Bodywork
during Pregnancy and Postpartum

 
 

Pregnancy Osteopathy

Pregnancy brings about significant changes in your body, many of which can result in discomfort or pain.

Osteopathic treatment can help address pregnancy-related musculoskeletal issues, such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and postural changes. By focusing on gentle techniques, osteopathy can help alleviate discomfort and improve your overall well-being during pregnancy.

Osteopathic care during pregnancy aims to:
‣ Support the body as it undergoes physiological changes
‣ Help relieve common pregnancy-related discomforts, including back pain, pelvic pain, and general aches.
‣ Provide relief from muscle tension and improve circulation.
‣ Promote relaxation and reduce stress, which can be beneficial for both mother and baby.

I use a combination of osteopathic treatment, therapeutic massage and Rebozo. These treatments are designed to support your body through the physical and emotional demands of pregnancy.


 
 

Please note that these therapies are considered complementary to regular antenatal care.


 

Postpartum Bodywork

Your precious body goes has gone through a lot! Conception is often a journey in itself, and during pregnancy and childbirth the body undergoes numerous changes and challenges; physically, mentally and spiritually. The postpartum period is a crucial time for recovery and healing. Postpartum osteopathic treatment can help your body adapt to the change from heavily pregnant to not pregnant and find balance again.

In my postpartum bodywork, I help your body adapt, recover, and heal from pregnancy and birth as well as adapt to the strains of caring for your newborn.

My intention is to provide deep nurturing and nourishment to you so you can continue nurturing and nourishing your precious baby.
I also want to hold a deep respect for the transformative nature of the season you’re in, and acknowledgement to you and your body for all it does and has gone through.

Practicalities
I provide postpartum bodywork sessions in the comfort of your own home, with or without your baby close to you. We can interrupt any time for feeds, comforting your baby, or nappy changes.
