Massage therapy during labour can be beneficial in all three stages of labour (latent, active and transition). It will reduce the anxiety many women (especially first time moms) experience during the latent stage. Once labour moves into the active and transition phases the mother will experience reduced stress thereby improving the quality of her labour experience.

Labour Support Massage Services can be provided by the Massage Therapist or your birthing partner. We at Maternity Wellness can train your partner to properly address your massage needs throughout your delivery, ensuring a rewarding and experience for you both.

If it is the services of a Registered Massage Therapist you desire during labour, you will call once experiencing your early stages of labour. We will be in constant telephone contact and I will be available to come to your birthing place (hospital, home or midwife centre) when you wish. If you have a partner present for the event, I will guide them how to best help and support you if you both so wish. Childbirth is a wonderful experience and you should concentrate on the baby you are about to meet far more than you should be focusing on the pain of the contractions. This will be one of our main goals throughout the birthing process. My objective is that you walk away from this experience with nothing but joyful memories of your babies arrival.
