For the last few years my treatment prices have remained the same and I've realised it's time for a change. If you'd like to take advantage of my current prices please book by the end of the day on Thursday 4th September and I'll honour this price for treatments booked in up to the 10th October.

These are the beautiful treatments that I offer -

🌹Womb & Abdominal Massage. This is a deeply nurturing and healing treatment that supports many aspects of women's health - heavy / painful / irregular periods, fertility, fibroids, baby loss, menopause, digestive issues, endometriosis,
pregnancy, postpartum & more

🌹Closing The Bones. A ceremony to hold, nourish and honour your postpartum journey. Receive a womb & abdominal massage, be rocked with rebozos then wrapped in rebozos and blankets to warm and nurture your body while you rest deeply. For anytime postpartum whether 2 weeks/2 years/20 years later or after a loss

🌹Scar Tissue Work. Helps relieve pain, numbness, restrictions, function and resolve adhesions. From 10 weeks postpartum for caesarean births, no time limit, 10+ years later this is still beneficial

🌹Myofascial Release for the pelvis. A pregnancy treatment to release restrictions around the pelvic diaphragm easing aches and discomfort in the back and pelvis including symptoms of pelvic girdle pain / SPD and encourages babies into an optimal position for birth.

🌹Biomechanics for Birth. Techniques to help create balance in the pelvis and make space for baby so they can get themselves well positioned for birth. These are gentle, non-invasive techniques which help release restrictions, tension and imbalances

❤️ Scar tissue and womb & abdominal massage can be combined. Optional pelvic steam with Closing the Bones

Message me for more details. I'm always happy to book a call to talk through options and answer any questions.

23 years ago I gave birth to this one. This is the first birthday since she flew the nest almost 1 year ago. Usually I spend the day before reflecting on being in labour but it didn't feel as strong this year. I was still awake in the early hours this morning though acknowledging the moment she was born.
She doesn't consent to me sharing her recent photos online so here are some much loved ones from her younger self along with today's birthday cake and Ruby!

Labour of Love is officially an adult! 18 wonderful years of doing this work and growing and expanding my offerings ❤️
In keeping with my (unintentional) tradition I again forgot to post on my actual anniversary 5th April but managed to remember 1 day earlier than last year! After looking back at last year's post I realised I was wearing this top then too, but it is one of my favourites!
Thank you to all my lovely clients over the years, I'm still here because of you ❤️

Our Story

Hi, I’m Rosa Davies and I’ve been running my classes and working as a Doula for 13 years. I have loved working with so many pregnant women and their partners over the years and supporting new mums. I don’t know the exact number of parents who I’ve supported but well over 1000!

My classes encourage you to trust yourself and feel powerful in your body, help you bond with your baby, take time out for yourself and enjoy some nurturing during pregnancy and postnatally. I also offer treatment to support you through pregnancy, the postnatal period and beyond.

In recent years I have been drawn to working with women of all ages and helping them in their quest for health and healing. This led me to train in Mizan Therapy and Myofascial Release. I feel privileged and honoured to be doing this work.
