Pregnant in the Hutt...

Just had another pregnant client here. Oh, how I love to work with two people at the same time!!! It's such a privilege to be able to touch the future...

I like to work holistically, and that also means to refer clients. That's why I'm always on the lookout for the good stuff out there, which is sometimes really hard to find! For example an exercise programme specifically for mums-to-be. I spent ages googling, but there was not a lot to find in the Hutt...

As I have my own facebook page running again, I thought I could spend some of my energy in setting up one for all the mums-to-be here in the Hutt! A page created to help them find all the great stuff that is available just for them, here in the Hutt - from childbirth courses to maternity clothes, from photo shoots to exercise programmes... But also to help them find support, should they need it.

So check it out, here is my latest baby:      'Pregnant in the Hutt'

D.I.Y. back massager (not only) for pregnancy and labour...

If I would make a statistic about the area I massage most - the back would be the sure winner!
A good back rub is something, noone can resist. And pregnant women even less...
As much as I love to give professional pregnancy massages, I am also a big supporter of D.I.Y.
I found this little video on youtube -  a very simple, cheap and effective way to give a great back massage, even if you have 2 left hands...
One thing I would like to add, which isn't mentioned in the video: avoid direct pressure ON the spine, only work along both sides of it!

why I love pregnancy massage...

Today I had another pregnant client. It is just something special about working with mums to be.
Being able to help them to release some of the discomforts of a pregnancy - like a sore lower back, tight shoulders, leg cramps and swollen legs is one part of it.
But even more rewarding is to see them find rest, when sleeping at night becomes more difficult. To give them time to fully relax and enable them to bond with this new life growing inside!
Pregnancy is such a special time in the life of a woman. Throughout the centuries massage has always been a integral part of it. For me it is a real privilege to be in touch with the wonder of life...

Celebrate breastfeeding...

Today I had a very special commitment: I have been at the New Dowse in Lower Hutt to support the 'Big Latch On'! 
As part of celebrations for World Breastfeeding Week, La Leche League was holding the Big Latch On which is an attempt to break the world record for the most women breastfeeding simultaneously. The emphasis was on making this an opportunity for the mums to get together and have a chat, some morning tea and celebrate the relationships with each other and their babies.
There have been almost 100 mums with their babies and kids filling the conference room at the New Dowse - what an atmosphere! I was offering the mums free neck & shoulder massages - and as you can imagine they where very well received :-) 
And who deserves it more than mums?!...

Today I got an email from one of my clients, who just gave birth to her baby! She added a photo - what a cutie!! To finally get to see the baby I have been 'in touch with' during a pregnancy massage is always very special to me - a little miracle, perfectly created and absolutely unique! A very special part of our future.
And I love touching the future...
