Preconception & Pregnancy Therapies

Specialist, adaptable care for preconception and pregnancy

Whether you are preparing your body for pregnancy or navigating the physical changes of pregnancy itself, my therapies offer thoughtful, individualised support at each stage. Treatments are designed to work with the body rather than override it — supporting physical comfort, nervous system regulation, and overall wellbeing during a time of significant change.

All sessions are tailored to you on the day, with careful attention to positioning, energy levels, and any medical considerations. Care is unhurried, respectful, and grounded in a thorough understanding of the body during fertility treatment and pregnancy.

Reflexology

Reflexology offers a gentle, non-invasive way to support the body during both the preconception period and throughout pregnancy. Treatment involves working specific reflex points on the feet, with the intention of encouraging relaxation, balance and nervous system regulation.

Many clients choose reflexology while trying to conceive — either alongside medical care or independently — as it provides a calm, supportive space during what can be an emotionally demanding time. During pregnancy, reflexology can be particularly helpful when energy is low or when getting a massage feels like too much.

In later pregnancy, some women also choose reflexology while waiting for labour to begin, valuing the opportunity to rest deeply and feel supported during the final weeks. You can read more about this in my blog post and more about TTC and Pregnancy Reflexology on this page.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage is designed to ease the physical strains that develop as the body adapts to carrying a growing baby. Treatments are carefully adapted to each stage of pregnancy, with appropriate positioning, supportive bolstering, and pressure that feels comfortable and safe.

Pregnancy Massage may help to:

  • Reduce back, hip, pelvic and shoulder tension

  • Ease muscular fatigue and postural strain

  • Support relaxation and better sleep

  • Encourage a sense of physical ease and grounding

 

Sessions are unhurried and responsive, allowing space to adjust positioning, pressure, or focus as needed on the day.

Expert, Considered Care

Sessions are thoughtfully adapted for comfort and safety, with treatments typically carried out in a side-lying position (or occasionally seated), using pillows and bolsters to provide full, stable support. Massage tables with “pregnancy holes” or abdominal cut-outs are not used, as these can place unnecessary strain on the pelvic girdle at a time when joints and connective tissues are more vulnerable due to hormonal changes in pregnancy.Sessions are unhurried, and breaks for repositioning or comfort — including restroom visits — are naturally accommodated.

When to Begin Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage can be adapted at any stage; however, many midwives and practitioners recommend waiting until after your 12-week scan. If you have any pregnancy complications, you will be asked to confirm that your midwife or GP is aware you are receiving pregnancy massage before your first session.
