Experiencing sleep deprivation, back ache, exhaustion or mood swings? Quite possibly, all of these.

Pregnancy and birthing are one of the most beautiful stages in a woman’s life. It’s an incredibly powerful and transformational rite of passage, however it can be truly exhausting and stressful at times! During these stages, expecting mothers & nursing mamas need vital care. Self-care is essential however this easily falls short with the demands of looking after baby and siblings too. We tend to have to book in an appointment to create space just for ourselves and receive deep holistic care.

A beautifully nourishing and safe therapy, Ayurvedic Pregnancy Massage with Marma point pressure has numerous benefits to the physiological, mental, emotional and spiritual state of mothers.

This is the PERFECT gift to give a mama to be or for nursing mothers. Gift vouchers are available.

Abhyanga massage is very unique in that the technique and specific herbs in the Vata massage oil used for pregnant and nursing mothers specifically assists to calm, nourish and regulate the nervous system. Furthermore, the oil is always warm-hot to enhance absorption into the skin and deep tissues.

This traditional ayurvedic massage helps to:

  • Induce deep relaxation, regulating the nervous system to reduce stress & anxiety

  • Improve blood circulation providing vital nourishment and oxygenated blood to the baby

  • Ease muscle pain and cramps

  • Control and maintains hormonal changes

  • Stimulate the lymph to move & flush out toxins thus energising all the body systems through at the cellular level

  • promote deeper sleep

  • Energise and feel replenished, empowered and rejuvenated

  • Drop in to connect with one’s deeper self, owing to the gentle pressure on Marma points, energetic junctions in the body

Abhyanga massage should be avoided:

  1. In the presence of fever

  2. During one’s menstrual cycle; however a gentle abhyanga massage is ok as the body is already cleansing and in a lower energy state. Please advise.

  3. Over infected and broken skin
