There are many benefits to having regular massage during pregnancy. It can help many minor ailments experienced during pregnancy such achy hips, backache and heavy sore legs due to fluid retention.

Wendy has specialty training in the field of massage and aromatherapy during pregnancy, beyond her nursing expertise so you and your baby are in safe hands.
Aromatherapy and Pregnancy Massage
Aromatherapy is a very useful, gentle and well-loved therapy during pregnancy. Aromatherapy treatments give support and nourishment to both mother and baby. It can be an extremely effective tool for treating some of the physical and emotional discomforts associated with pregnancy. Aromatherapy can take on many forms during pregnancy, not just the commonly perceived form of essential oils applied during massage, although that definitely has to be a favourite.
Massage treatments are suitable throughout pregnancy and aromatherapy treatments can start in the second trimester. Wendy prefers not to use essential oils during the first trimester apart from the treatment of morning sickness. A lot is changing in a womans body during the first trimester and this is when all the intricate and delicate growth and development of the foetus is happening. Wendy prefers not to Introduce essential oils too early as they are medicines and should not be used lightly during pregnancy. Aromatherapy is of huge benefit from the second trimester onwards and can help to soothe the extra strains placed upon a woman’s body during pregnancy, strengthening the body, reducing stretch marks and fluid retention and easing the increasing aches and pains as bubby gets bigger.

| Pregnancy and Aromatherapy |
| It is important to seek the advise of a qualified aromatherapist when wishing to use essential oils during pregnancy, as there are several oils that are unsuitable. For most women aromatherapy can be used safely and effectively throughout the entire pregnancy. However, if you are at any risk of miscarriage or serious complications with your pregnancy, you should be especially careful, and your aromatherapist may ask you to check with your midwife or doctor before treatment. |
