Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage is a wonderful way to help alleviate many common discomforts caused by the physical changes of pregnancy, as well as to promote a sense of well-being and to reduce stress.

Massage Therapist Rachael Merrett is skilled in a variety of massage techniques, including the treatment of women before during and after pregnancy.

Rachael holds a specialist qualification in the functional movement of the body before, during and after pregnancy. This enables her to identify exactly which structures are likely to be causing discomfort during pregnancy, and to treat them effectively.
