Massage in Pregnancy, as at any other time, is a wonderful tool to help relax and revive the mind, body and spirit.

It is also a time when an expectant mother can experience strong emotional feelings. Throughout pregnancy, babies are aware of the outside environment and emotional state of the mother. As well as helping to relieve many of the common minor ailments associated with pregnancy, massage can help to the mother, and therefore the baby, remain in a balanced and healthy state physically, mentally and spiritually.
