Meet Your Pregnancy Massage Therapist
When Harriet moved to Queensland in 2008 after getting married and she soon fell pregnant.
Through her first two pregnancies she did not feel comfortable seeking massage from local therapists.
This was mainly because she knew how little knowledge she had of massaging during pregnancy. Even with her Diploma of Remedial Massage.
Before she fell pregnant with her third son she travelled back to Melbourne to study a Diploma of Pregnancy Massage.
With this she began her specialty in pregnancy massage in 2012.
Now with over a decade of pregnancy massage and adding pregnancy reflexology and acupressure to her tool kit she has unique skill set in Queensland. Harriet offers a highly effective service to bring balance to your body before, during and after pregnancy.
Harriet was an absolute godsend during my pregnancy.
I was in quite a lot of pain before I found her and after just the first session, there was a significant improvement that only got better with subsequent sessions.
I’m so glad I found you 💖 thank you so much
Remedial massage and reflexology during your journey to parenthood can be a game changer. Due to Harriet's extensive training and experience these sessions can be of benefit in all stages: fertility and preconception, through all three trimesters, preparation for induction, labor and birth and postnatal support.
Pre-conception
Taking care of your body before you try to conceive can make all the difference to your experience falling pregnant and then throughout your pregnancy. An imbalance in your body, hormones, muscles or your nervous system, can have a significant impact. Harriet will use her extensive experience and knowledge to help you find equilibrium and go forth with confidence.
Pregnancy
From the day you conceive your body is progressively adjusting to provide and allow your baby to grow and deliver your baby at the end of your pregnancy. From one week to the next there will be many changes. Having regular specialised pregnancy remedial massage and reflexology during your pregnancy can make all the difference to your pain and discomfort levels.
Postnatal
Your body goes through a lot to deliver your bundle of joy. Then you are looking after baby 24/7. Muscle tension can build at any stage, leading to aches in your hips, back and shoulders. Booking a session as soon as you feel uncomfortable is the best option. You can have massage straight after your vaginal birth. If your baby was delivered via c-section contact Harriet to discuss your needs.
