As a therapist, I am particularly interested in helping mother and baby adjust to life at the transitional time of pregnancy and the post natal period and aim to enhance the natural bond between mother and baby.

For mother  During the challenges of pregnancy, the body undergoes many changes. Shiatsu is beneficial to help support these changes as it works to relax, ease tension and balance on a physical and emotional level. After giving birth, treatment can help as the mother’s body returns to its’ non-pregnant condition. This is particularly the case if the birth has been difficult or there have been complications or intervention.

For baby  A baby’s body is well designed to manage the range of compressive forces of a natural birth, however, larger compressive forces can be harder for a baby to recover from.
