COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES
AROMATHERAPY OIL BLENDS £20
Holistic Aromatherapy is a powerful tool. If labour is not progressing easily, instead of stimulating change physically with drug intervention, essential oils have the potential to change a mood into a calm safe space for mothers (and all present).
Aromatherapy can work wonders in the birth room, triggering or supporting active and effective labour.
You can use essential oils in many ways; sniff directly from the bottle, on a tissue tucked into a strap, as a blend for massage, in candle form or diffused as a steam inhalation.
I will provide a blend made specifically for you in my Wellness Package.

PREGNANCY MASSAGE £60
A massage with essential oils starts working its magic immediately. The first smell will trigger a change in the way we feel. In labour this can help reduce fear, support relaxation and calm. If the skin is warm and damp it takes a shorter time for the oils to be absorbed into the skin.

ACUPRESSURE £60
Acupressure draws upon the same principles as acupuncture, but uses firm pressure from the hands instead of needles.
Acupressure can be used to stimulate contractions, helping to induce labour in cases of post maturity and actively reduce the level of medical intervention.

FULL WELLNESS PACKAGE £140*

A bespoke package of care which includes massage, a blend of essential oils and acupressure.
Hello Clair, I’m a bit confused about this. What’s the difference between buying the full package vs buying each individually? It seems to be the same price? It would be great to have a little summary describing what it is here. I don’t think you need to say available separately, because, unless I’m misunderstanding something, that’s just a repeat of the above? I hope i’m making sense?!
