DISCLAIMER T+C
The special offers listed in this blog are available only until Mothers Day - Sunday 12th May 2024. While a lot of these offers are specific to maternity clients, most businesses listed here also service non-maternity clients who are also welcome to enjoy the discounts on offer.
Pre-natal Massage
A soothing massage tailored specifically to the needs of pregnant women, focusing on relieving tension, reducing swelling, and promoting relaxation. Pregnancy massage is different to usual massage as the masseuse will be careful to avoid pressure points that may bring on early labour and of them they have a special bed so you can lay on your belly. I reckon I would have paid per-hour for that bed alone! Message Christina for all the details.
SPECIAL OFFER:
$10 off all massage treatments when you mention this blog

Pampering facials using gentle and pregnancy-safe products to address hormonal changes, hydrate the skin, and promote that radiant pregnancy glow. Seriously, treating yourself to a maternity facial is like a tranquil oasis for expectant moms. As you recline in comfort, surrounded by soothing scents and gentle touches, the stresses of pregnancy melt away. With each pregnancy-safe product and tender stroke, your skin is pampered and nourished, leaving you with a radiant glow that mirrors the joy growing within. It's a moment of pure bliss, tailored just for you and your precious bump.

Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care during pregnancy provides essential support, making the journey more comfortable. By addressing musculoskeletal changes, it alleviates common discomforts like back pain and pelvic pressure. Through gentle adjustments, it promotes proper alignment, easing movement and enhancing overall well-being. Come labor, a well-aligned pelvis can facilitate a smoother delivery process. With chiropractic care, pregnancy becomes a more comfortable and empowering experience.

Pilates exercises help to improve posture, alleviate back pain, and enhance overall body awareness, which can be incredibly beneficial as your body goes through the changes of pregnancy.

Spray Tan
I always feel more glamorous with a tan on. I am also a huge fan of the fake tan over the real one. And during my pregnancy, there were lots of bits of my body that I literally could not reach with the tanning mit. It was so lovely to just go stand in a tent and let the beautician spray a pregnancy-safe holiday-scented tan all over you.
