You’ve launched a new package for mothers to be, tell us more about that?

We are a boutique spa, and it is the perfect place for new mothers or expecting mothers to relax and be looked after by our wonderful team.

We have a range of treatments to choose from, such as:

1. Pregnancy reflexology which can be use pre and post pregnancy and is also available from eight weeks of pregnancy. This is amazing to help balance hormones; it helps to relieve both physical and emotional tension as well as relax mother and baby and give that deep sense of relaxation each mother or mother to be needs.

2. Pregnancy massage can be done from 12 weeks and aims to help relieve physical tension all over the body and encourage deep relaxation.

3. Breast treatment is an amazing treatment for lifting the breast naturally, helping with toning and relieving tenderness. It is also amazing for cracked nipples during breast feeding.

4. Bump treatment can be done from 12 weeks and works wonders to help reduce stretch marks, itching and relieve tenderness.

5. Foot treatment can be done throughout the pregnancy. This treatment works to relieve tired legs, bringing circulation back to the lower legs which will in turn reduce lower leg swelling.
