Having a Holistic Massage or Reiki treatment is beneficial during many stages of your life. During Pregnancy, many women find it a most welcome addition to the whole experience ~ a time to relax and be looked after, a time to switch off from day-to-day life and have the tension eased from her aching muscles. This all has a positive effect on the unborn child. The mother's comfort is very important so we will find a position that is most suitable for her to relax in, preserving her modesty, with comfortable room temperature and loo breaks as needed! (Please note: Massage is not advisable in the first trimester of pregnancy and with certain medical conditions - please check with Papu on 01582 623985 or info@papujordan.com).

"MASSAGE ...a positive role in pregnancy...
Pregnant women have a physiological rise in pain threshold during the last 4 weeks of pregnancy. Current research suggests that regular massage during this time increases this already rising pain threshold...It is reported that women who sleep well during the last month of pregnancy are more likely to have a shorter labour. However, pregnant women often need help to relax and 'switch off' from their busy careers and lives during this period of nesting, 4 weeks prior to birth. Massage supports this process allowing the natural responses to take over and the body to prepare for labour and motherhood..." Taken from Embody Professional, Winter 2006.
