Birth Debrief

£95

How soon do you feel ready to talk through your Birth Story?

Birth Trauma can be really crap, and stays with you forever. Understanding what happened and being able to acknowledge why it happened and what could have been different helps to then make it easier to deal with and move past.

It also helps you prepare for any future pregnancies and births in a positive way

Often women choose to come to mine, we take our time talking through everything and understanding how your labour and birth unfolded and why. If you have notes from your care then great we can go through them, if not it doesn’t matter. We can make some points that you might feel you want to address, things you can do to change your birth experience next time.

Then we finish off the appointment with an Aromatherapy Reflexology Treatment to help rebalance and clear any left over negative emotions from Birth.

If you prefer, and you don’t want the Treatment, I can come to yours for the Debrief in your home.

Aromatherapy Pregnancy Massage

Aromatherapy is the use of highly concentrated plant oils which have known properties to help aid relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety and help relieve pain. Pregnancy can be a time that brings much joy but also much stress and worry. Aromatherapy massage can help to reduce your level of stress and anxiety by increasing that very important hormone oxytocin and at the same time reducing your level of stress hormone. Making mum and baby relaxed and calm.

As your baby grows you may notice general aches and pains throughout your body. Aromatherapy massage can help to relieve them, firstly by using oils that have known analgesics properties such as black pepper while the use of massage is well known to increases oxytocin, endorphins (the body’s natural pain reliever) and reduce your level of stress hormone.

An aromatherapy treatment involves consultation, treatment and a blended oil to take home with you to use in-between treatments.

Aromatherapy full body massage: £50

Aromatherapy back massage: £30
