Pre and post natal massage Glasgow Each massage treatment can be tailored to meet with your preferences. I will always use a cold pressed vegetable oil such as sunflower seed oil or grape seed oil, then will blend a selection of essential oils that are most suited to your requirements. During pregnancy there are a number of oils unsuitable for use and the massage pressure is lighter taking into account acupressure points. Pillows are used to support your baby bump and knees as you will ... VIEW POST

18 months of HUGE stress between kids turning day into night, long shifts, being the kids taxi driver all through the night not to mention the continual worry of keeping a track of where everyone is!

Neroli is a rejuvenating skin care preparation as it stimulates the growth of healthy new cells. As it is safe to use during pregnancy this means it’s a good ... VIEW POST
