Pregnancy Massage 
Pregnancy massage is based on the same principles as holistic massage.
The treatment is tailored to your individual requirements.

Pregnancy massage can be enjoyed from the first through to last trimester, assuming there are no known reasons not to.  It may be necessary to liaise with your health care professional. In addition to your personal details, health history and lifestyle, more specific information regarding your pregnancy is required. This information is requested with sensitivity and  respect in order to provide you with the best treatment possible. All personal information is securely stored.

Gilliana uses Moogwax which is a cruelty free, ethical and sustainable product made in Scotland. 

Suggested appointment times are 60 to 90 minutes (90 particularly in 2nd to 3rd trimester pregnancy)  

Please note that the appointment time includes a few minutes to have a chat and get on and off the table. Please arrive 5 minutes early to fill in your consultation form, thank you.

Maria Shlumukova - Pregancy Shiatsu
Maria believes that relaxation is essential for the treatment to be successful. She uses either floor-level futon or a massage table, depending on what's easiest for you, and often use the body cushion support system, which allows your spine to remain in a comfortable neutral position throughout the session. 

Maria enjoys using Shiatsu to benefit pregnant women and those with young babies, providing a comfortable and nourishing treatment for the mother, easing the aches and strains that come with parenting. I offer a £10 discount for all those who are either expecting or have had their child within the last 12 months (that goes for dads too!).
