This is a bespoke consultation created for YOU.
We will utilise our training in:
Spinning Babies®
The Bowen Technique
Pregnancy Massage Therapy
Clinical Aromatherapy
Natural Therapies
Spinning Babies® is a physiological approach to preparing for and caring for birth.
During birth, babies descend through the pelvis by turning to fit each curve in the passage. Baby’s turns are “fetal rotation.” If fetal rotation can be made easier, birth is easier for everyone.

Postnatal Care and Healing
As the Bowen Technique stimulates the body’s own innate ability to heal itself and because it is so gentle and non-invasive it can be used after labour, after caesarean or for perineal healing and pain relief post-delivery. The process of childbirth puts tremendous stresses and strains on the supporting muscles and ligaments of the pelvis which can result in post pregnancy pain and pelvic instability; continued post natal Bowen Therapy treatments can help reduce these problems and significantly aid post delivery recovery and may help the uterus to return to its normal position.
Breastfeeding
Bowen therapy impacts the function of the breast on a number of levels.
The systems that run through the fascia each has an impact on the function of the breast, particularly the endocrine system in breastfeeding.
Bowen moves performed along the clavicle, the intercostal spaces of the first 4 ribs, the armpit and the fascia of the pectoral (chest) muscles directly impacts the nerves and blood vessels that supply the breasts.
There are specific moves to promote lactation and it is a very effective tool for helping relieve upper back, shoulder and neck pain often experienced during breast-feeding.

Bowen Therapy
For Pre-conception, Pregnancy, Postnatal Care
Support your body into a state of balance and relieve body discomfort.
The Bowen Technique is a gentle and complimentary, non-invasive, soft tissue remedial therapy. It facilitates the body’s healing process to help relieve physical dysfunction and pain. Bowen Therapy targets the level of the superficial fascia and affects the relationship between fascia and the nerves, muscles or tendons being mobilised. Fascia plays a major role in muscle co-ordination, postural alignment and overall structural and functional integrity. Maintaining flexible fascia is key as your body undergoes major changes during pregnancy, labour and birth.
Pre-conception:
Bowen may help by regulating the menstrual cycle and enhancing fertility in both men and women. It brings about a state of balance in the nervous system and may release areas that are blocked or unable to function optimally.
Assisting the body to adapt to this new and fast-changing state: Pregnancy not only create new issues within your body, but can exacerbate existing ailments or injuries. As the body changes throughout your pregnancy added stresses to the neck, spine, pelvic area and your circulation system often occur and result in nausea, emotional stress, pain, discomfort and swelling. Most of these more common pregnancy related conditions may be easily, and gently, relieved by Bowen Therapy. As the pregnancy nears the end, Bowen therapy can help in optimising foetal positioning prior to birth.
We treat common pregnancy-related conditions including:
Lower back , hip pain & sciatica
SIJ discomfort
Round ligament pain
Muscle tension & cramping
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Swelling
Nausea & heartburn
Breathlessness
Stress & anxiety
