Where can I go for a good pregnancy massage? Post Reply

Hi all,

Am 36 weeks preggers, tense and exhausted running after my toddler. I could really do with a massage to help me relax a little bit, but the last time I indulged myself I was a bit disappointed. The massage lady spent most of the time fiddling around with pillows and I spent a lot of time sitting up, none of which wasnt very relaxing

I hear that some people use massage tables with perfectly placed 'bump holes' meaning you can lie down on your front and get comfy.

Any ideas where I can get a decent massage? Ideally would be lovely if they could come to my house, so I can dose off afterwards!

Thanks

Independent Mind Body Soul in Balham has water table type cushions for pg massage

Neals Yard on Northcote has a lady called Coralli who does pg massage - she has a table with the bump hole

Gina conway on fulham road does a really good pregnancy massage - its aveda spa so am sure other ones are good too.

For the whole pregnancy mum pampering experience, I highly recommend Cupcake. I went several times while pregnant and it was pure bliss. Once I got a facial/massage, and the next day at work 5 separate people commented that I was absolutely glowing and pregnancy really agreed with me. I told none of them I had paid for that glow!!

They also have a creche for the toddler

I would recommend Gretcha at the Vitality Centre on Merton road. She does a good strong massage so very effective. I went to her last week at 39 weeks very keen to have my baby so she focused on pressure points to induce labour. My baby girl was born at 6 the next morning! Not sure if that was fluke or not but she certainly helped all my aches and pains from lifting my 18 month old.

I thought Andrea at Treat Balham was great. She also does pregnany reflexology. Good luck!

Neils Yard on Northcote Rd or Clarins Spa in Peter Jones... Im A huge fan of clarins products and the package i got (thanks to my dearest mummy!) head to toe mummy-to-be massage plus facial was just sn sbsolute bliss, i fell asleep

I was full of water retention for my 1st pregnancy so the type of massage abd the cream she used helped ti get rid of it (went to the bathroom a lot that day )

Enjoy! After when baby is born, use Return to glory and choose what you want, they come to your house!
