What to expect during your appointment:
During the consultation we will ascertain what type of massage you would like. We can concentrate on one or two areas of the body or go for a full body massage (time permitting). Once decided we will get you comfortable and start the massage.
As your pregnancy develops your position on the massage couch will change, you may even prefer to have a seated massage.
