Don’t wait till your last trimester to experience the benefits of massage during your pregnancy.

In my previous blog I talked about making you feel comfortable for a pregnancy massage, here I explain what the benefits are of a pregnancy massage for you and your baby!

The effects of massage are accumulative so by finding a practitioner early on in your pregnancy you can also have the added benefit of building a rapport with your therapist who can  then help you through each stage of your magical pregnancy  journey. I offer evening appointments so you could always come after work in your first and second trimesters.

Why Menopause is not fully understood goes back partly to education, only since the start of the academic year 2020 was the subject of Menopause added to the school curriculum.

Menopause is a natural occurrence for all women, just as puberty is a natural process for all of us! Knowing what is happening to you is vital for your journey through Menopause, it’s not something to be fixed!

There are so many useful sites, Instagram accounts, Facebook pages, that didn’t exist a few years back, where women are sharing their stories and learning why the changes are occurring and what they can to do to support themselves. Understanding something gives you power and control!
