I am passionate about helping women feel the best that they can during pregnancy so that they are ready to birth with confidence. Hi, my name is Melanie, I am a remedial massage therapist, focusing on pregnancy massage. Pregnancy massage is like a regular massage, but focuses on positioning, supporting mum and bub physically, and uses specific techniques, targeted at relieving the aches and pains of pregnancy. I am passionate about helping women feel the best that they can during pregnancy so that they might be ready to birth with confidence. I have been a qualified massage therapist since 2000, but have had breaks to pursue my own pregnancies, which is where I developed my passion for what it is we go through as women to become mothers. I have birthed 4 children, my own 2 at ages 27 and then 32, and then again as a surrogate for close friends at ages 46 and 48. Massage helped my body feel ready to birth. I have recently redone my training so as to be recognised by health funds, so YES, you can claim pregnancy massage on your health fund.
3 problems that pregnant women face is
* lack of quality sleep
* aches and pains
* stress, can be like regular stress, but more amplified due to fear of the unknown
I believe massage during pregnancy will improve your sleep quality, relieve your aches and pains and help you to switch off those stress patterns, I'm also more than happy to talk about my own experiences during birth if that helps you feel at ease about what's to come. If you would like to experience the difference in your body after having a massage during pregnancy, please book in, I would love to meet with you and enhance your pregnancy experience.
