Helping you to prepare your mind and body for the birth of your baby
Recommended by midwives, our Birth Preparation/Induction Shiatsu Massage is safe and deeply relaxing, taking you into the meditative state required for a smooth and healthy labour and birth. We make sure that all the energy in your body is flowing correctly for labour and support you to connect with your baby.
Most of these sessions are done in our treatment space, but we also offer in-home appointments to teach birth partners how to give massage and use acupressure during labour and birth. This leaves you feeling supported and empowers your birth partner to be a part of the experience. Please get in touch to learn more about this option.
In birth preparation Shiatsu/ induction massage, we incorporate:
exercises and breathing techniques for labour,
shiatsu massage treatment, focusing on labour acupressure points (with you resting over a ball and also lying on your side with cushions)
visualisations for moving the baby deeper into the birth canal and connecting into the birth experience
It is recommended to have weekly Shiatsu from 37 weeks. We highly encourage your birth partner to come along and be involved so they can support you better in your labour.

“I saw Marian for Birth Preparation Shiatsu, as a midwife at Sandringham Hospital had recommended her services. She helped ease some rib pain I was feeling and used birth positions and acupressure points to open my pelvis for labour. She also taught me deep breathing I could use throughout labour. Her treatments made me feel so relaxed and excited for birth. Every woman should have this in pregnancy”
