ONE-OFF SERVICES

PREGNANCY

MASSAGE

​

​Pregnancy relaxation massage​

$70 for 1hr

Gift vouchers available

​

Massage releases feel-good hormones called endorphins and oxytocin. These occur naturally when we feel nurtured and safe and promote confidence, reduce pain and encourage a positive immune system response. This is why some women enjoy massage during the birth process as it acts as a natural pain-relief mechanism.

​

Further benefits of pregnancy massage include:

• releases physical tension held within the body and muscles;
• reduces swelling;
• soothes the nervous system;
• helps prevent insomnia, muscle cramps and back pain.

CELEBRATIONS

​

“A blessingway is a special ceremony designed to acknowledge, honour and celebrate a woman’s journey into motherhood. Different from a baby shower, a blessingway’s main goal is to provide a loving place where an expectant mother can explore the challenges and joys that lie before her as she approaches childbirth and motherhood. Surrounded by the most important women in her life, she will gain a sense of power, confidence and support that will help her before, during and after the birth of her child.”

​

From Mother Rising: The blessingway journey into motherhood, Yana Cortlund, Barb Lucke, and Donna Miller Watelet,  Seeing Stone Press, 2006, p. 19.

​​

I can help you in any way you need to create a special day – from organising the invitations and planning, to facilitating and helping on the day.

Childbirth education and birth planning session

Childbirth education and birth preparation is designed to educate couples around the emotional and physiological stages of birth and what to expect.

​

Topics can include:
• stages of labour;

​

Birth plans and preferences are a great way of exploring your desired goals and outcomes for birth. Creating your birth plan with your partner and support team ensures everyone is informed of your needs.

​Birth Hypnosis, deep relaxation and meditation for birth and beyond

$75 per session (4 sessions recommended)

Gift vouchers available

​

Birth hypnosis is a gentle process that uses a combination of breath work and relaxation techniques to initiate a deep state of relaxation. This state of relaxation then enables a woman to access, utilise and trust her instinctual birthing abilitities.

 

Further benefits of birth hypnosis include:

• releases physical tension held within the body and muscles;
• allows partners to connect and be an active part of the process;
• soothes the nervous system;

• has many ongoing health benefits during pregnancy, birth and beyond.
