At Bella Mama we feel passionate about caring supporting and celebrating women throughout the exciting journey which is pregnancy, birth and motherhood. Our role is to provide high quality, specialist treatments to women in the luxurious and nurturing environment of our Pregnancy Spa and Wellness Centre located in Belmont, North Shore. As well as massage therapy we also provide a range of beauty therapy and spa treatments as well as natural health and wellness including naturopathy and acupuncture. We also support our clients with a range of aromatherapy skincare products and provide advice on the many benefits of massage, yoga and infant massage. Bella Mama is committed to the highest quality on-going training and education for our therapists and staff. We also take a keen interest in international research studies which point to the beneficial effects of touch therapy and yoga on women at all stages of their lives, with a special interest in mother wellness, birth outcomes and the bonding process between infant and parent. We hope that our work will spread these positive benefits to women and children throughout New Zealand.

There’s pressure to “bounce back” after birth, but real recovery takes time. Supporting your body slowly allows muscles, hormones, and emotions to rebalance naturally. Healing isn’t a race — it’s a journey that deserves patience and compassion. maternalhealing gentlerecovery momcare

Postpartum fatigue is more than lack of sleep — it’s physical healing, emotional adjustment, and hormonal change all at once. Ignoring it can deepen burnout. Needing rest doesn’t mean you’re weak — it means you’re healing. maternalrecovery postpartumsupport momwellness

Birth isn’t the finish line — it’s the beginning of healing, adjusting, and bonding. It’s that tender stretch after birth — when your body, mind, and heart are all learning something new. It’s about slowly becoming the new version of you.�🕊️ You’re not supposed to bounce back.�You’re supposed to take your time.

Many people think that once a baby is born, a new mom’s body bounces back in 6 weeks — but that’s a myth. Recent evidence, shared by doctors and scientists, says full recovery often takes much longer: 6–18 months, sometimes up to 1–2 years.
✨What’s really going on:
✅ The first 6–8 weeks after birth (the “postpartum” period) bring obvious recovery: uterus shrinking, bleed1ng slowing down, and major childbirth healing begins.
✅ But many internal changes take months — or more. Things like pelvic-floor strength, connective tissues, abdominal muscles, hormones, and even mental/emotional balance continue improving long after those first weeks.
✅ A recent large study following hundreds of thousands of mothers found that bodies may not fully “settle” until a year or more later.
✨What this means for moms:
✅ Feeling tired, in pain, “not yourself,” or emotionally fragile months after birth — you’re not alone, and you’re not failing.
✅ The pressure to “bounce back” quickly is unrealistic. It’s normal for your body to take time.
✅ Recovery - Postnatal massages and good nutrition speed recovery, ease discomfort, boost energy, and support emotional wellbeing.
💖 A Message for New & Expecting Moms
Motherhood doesn’t come with a fixed deadline for healing. It’s okay to take your time. Your body has done something incredible — it deserves rest, patience, and kindness.
Let us create a gentle, personalized care plan to help you heal and thrive. Call us at 09 -445 7591 or email us at info@bellamama.co.nz to know more about our postnatal packages.

Your lungs work harder to deliver oxygen to both you and your growing baby.�That “out of breath” feeling? It’s not weakness — it’s your body doing superhero-level work. 💨
As your pregnancy progresses, your body increases blood volume and your respiratory drive changes to make sure both you and baby get enough oxygen. You may notice you get winded more easily, especially when climbing stairs, carrying groceries, or after mild activity. This is very common and a normal part of the incredible changes happening inside you.
Tips to help you breathe a little easier:
- Pause and take slow, deep belly breaths when you feel short of breath. Inhale slowly through the nose, let your ribcage and belly expand, then exhale gently.
- Maintain good posture: sitting and standing tall gives your lungs more room to expand.
- Pace yourself: break tasks into smaller steps, take regular rest breaks, and avoid rushing.
- Gentle prenatal exercise (walking, swimming, prenatal yoga) can improve stamina — check with your provider first.
- Sleep propped up with an extra pillow if nighttime breathlessness bothers you, and avoid overheating.
When to call your provider: if breathlessness comes on suddenly, is severe, is accompanied by chest pain, fainting, a racing heart, or sudden swelling, seek medical attention right away.
Prenatal massage can also be a wonderful complement to your pregnancy care — easing tension, improving circulation, and helping you relax. If you’re near us, book a prenatal session at Bella Mama Spa to help support comfort and well‑being during this special time.
