Blooming Balm Aromatherapy. How Postnatal massage can help new mums.

I've treated so many lovely new Mums who have just had a baby and are feeling completely overwhelmed and wondering when the motherhood bliss feeling is going to hit them! For some woman this does happen, but for others it takes time to adjust to their new life and their new responsibilities. And that's ok too!!

Dreams of motherhood often paint a picturesque scene- babies peacefully sleeping, smiling moments captured in perfectly framed photos and a seamless bond between mother and child. The anticipation of unconditional love and complete happiness colours these dreams, creating an idyllic vision of the journey ahead.


Reality, however, is a canvas with varied strokes. sleepless nights become a right of passage, marked by hundreds of nappy changes, many re-reads of the 'very hungry caterpillar', and a perpetual sense of responsibility. Don't get me wrong the joy is real, but it coexists with exhaustion and many moments of self-doubt.


Society and culture idealises a version of maternal instincts, where everything seamlessly falls into place. In reality, it's a learning curve, filled with trial and error, doubts, and a constant adaptation to the unpredictable needs of the child.


Motherhood in its reality, is a journey of contraindications, where chaos and calm coexists.

Its a testament to strength, patience, and the remarkable ability to find joy in the midst of unpredictability. The dream may sketch an ideal, but the reality of motherhood paints a masterpiece with every messy, beautiful stroke.

Just try not to forget yourself and your own needs along the way!



 

Empowering New Mums Through Massage Therapy

The struggles are real, and that's where the powers of massage come into play.

  • Mental Resilience: The soothing touch of massage provides a sanctuary for new mums, offering a precious moment of relaxation amidst the demands of motherhood. It becomes a space for them to breathe, release tension, and reconnect with themselves.

  • Physical Well-Being: Pregnancy and childbirth take a toll on the body. My bespoke massage treatments focus on alleviating physical discomfort, promoting better sleep, and enhancing overall mobility. It's a rejuvenating experience that aids in postpartum recovery.

  • Emotional Balance: Motherhood brings a rollercoaster of emotions. Massage therapy acts as a gentle anchor, helping woman to navigate the emotional highs and lows. It fosters a sence of calm, reduces stress, and enhances their emotional well-being.

  • Holistic Health Benefits: Beyond the immediate relief, regular massage contributes to overall health and well-being, improved circulation, reduced muscle tension, and enhanced immune function. These are just a few of the long-term benefits that can be experience through my massage therapy treatments.


So, to all you amazing Mums in the area and beyond, know that you are not alone in this journey. Through the art of massage therapy, we rediscover strength, resilience, and the beauty of embracing the new normal.
