✨ The fourth trimester: healing, holding & growing together ✨
Often overlooked, the fourth trimester — the 12 weeks after birth — is a time of transformation; healing, adjusting, bonding, and growing.
While your baby is experiencing the world for the very first time, you are navigating huge physical, emotional, and hormonal shifts.
This trimester is just as important as the first three and some would argue the most. Whether it feels overwhelming, magical, or a bit of both — you don’t have to do it alone.
💛 Here’s how we’re here to support you through it:
💆♀️ Postnatal massage – nurture your body and support recovery
👶 Infant massage – connect with your baby, support their development, and meet other like-minded parents
💃 Kangatraining – safe, fun postnatal exercise while keeping baby close
🥰 Babywearing support – mimics the womb, helps soothe baby, and gives you hands-free cuddles
🧘♀️ Postnatal and mums & bubs yoga with Wellness by Jolan– gentle movement to reconnect with your body, breath, and mind.
🤱🏻Breastfeeding, sleep & midwifery care with Nurture and Nourish Lactation – guidance and reassurance through every stage.
Make the most of this special time into motherhood with care, connection, and community.e

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey—but let’s be honest, it’s not always comfortable. 🤰
That’s where our pregnancy massage comes in. Each session is tailored to support your changing body through every trimester — helping you feel more relaxed, balanced, and cared for. 💆♀️
Here are a few common pregnancy complaints and how massage can help:
🔹 Lower back & pelvic pain
Relieve tension from shifting posture and extra pressure on your pelvis.
🔹 Swelling in extremities
Gentle massage helps reduce fluid retention and soothe tired limbs.
🔹 Insomnia & restless sleep
Massage promotes relaxation, lowers cortisol, and encourages deeper rest by calming the nervous system
🔹 Stress & anxiety
Massage boosts oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins, and dopamine, your ‘feel good’ hormones. They help regulate mood, pain perception, and overall wellbeing, fostering a sense of calm and connection.
👩⚕️ Why it matters who you see:
Pregnancy massage isn’t just any massage — it’s important to see a therapist who understands your body’s unique needs and knows when to refer if needed.
Your safety, comfort, and wellbeing should always come first. 🌿

💥 Struggling with headaches? You’re not alone. Let’s break it down.
Not all headaches are equal — some are annoying, others completely debilitating. They generally fall into two categories: primary and secondary headaches. Here’s a quick look at a few common types and how remedial massage could help:
🔹 Tension-type headaches:
That dull, tight “band” feeling across your head? Often caused by neck and shoulder tension. This is the most common type of headache.
🔹 Cervicogenic headaches:
Neck issues causing pain that radiates into the head — often from the joints, discs, or soft tissues around the upper spine.
🔹 Migraine / vascular headaches:
Throbbing pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and sometimes even visual or neurological symptoms. Affects nearly 5 million Australians.
✨ Here’s how remedial massage (including hot/cold stones) can really shine:
✔️ Relieves muscle tension and trigger points
✔️ Reduces stress, muscular guarding and pain
✔️ Supports better posture and movement
📊 Studies show massage can significantly reduce headache frequency and even improve feel-good brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. It’s even listed by Headache Australia as a non-medicated treatment option.
👉 Tired of headaches? Try a natural, hands-on approach.

👣✨ The magic in your baby’s feet✨👣
Did you know your baby’s feet are packed with thousands of nerve endings and new reflexes?

In our upcoming baby massage class, you’ll discover:
🍼 Gentle massage routines to soothe, comfort & bond

What a day!
As I wrap up, I can’t help but think today felt good.
💪I worked with a client who has been dealing with ongoing shoulder issues and limited mobility. By the end of our session, we achieved movements they haven’t been able to do for months. I’m excited to see their progress in the follow-up.
🤰I had the absolute joy of massaging two beautiful mums in their third trimester. Both who I’ve been able to support since early pregnancy.
💆♀️I held space today for clients feeling depleted - we have all been there. Whether it’s easing tension or helping muscles function better i’m so grateful to do this work.
❤️And to top it off - a visit from my two little loves.

🌿 Postnatal massage – because your body deserves to be cared for 🌿
Mums, I see you—the feeding, nursing, adapting to your body’s new rhythm, and the beautiful chaos of newborn life. Your body has carried, birthed, and now continues to nurture this little human—and it deserves some care too. 💕
A postnatal massage can help:
✔ Support recovery after pregnancy and birth
✔ Ease tension from nursing & lifting your little one
✔ Restore mobility & comfort
✔ Give you a much-needed moment for yourself
And did you know? Massage can help stimulate the release of oxytocin, the hormone that assists postpartum recovery, supports uterine contractions, and even aids in breastfeeding - While this isn’t my focus ( Nurture and Nourish Lactation is the person you need for this area)... it's nice to know the benefits go deeper.
Worried about leaving your baby? You don’t have to. Bring them along! Our space is judgment-free, welcoming, and built with you in mind. Whether it's your baby or even your toddler—if bringing them is what it takes to get you here, then I've got you!
