this therapy.

Reiki

Because the Reiki energy flows automatically to where it is needed, this is great for bringing you all round relaxation and a feeling of well-being.

Not only does it have a calming effect on you, but the gentle energy will also reach your baby - allowing you to share the beautiful feeling of tranquility.

See the Reiki section for more details on this therapy.

Aromatherapy

NB: Some essential oils should be avoided in pregnancy so don't use aromatherapy oils at home without first seeking professional advice.

However, a professional aromatherapy massage can be a wonderful experience in pregnancy.

Together we will select your oils - you will find that you are drawn to the ones that your body needs at that time. I'll then blend these with a quality base oil. This unique blend will then be used in your massage.

Feel your cares drift away and enjoy this indulgent time out for yourself.

Classes

I also run special workshops and courses for mums-to-be. The next one, 'Self Healing for mums-to-be' will be held in Huddersfield on Saturday 15 December 2007. See the course details for more info.
