No.5 Pregnancy Massage
Intimate + Nurturing
Pregnancy is one of the most exciting and fulfilling but also demanding chapters of a person’s life. Carrying a little human is hard work and an intense physical strain on the body. Our nurturing, pampering pregnancy massage treatment offers either a prenatal massage in the second and third trimesters or a postnatal massage after the little one arrives with one of our pregnancy specialists.
This fantastic self-care massage features full bodywork or focused muscle work, which can alleviate many of the stresses and strains involved at a time when your body is changing, adapting, and adjusting so dramatically.
We strive to create a warm, welcoming, intimate environment where parents-to-be and new parents feel safe and cared for as they’re treated to a well-deserved massage. We offer a variety of special packages, ranging between one and six months, to ensure you’re fully supported during this extra special time.
Our fabulous No. 5 treatment also makes the perfect gift, so do enquire about our massage for new parents gift vouchers.

Prenatal Massage
Growing a little human is hard! Taking time to relax and connect with your body can be deeply beneficial for both your body and mind. Rest assured, the safety and comfort of both mum and baby are always our top priorities. We provide pregnancy massages for anyone over 12 weeks, with specially trained therapists ready to deliver the personalised care you deserve.
Pregnancy massage differs from conventional massage, and thorough knowledge of physiology and pressure points is required. If you have any queries or concerns, you’re more than welcome to discuss them with the therapist before embarking on your pregnancy massage journey.
Is it safe to have a massage during pregnancy?
Yes, massage during pregnancy is safe and highly beneficial, especially from the second trimester onwards. For your safety, we do not offer bodywork during the first trimester. From week 12 onwards, it’s an excellent way to ease muscle tension, reduce stress, and improve circulation as your body adjusts to the unique demands of pregnancy.
Are MASAJ’s therapists trained in pregnancy massage?
Yes, all of MASAJ’s pregnancy massage treatments are delivered by fully qualified therapists who are specifically trained in prenatal and postnatal massage. Working with mums-to-be and new mums requires a specialist level of anatomical knowledge and expertise, which our team is proud to provide.
Postnatal Massage
The human body takes a knock irrespective of the form of delivery. Postnatal massage is perfect for those who have recently given birth. It improves lactation, decreases stress, improves sleep, and can also improve the recovery time of the uterus.
Can postnatal massage help with postnatal depression?
Pregnancy massage helps to increase serotonin and dopamine – our two feel-good happy hormones. Simultaneously it decreases stress hormones such as norepinephrine and cortisol. Prenatal and postnatal massage can improve overall relaxation and well-being as well as reducing depression and anxiety.
What are the benefits?
Aiding physical revovery by relieving back, neck and should pain and pelvic discomfort.
Improving circulation to promote healing and reduce swelling.
Encourage better sleep by increasing serotonin & dopamine and reducing cortisol.
Reclaiming time for yourself in what is a very demanding time.
