Pregnancy treatments that relax the tension at Stephanies

Our soon-to-be mothers will leave our day spas in a state of relaxation, feeling revived, nourished, and free of stress in their bodies and minds. Bringing a child into the world requires a significant amount of effort. The experience of becoming a parent for the first time is a very unique one, but along with all of the happiness and excitement, pregnancy may also bring along a great deal of discomfort. The most frequent issues that our expectant mothers come to us with, as well as those that we hear about from them, are aching hips and lower backs, swollen feet and hands, and general exhaustion. 

Our trained therapists will tailor a treatment specifically to your requirements, which will assist to ease stress, put your mind at ease, and take away any specific aches and pains you may be experiencing.

Feel nurtured, serene and tension-free.

Let us take your pregnancy on a beautiful nurturing journey. Throughout your treatment, our special pregnancy pillow will help remove any pain and discomfort and will support your hips and joints. This will allow you to relax and enjoy your nourishing treatment with extra cushioning and comfort.

Prenatal Massage

Pregnancy massage therapy is a special type of massage which is adapted to suit the specific needs of pregnancy. Our qualified massage therapists will customise our massage techniques based around your needs and concerns at any stage of pregnancy, from the first trimester and beyond.

We will help alleviate any discomfort you may be having such as lower back pain, tension, swelling, leg cramps, and insomnia.

Pregnancy massage can help you with:

Pedicure

During pregnancy, you may also experience changes in your nails; your nails may grow faster and stronger, so it may also be really nice to get them done. It's also possible that your nails may be weaker and break more easily than usual. If that's the case for you, tell your Beauty Therapist so they know to be gentle.

At Stephanies we will only use traditional nail polish. It is recommended to avoid acrylic and gel nails while pregnant. The chemicals in gel nails haven't been well studied.
