Postnatal Healing: Restorative Treatments for Life After Birth

Postnatal massage is a gentle, restorative way to support your recovery after birth. Whether you’vPostnatal massage is a gentle, restorative way to support your recovery after birth. Whatever your birth experience, massage can help ease muscle tension from feeding and carrying, support hormonal balance, and offer you valuable time to rest and reset.

It can also help to:

• Relieve back, neck, and shoulder discomfort
• Encourage deeper relaxation and better sleep
• Improve circulation and reduce swelling
• Gently support emotional wellbeing during the early weeks of motherhood

Many new mums describe postnatal massage as the first time they have truly felt like themselves again. It is a chance to be cared for, supported, and nurtured while you care for others.

You’re welcome to book a treatment whenever you feel ready.

Some women choose postnatal massage within the first few weeks after birth, while others prefer to wait until they have settled into a new routine. Every body and every birth is different, and your treatment will always be adapted to meet you where you are.

If you have had a caesarean birth, I generally recommend waiting until your scar has begun to heal, usually from around six weeks onwards, and it is best to check with your midwife or GP before booking. That said, there is almost always a way to offer nurturing, supportive touch, even if certain areas need to be avoided.

Massage and reflexology can be gently adapted to support recovery, and when appropriate I also offer scar massage techniques. These may help to soften tight tissue, improve sensation and mobility, release abdominal tension, and support emotional healing and reconnection with your body.

Whether your birth was straightforward or complex, each session is tailored to your comfort, needs, and pace. You will be listened to, supported, and gently nurtured throughout.

Yes, of course. I understand how difficult it can be to arrange childcare, especially in those early months, so your baby is very welcome to come along.

Many parents bring their baby in a car seat or pram, and if you need to pause the session to feed or cuddle, that is absolutely fine. I allow extra time for postnatal treatments so you will never feel rushed.

Absolutely. Postnatal massage and reflexology are designed to support your body’s recovery and the physical and emotional demands of motherhood, whatever your birth experience.

Whether you are experiencing neck and shoulder tension, lower back pain, fatigue, or feeling overwhelmed, I will tailor your treatment to your individual needs. I also offer scar massage, which can be particularly supportive following a caesarean birth, as well as treatments to help support recovery from diastasis recti and restore core connection.

My aim is always to help you feel rested, supported, and more like yourself again.
