Advanced
Pregnancy Massage
Louise Graham of Beyond Alchemy Massage (Oxford) has studied
and is experienced in advanced massage techniques. These
are important to ensure that even when ladies in advanced
stages of pregnancy can no longer lie on their "bump",
they can still experience a full body massage - with emphasis
on the lower back.
She has also qualified in advanced aromatherapy for pregnancy
and child birth.
Her knowledge is invaluable for cases of the early stages
with morning sickness (essential oil: ginger),
varicose veins (essential oil: cypress),
stretch marks (essential oil: neroli),
and painful muscles (essential oil: lemongrass).
There are also certain oils not to be used in pregnancy.
Some such essential oils are called "uterine contractors"
and may cause a miscarriage. However if the baby is late
they can be great to get the contractions going.
After the birth the new mother should, ideally, be completely
pampered. In India all new mothers do is breast feed and
be massaged to get their body back in shape. This may not
be possible for you but a couple of masaages will help to
restore you after your huge exhaustions.
Most mothers are fine (after the 5th day blues, when your
bodies natural endorphines have reduced). However, if you
find your hormones giving you post natal depresion, Jasmine
& clary sage really do help.
There are also oils to help with fertility problems, hormone
balancers (essential oils: rose, clary
sage, lavender, geranium).
Louise Wheadon of Beyond Alchemy Massage (Oxford) said of
pregnancy massage that:
" ... I can help from conception through to
post natal care and I must say it is a complete joy &
honour to be part of this wondrous miracle ! "
