Research has shown that, for the general population, most relaxation treatments relieve stress, reduce tension and pain, and boost the immune system’s ability to fight off viruses. 

 

Therefore, treatment is even more important for the pregnant woman.

What to expect during a treatment

You can expect to remain clothed and comfortable, treatment can be done through light clothing.

​

Reiki treatments are done lying on a massage table, either on your  back or side whatever is most comfortable for you. Cushioning is then placed appropriately  for maximum comfort and relaxation.

​

Depending on what stage of pregnancy, an integrated treatment may be done in combination of standing, sitting and laying on a massage table. Whatever is required to be effective with your comfort in mind.

​

Treatment can be done at any stage of pregnancy, we would encourage regular monthly sessions to assist you throughout your pregnancy journey but of course this is entirely up to the individual.  We feel it best that you follow your own time table, and will be there to support you whenever you feel in need.
