Mum 2 Be
Full Body Massage:- Whether it’s a treat for yourself or a loved one my Pre-Natal and Post-Natal massage can be great value. I use Neal’s Yard Covent Garden Mother Massage oil which has been specifically designed for expecting mothers. A nourishing massage oil for new mothers and all mothers-to-be.
This nourishing oil with organic soya and almond helps to tone the skin and prevent stretch marks. Combined with essential oils chosen for both their beneficial properties on the skin as well as their gentle aroma therapeutic benefits on the mind, creating a confident sense of calm and well being.
Studies show that women who receive regular massages have fewer complications during their pregnancy and labour and that their babies are more settled and content, suffering fewer baby ailments. Although pregnancy is a wonderful time, many changes take place in the mother’s body as the baby develops. This can put strain and pressure on the joints, ligaments and organs causing some pain and discomfort which massage can help alleviate. In addition research also shows that the baby can greatly benefit from massage as endorphins (feel good chemicals) are released by the mother during massage that are passed onto the baby. The treatment will be carried out in a side-lying position when working on the back and neck, working one side at a time, with a short face and head massage to finish off leaving you feeling very calm and relaxed.
During your initial consultation we will discuss your pregnancy and if you are suffering with any symptoms or ailments. If you are classed as ‘low risk’ the massage can commence without any prior consent from your GP/Midwife. If you are a ‘high risk’ pregnancy, then I can issue you with a letter to give to your midwife asking them to advise if there is anything that I would need to be made aware of prior to your treatment commencing. This is general practice to ensure expecting mothers get the best possible treatment.

Sports and Remedial Massage tailored to your specific needs:- Sports & Remedial massage isn’t just for athletes. Sports massage techniques are suitable for both sports people and non-athletes alike and can help with injuries, chronic pain, muscle aches and restricted range of motion in all of us! It can help be an effective therapy for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the musculo-skeletal system, optimising flexibility, and maintaining a healthier physical state. The treatment can also help relieve many day to day problems such as repetitive strain injury, sprains, work related tension and fatigue. Nearly all of us must have stood up after a long stint at a desk or sitting in one position and felt the need to stretch arms, legs or backs – it is this natural desire of the body to have its tissues in a flexible state that a regular massage can help with.

- Acute and chronic lower back pain and sciatica

Peak Performance
Sports Massage tailored to your needs:- Massage helps athletes and sports persons alike to maintain overall muscle health by identifying areas of tension and addressing them before an injury occurs. Massage increases tissue flexibility and muscle relaxation, improves range of motion, relieves trigger points, as well as reduces adhesions. Combined, these benefits of massage help the athlete remain active, optimize his or her training, and maximize performance.
For those athletes and sports people out there, a sports specific massage can be beneficial at various stages of participation:
- The conditioning / training phase
- Pre and post competition
- Post travel
- To aid both injury prevention and recovery
A constant build-up of tension in the muscles from regular activity may lead to stresses on joints, ligaments and tendons. This overuse can often create problems and imbalances in the soft tissues and if ignored, can lead to chronic long terms injuries which may affect improvement and performance.

Myofascial Cupping
Myofascial Cupping (MC) is a unique treatment that uses suction to lift tissue as the cup is moved to decompress underlying tissue. The cups come in various sizes depending on the treatment area needed.
How Myofascial Cupping Works
It creates a negative (tension) pressure which:
- Passively stretches tissue resulting in increased ROM
- Increases blood supply/heat to area treated
- Increases fluid movement which assists in recovery (i.e. decreased oedema)
- Increases nutrient-rich blood supply to injured area
Conditions that respond to Myofascial Cupping Therapy:
- Poor Circulation
- Sciatica
- ITB Syndrome
- Low back pain
- TMJ Dysfunction
- Chronic Pain
- Arthritis
- Muscular Aches
- Neuralgia
- Trigger points
- Carpal Tunnel Migraine, Tension Headaches, & Sinusitis
- Pre- & Post-Operative Conditions
- Athletic Stress & Injury
- Bursitis/Tendonitis
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Scoliosis
