For Recovery, Realignment & "Me Time"

Postnatal Massage (Up to 3 Months)

Feel Balanced & Reconnected Often called the “fourth trimester,” the weeks following birth are a time of immense physical and emotional change. Our Postnatal Massage in Bath is designed to nurture you while you nurture your baby.

Now that your baby is here, it is vital to focus on your recovery. Whether you had a calm birth or a more complex delivery, our therapists provide a safe, non-judgmental space to rest and realign.

Tailored for Your Postpartum Body Every session is adapted to your comfort. We offer:

Side-lying massage: Perfect for breastfeeding mothers or those with tender breasts.

Front-lying options: Fully supported with pillows to ease aches in the back and hips.

Whatever position you choose, you will be heard, supported, and plumped up with plenty of pillows!

Important Note: If you have had a C-section, we require you to wait 6 weeks post-birth to allow your incision time to heal before massaging near the area. For vaginal births, you are welcome as soon as you feel ready.

The Benefits of Postnatal Massage Supporting your transition into motherhood:

Relieves New-Mum Tension: Alleviates the "nursing hunch"—neck, shoulder, and back pain caused by breastfeeding and holding your baby
Reduces Swelling: Encourages lymphatic drainage to clear excess fluids and waste products remaining from pregnancy
Balances Hormones: Lowers cortisol (stress) and boosts serotonin and oxytocin to combat the "baby blues" and support bonding
Supports Breastfeeding: Can help relieve breast engorgement and plugged ducts, while boosting prolactin (the milk-making hormone)
Aids C-Section Recovery: Once the incision is healed, gentle massage increases blood flow to the area to prevent internal scarring and stiffness
Restores the Abdomen: Gentle abdominal work can assist the uterus in returning to its pre-pregnancy size and position
Improves Sleep: Promotes deep relaxation to improve sleep quality—crucial for sleep-deprived parents
Emotional Support: Provides a much-needed sanctuary and a listening ear during a time of significant vulnerability
