COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES

essential oils and lavender aromatherapy for pregnancy and childbirth

AROMATHERAPY OIL BLENDS £20

Holistic Aromatherapy is a powerful tool.  If labour is not progressing easily, instead of stimulating change physically with drug intervention,  essential oils have the potential to change a mood into a calm safe space for mothers (and all present).

Aromatherapy can work wonders in the birth room, triggering or supporting active and effective labour. 

You can use essential oils in many ways; sniff directly from the bottle, on a tissue tucked into a strap, as a blend for massage, in candle form or diffused as a steam inhalation.

I will provide a blend made specifically for you in my Wellness Package.

PREGNANCY MASSAGE £60

A massage with essential oils starts working its magic immediately. The first smell will trigger a change in the way we feel.  In labour this can help reduce fear, support relaxation and calm. If the skin is warm and damp it takes a shorter time for the oils to be absorbed into the skin.

acupressure to the foot can hep in pregnancy and labour

ACUPRESSURE £60

Acupressure draws upon the same principles as acupuncture, but uses firm  pressure from the hands instead of needles. 

  Acupressure can be used to stimulate contractions, helping to induce labour in cases of post maturity and actively reduce the level of medical intervention.
