Pregnancy & Postnatal Massage

Picture
Gilliana Kobiela- Pregnancy & Postnatal Massage
​

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.

The massage may be performed in a semi reclined or, most often, side laying position. 
Plenty of towels, cotton sheets, blankets, pillows and supports  are available to keep you comfortable. 

Work is gentle but firm. If you are used to receiving deep massage, please be aware that Gilliana  performs pregnancy massage in a way that can release tension and ease aches and pains,  but works to a lower pain threshold than you a regular deep tissue massage. This is to avoid stimulating the release of too much adrenaline into the blood stream. Pregnancy massage is firm but gentle massage and can soothe sore muscles while promoting feelings of ease and deep relaxation.

Gilliana recommends a 90 - 120 minute appointment for  pregnancy clients as a deeper sense of relaxation may be gained.

Postnatal massage
This is a lovely and  nurturing massage that provides ongoing emotional and physical support after birth.


Gilliana Kobiela  is a member of the Massage Training Institute and is Fedant accredited in both Pregnancy and Postnatal massage.  

Appointments are available Wednesday - Saturday, from 10am until 4pm.
Alternative hours available on request.  

60 minutes - £50
90 minutes - £70

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!). 

- Shiatsu 60 minutes – £45
- Shiatsu 90 minutes – £55 - perfect if you have two or more "problem areas" that need thorough treatment or just want    really deep relaxing treatment. 
- Shiatsu Pre/Post Natal Concession 60 minutes – £35
- Shiatsu 5 x 60 minutes – £200
- Shiatsu 10 x 60 minutes – £380
