Postnatal Massage

Gentle, restorative massage with care from a midwife.

​

After birth, your body has been through a lot. My postnatal massages give you some time to rest, ease tension and feel nurtured as you recover.

​

As a registered midwife, I can adapt your treatment to your birth experience and how you're feeling on the day, whether you've had a vaginal birth, a caesarean or a more complicated recovery.

​

Depending on your individual circumstances, massage may be possible in the early days after birth. We'll talk through your recovery first to make sure the treatment is suitable for you.

​

If appropriate, I'll also blend essential oils specifically for you following your consultation, or use unscented products if that's more suitable.

​

A chance to slow down, ease those aches and pains, and have some time to yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I have a postnatal massage?

​Postnatal massage at Birth Boutique can be offered from the early days after birth onwards. Appointments are guided by midwife-led assessment rather than a fixed waiting period, and care is always adapted to how you’re feeling on the day. If you have visited Birth Boutique for a pregnancy massage, treatments can be offered up to 12 months postnatal. 

Is postnatal massage safe after a caesarean birth?

Yes. Postnatal massage can be suitable following a caesarean birth, including in the early stages of recovery. Treatment is adapted carefully, with attention to comfort, healing, and what feels appropriate for you at that time.

Are essential oils used?

Essential oils are used only when appropriate and following consultation. If suitable, you’ll be invited to choose from a small selection, which are blended specifically for you. If oils aren’t appropriate, your massage will still be nurturing and effective using unscented products.
