Pregnancy and Massage
There are many myths and fears associated with pregnancy, and as a massage therapist she can offer positive and nurturing support for the mother-to-be during this very exciting time.

This has given her validation of her treatments, further broadening her massage skills in the area of pregnancy and post partum.
Specialising in Pregnancy Massage, Catherine has researched the many and varied techniques of massage which can be applied to relieve musculoskeletal discomforts experienced during pregnancy.
Catherine has a focus on networking with other health professionals to educate them on the benefits of massage during pregnancy.
Partner training is also part of the pregnancy Journey that Catherine explores; a well trained birth partner will assist in a positive way during the labour.
Pregnancy massage is a journey which has given Catherine the opportunity to broaden her knowledge and skills in a positive way. She is passionate about the importance of assisting a healthy pregnant client through the many changes occurring during each trimester.
