Testimonials
I did my first pregnancy massage yesterday on an 8 month pregnant lady and I can honestly say it’s the most enjoyable massage I’ve ever done - especially when baby joined in and started wriggling! What is lovely is that this lady will be coming back to see me for baby massage too!

I’m organising an event at a local baby superstore next week for pregnant mums to come along and have pregnancy therapy tasters (with other pregnancy specialists as well as myself) to raise money for our local maternity unit. Busy, busy, busy!
