We are delighted to announce that this years theme for Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week 5-11th May 2025 is :

Your Voice, Your Strength.

We will be focusing on advocating for all families affected by Perinatal Mental Illness , to access the information and help they require to enable recovery.

Our survey this year overwhelmingly showed how women do not feel listened to with regards to their mental health in parenthood and this year's theme has been created to help drive a change.We want to highlight the power of women knowing it is ok to express their needs, feelings, and experiences related to their mental well-being and that their experience, be it pregnancy, birth or parenthood, matters.

And we will focusing on support to find your voice when it feels like no one is listening.

Throughout the week, we will be using and will encourage the use of the hashtag on social media.

We will be running themed days and each day has its own unique hashtag to make it easy to search for content, which we will reveal shortly.

A different take on our Sunday birth story theme ❤️

Ange was a great help during my pregnancy and provided me with an oil blend for my nausea. I used this at work regularly, which made life a lot easier and definitely reduced my significant nausea and found I ended up not requiring my anti emetics as much. During my 3rd trimester, I really struggled with PGP and was on crutches: again, Ange made a lovely blend, which I used regularly, which again eased my sciatica and PGP!
Thank you so much from Megan and Hamish.

Thank you Megan ❤️ Sharing your experience shows that you don't need to be able to attend face to face for Highland Natal Therapies to help 🙂

✨️ Another beautiful birth story ✨️

At 3 a.m., I woke up and started to feel that something was happening. It was two days past my ‘due date,’ and I had a gut feeling that the baby was going to arrive. I had the best day watching a movie, practicing my breathing, and having a bath. At 4 p.m., I went to the hospital and was 4 cm dilated, so I was able to go straight to the birthing pool. The water provided amazing pain relief, and I felt so calm. The gas and air really helped me keep my breathing in a good rhythm. After a few hours, I chose to have an epidural, which allowed me to get a quick nap and watch another film. At 8 a.m., my beautiful baby was delivered with the help of a ventouse.

Angela at Highland Natal Therapies had been an amazing help throughout my pregnancy. Complementary therapies were the only thing that helped with my morning sickness. Throughout my treatments, I asked countless questions, and I felt so well-informed going into my birth. Plus, her massages are almost worth having another baby for! I couldn’t recommend Highland Natal Therapies enough.

Thank you so much Freya ❤️ It was an absolute pleasure carrying out your treatments x

A beautiful Sunday birth story from Kim 👶🏻🤰🏼🫶

I visited Lauren for reflexzone therapy on the day before my induction, as I’ve had a number of amazing treatments at HNT over the course of my two pregnancies. I was a little bit nervous about my labour being induced, as I’d had a very positive and quick spontaneous labour with my first baby. Lauren was great at explaining exactly what she was doing and the pressure points that she was focussing on throughout my treatment, after we had discussed what I was hoping to gain from the reflexology. I was induced just before midday the following day (Sunday 12th January) and I was delighted to be able to go home and wait for labour to progress there. As soon as I got home, I began feeling mild contractions and spent the rest of the day at home using basic hypnobirthing techniques to manage each one.
Eventually, at 10.45pm, I phoned the hospital as I was feeling like I needed some pain relief and I was keen to be examined to see if things were progressing. We headed in to the ward and I was thrilled when the midwife told me that I was 6cm dilated and ready to head to the labour suite. My daughter was born safe and sound at 5.05am with the help of some gas & air. I am confident that Lauren’s treatment definitely helped to prepare my body for labour. This is the 2nd time that I’ve had a treatment at HNT and given birth within the following 24-48 hours, with both being positive experiences. I can’t recommend Lauren and Angela enough for their expertise, reassuring nature and heavenly treatments.
