Pregnancy brings many changes: physically, psychologically and socially. Nurturing care during pregnancy, birth and as a new mum provides benefits for mum and baby. 

Aromatherapy can be combined with massage to support the changing body during pregnancy, and may help to ease many discomforts such as:

• Muscular tension, backache and pelvic pain

• Swelling, carpal tunnel, leg cramps

• Nausea and heartburn

• Insomnia, depression & anxiety

One study done by The Touch Research Institute showed a reduction in anxiety, stress hormones and obstetrical complications in women who received regular massage during their pregnancies. *

Aromatherapy and massage are also valuable to prepare for and use during childbirth. Fear, anxiety and stress can have a negative impact on the commencement and progress of labour. Odour has a direct pathway to the area of the brain that governs fear and research shows the use of positive aromas can help to reduce pain perception.

Longer appointment times are preferred during pregnancy to allow for consultation and a personalised nurturing treatment supportive of the many changes during this time. Sonya uses a combination of essential oils and massage specific to your needs.

Birth preparation/ “induction” treatments: if you have not had a prior treatment with Sonya during your pregnancy a 90 min appointment time is preferable.

Equally important is massage to nurture new mothers as they recover from birth and adjust to the demands of motherhood. Aromatherapy massage can provide support for new mums in the following ways:

• Support recovery from labour and birth

• Relief from muscular tension, often associated with birth or breastfeeding posture

• Ease other discomforts such as digestive issues, poor sleep, fatigue

• Alleviate feelings of anxiety, depression, low confidence

Each stage of our children’s lives brings new challenges as parents. Especially significant for parents is the saying “fill your own cup first so you can give to others”. 

Sonya provides nurturing treatments specific to your needs at any stage in your parenting journey.
