Pregnancy Reflexology & Massage

Pregnancy Reflexology – Support for You and Baby

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey—filled with excitement, change, and sometimes, a few challenges along the way. As your body nurtures new life, it also undergoes emotional, mental, and physical shifts that can feel overwhelming at times. Reflexology offers a gentle, natural way to support you throughout every stage.

This deeply relaxing treatment is tailored to each trimester and is said to:

Promote relaxation and reduce stress
Ease common pregnancy discomforts like backache, fatigue, and digestive issues
Help improve sleep and relieve pregnancy-related insomnia
Support emotional balance and overall well-being

From the early weeks right through to the final trimester, reflexology provides time and space just for you—helping you feel calm, grounded, and cared for.

Once you reach 37 weeks, your sessions can begin to gently support your body in preparing for labour, helping to promote readiness for a natural birth.

A nurturing treatment for both body and mind—because you deserve care too, mama

Pregnancy Massage – Gentle Support for Every Stage of Your Journey

From the second trimester onward, pregnancy massage offers a nurturing, deeply relaxing way to support your changing body and growing baby. As you move through the different stages of pregnancy, your body experiences a range of physical and emotional changes—massage can help you feel more balanced, comfortable, and cared for throughout.

This gentle, tailored treatment can help ease:

Tension in the back, shoulders, neck, legs, and feet
Muscle aches and joint discomfort
Circulation and lymphatic flow
Stress, anxiety, and emotional fatigue

Every pregnancy is unique, and so is every massage. You may choose to remain seated for part of your treatment—perfect for back, neck, and shoulder work—or enjoy the full experience on the massage couch, supported with pillows for your comfort. Your treatment will always be adapted to suit your needs and how you’re feeling on the day.

Pregnancy massage is said to help:

Reduce stress hormones
Relieve anxiety and promote relaxation
Rejuvenate energy levels
Improve sleep
Build emotional connection and inner calm
Encourage a positive mindset ahead of labour
Support the body’s natural hormonal balance, including oxytocin production

Massage can be enjoyed weekly, fortnightly, or monthly—or simply when you feel the need for a little TLC. For consistent support through your pregnancy journey, regular treatments are encouraged.

At Little Indulgence, we also recommend combining pregnancy massage with reflexology for a beautifully balanced and holistic approach—especially in the lead-up to labour. A calm mind and relaxed body create the perfect foundation for a positive birthing experience.

Postnatal Reflexology & Massage : The fourth trimester

Postnatal Reflexology – Support for Your Fourth Trimester

Welcoming your baby into the world is a joyful and life-changing experience—but it also brings big shifts for your body and mind. In the weeks and months after birth, your hormones are still adjusting, your energy is being poured into your little one, and sleep can feel like a distant memory.

Postnatal reflexology is a gentle, restorative therapy that may help:

Rebalance hormones
Encourage better sleep
Relieve physical tension
Improve overall well-being and emotional calm

This is your time to rest, reset, and receive support. You are the centre of your baby’s world—so taking care of you is one of the most important things you can do.

Postnatal Massage – Support for Your Fourth Trimester

The fourth trimester is a time of immense change—physically, emotionally, and mentally. As your body recovers and adjusts to life with your new baby, postnatal massage offers a nurturing way to ease tension, promote healing, and help you reconnect with yourself.

Whether you need gentle relaxation or deeper relief from aches and pains, your massage is tailored to support your unique post-birth journey. It can help with:

Shoulder, neck, back, and hip tension
Hormonal balance and emotional well-being
Fatigue and sleep quality
Recovery after birth and feeding-related strain

You’ve done something incredible—now it’s time to receive the care you deserve.

“I have been seeing Rachel for massage and reflexology throughout my pregnancy and would highly recommend her services. Rachel is an expert in dealing with pregnant ladies and I felt totally comfortable with her from the very beginning. Rachel uses excellent techniques to achieve a full body pregnancy massage, which is far superior to others I have had, even at a very well known spa recently, where I paid considerably more for my treatment! I am always amazed by what Rachel can pick up from my feet in my reflexology sessions. Not only is it very enlightening in terms of what is going on in my body, it's incredibly relaxing and I often find myself so relaxed I doze off! The treatments that Rachel offers are second to none and as a therapist she is incredibly professional, knowledgeable and truly passionate about her work. Rachel makes sure you get the most out of your treatment every time and will always follow up to see how you are feeling a day or two afterwards. Rachel is the only therapist I've ever come across, who has a genuine interest for the ongoing effect of her services and the impact that her treatments have on her clients. You're never just another massage, you're an individual and if you book a treatment with Rachel, you will see how you are truly valued as such.”

“Rachel gave me the most incredible massage, so needed at 28 weeks pregnant and achey all over. I felt great afterwards, relaxed and energised and the aches had gone! She's a very calming person and made me feel so comfortable (as I do feel a bit self conscious about my changing pregnant body). Her hands are magical and found all the achey spots straight away. I just love how she comes to your own home and creates a little haven there, so there's no worries about travelling anywhere afterwards in your new chilled out state 😊 Definitely booking another one!”

“A massage with Rachel is a real treat. Having it at home is so convenient and she sets up her equipment to make it like a salon but without leaving the house. I've had the pleasure of pregnancy reflexology, pregnancy massage, postnatal reflexology (with baby sleeping on me!) and massage and always feel rejuvenated after treatments. And now my husband has discovered she also does gift vouchers!”

“I can’t believe that it was only 2 weeks ago that I came to see you to help ‘encourage’ labour to get going. Even though you were very open and honest and didn’t think baby would come any time soon, within 36hours labour had started! I truly believe that this was due to the wonderfully relaxing reflexology session I had (and have always had) with you. You are an amazing holistic therapist - professional, knowledgeable and always producing great results. Thank you for supporting me through my fertility and subsequent pregnancy journey - your support and compassion were much needed when i was stressed and it looked like my little bundle would never arrive. I can’t wait to start baby reflexology sessions with you in the future. Many thanks,”
