COMMON QUESTIONS
FAQs
When can I start pregnancy massage?
This treatment is available from the second trimester, from 14 weeks of pregnancy. It is not offered during the first trimester. If you are unsure whether you are eligible to book at your current stage, please get in touch before booking.
Is it safe throughout the whole of pregnancy?
Yes. The treatment is adapted to each stage of pregnancy from the second trimester onwards, with positioning and techniques adjusted accordingly. Your comfort and safety, and that of your baby, are the priority in every session.
Do I need a GP referral or midwife approval?
No referral is required. However, if you have a high-risk pregnancy or any specific medical concerns, it is recommended that you speak with your midwife or GP before booking. The consultation form will capture any relevant health information ahead of your session.
Can I book postnatal massage?
Yes. This treatment extends into the postnatal period to support your body's recovery after birth. Please note any relevant details about your birth experience and recovery in your consultation form so the session can be appropriately adapted.
How often should I book during pregnancy?
Many clients find monthly sessions helpful during the second trimester, moving to fortnightly in the third trimester as discomfort increases. Frequency is always a personal decision and recommendations will be made based on your individual situation.
