Experiencing sleep deprivation, back ache, exhaustion or mood swings? Quite possibly, all of these.
Pregnancy and birthing are one of the most beautiful stages in a woman’s life. It’s an incredibly powerful and transformational rite of passage, however it can be truly exhausting and stressful at times! During these stages, expecting mothers & nursing mamas need vital care. Self-care is essential however this easily falls short with the demands of looking after baby and siblings too. We tend to have to book in an appointment to create space just for ourselves and receive deep holistic care.
A beautifully nourishing and safe therapy, Ayurvedic Pregnancy Massage with Marma point pressure has numerous benefits to the physiological, mental, emotional and spiritual state of mothers.
This is the PERFECT gift to give a mama to be or for nursing mothers. Gift vouchers are available.
