I qualified as a Swedish Massage and Aromatherapist in 1998/99 working from my home. My interest has always been women's health issues, and became interested in becoming a Midwife. I'm a qualified and registered Midwife and now can add in Massage in Pregnancy to my list of therapies.
Welcome to The Essential Treatment

Headaches, insomnia, digestive disorders, including constipation, nausea, fatigue and backache, shoulder and neck pain are common ailments experienced by pregnant women that can respond well to massage therapy. As a Midwife I understand how the body adapts during pregnancy and how some common ailments can be helped by massage.

Hot Stone Massage (Postnatal only)
Hot Stone Massage is one of the most enjoyable and relaxing therapeutic massages available. For hundreds of years, hot stone massage has been used by many different cultures and modern-day therapists apply the same techniques for a wonderfully relaxing massage designed to work on muscle tension at the deepest level.
During the hot stone massage treatment, smooth, basaltic (volcanic) rocks that have been dry heated are used in two ways; some stones are wrapped in towels and placed on specific energy centres, known as chakras, along the body to align and re-balance the body’s natural energy flow, whilst other stones are used to perform the body massage.
The heat of the stones penetrates deep into the muscle tissue allowing the muscles to relax 4-5 times quicker than in a standard body massage, easing muscle tension and revitalising the muscle tissue by increasing blood circulation.
The deep relaxation and increased blood flow to the areas being worked not only accelerates any healing processes but also creates a state of deep mental relaxation.
The benefits of hot stone massage include:
Improved circulation
Increased lymphatic drainage (toxin removal)
Improved blood flow to tissues
Reduces muscular tension
Relieves aches and pains
Reduces stress and anxiety
Produces a deep relaxation
