A small collection of tools designed to wrap new and expecting mothers in warmth and deep care.
Basalt stones are at the centre of this practice - smooth and steady, they release warmth slowly, sinking into muscles to ease tension, improve circulation, and invite profound relaxation. I move between balm and warm oil depending on the body’s needs, shifting the texture and depth of touch to work gently yet effectively with soft tissues. Sometimes I’ll draw on cupping, creating space in the muscles, increasing blood flow, and helping inflammation settle. And always - towels and props in abundance, to hold, wrap, and comfort each part of the body.
Why is massage such an important part of my work with mothers? Because the pregnant and postpartum body carries so much - fatigue, physical strain, emotional weight, and the intensity of transition.
Massage is a way to nurture the mother, helping her feel held at a time when so much of her energy is given outward. The warmth restores circulation and vitality, easing the cold and exhaustion often felt after birth. Gentle pressure melts away tension in the shoulders, hips, and back, releasing the stress and strain of sleepless nights and constant caregiving.
Beyond the physical, there’s the gift of space: space to pause, breathe, and feel into her own body again. To soften back into herself and remember she is more than tiredness, more than giving - she is deserving of being cared for with tenderness.
Pregnancy and postpartum massage is not a luxury, it’s an essential thread of support, recovery and renewal. A moment of grounding, warmth, and deep support in the tender weeks of becoming.
I offer in-home or clinic-based massage. Details are on my website - link in the bio 💛
