Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is often seen as just a way to relax with lovely smells — but it has the power to do so much more.  Essential oils can help ease a range of common pregnancy symptoms, like nausea, anxiety, trouble sleeping, and even physical discomforts such as carpal tunnel syndrome, backache, and swollen feet. 

 

As a midwife, I use aromatherapy in a way that’s both evidence-based and as clinical therapy . Treatments might include gentle massage, soothing footbaths, or warm or cool compresses — depending on what’s most appropriate for you and the symptoms you’re experiencing. Each session is tailored to your needs on the day, whether that’s easing physical discomfort, helping you relax, or supporting emotional wellbeing. The essential oils are carefully selected for both their safety in pregnancy and their specific effects, making sure the treatment is both effective and appropriate for the stage of pregnancy you're in.

Reflex Zone Therapy

Reflex Zone Therapy (a branch of reflexology) is a hands-on treatment that works through specific points on the feet that correspond to different organs and systems in the body. It’s designed to support the physical and emotional shifts that come with pregnancy, birth, and recovery.

Rather than simply relaxing, this approach applies intentional pressure to stimulate the body’s natural ability to rebalance, release tension, and respond to challenges such as discomfort, hormonal changes, and fatigue.

Whether you're preparing for labour, managing common pregnancy symptoms, or recovering postnatally, reflex zone therapy offers focused, restorative support tailored to your needs.

Massage and Acupressure

Massage is a powerful way to reconnect with your body, ease physical tension, and create space for rest — especially during pregnancy and the postpartum period. My massage treatments are tailored to your stage and symptoms, whether you're looking to soothe tired muscles, reduce swelling, or simply take a deep breath and let go.

Using flowing techniques and deeper work where needed, each session supports circulation, calms the nervous system, and helps relieve common discomforts like back pain, hip tension, and fatigue. For postnatal clients, massage can also support healing, emotional release, and reconnection after birth. This is your time to feel held, grounded, and restored — whatever stage you're in.

Acupressure works by applying gentle, sustained pressure to specific points on the body that are linked to energy flow and internal balance. Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, this technique can help shift stagnation, ease symptoms, and encourage the body into a more harmonious state.
