Pregnancy Massage From 39+ weeks...
“Full Bloom" ~ an honoring of the mother's journey, specifically created for those from 39+ weeks. This nurturing massage honors the natural rhythm of childbirth, trusting that every baby arrives at the perfect moment. While it’s not an induction massage, I use a specially formulated "Birth" oil and incorporate bush flower essences to support you during this sacred time, helping you prepare emotionally and energetically for labour and birth.
To begin your session, I’ll hold space for you to safely explore your feelings about birth and motherhood while you enjoy a herbal-infused foot soak and soothing pregnancy tea. You’ll then be gently nurtured with loving bodywork and intuitive healing that calms your mind and relaxes your body.
To deepen this nurturing experience, I offer a guided meditation, creating a grounding space where you can fully embrace the transformative power of birth. This time is meant to connect you with the profound wisdom of your body and to trust in your intuition as you prepare for the beautiful transition from maiden to mother.
Bookings limited.
Please allow for 2 hours for this offering.
