All four are intrinsically inter-linked! When receiving a treatment, all four bodies should be considered. There is no separation. They are integrated and each affects the other. The goal: for you, the client, to leave the treatment room feeling more relaxed, looser, de-stressed, positive and happy.

This hormone when abundant, helps to soften the cervix in preparation for labour and keeps labour moving along. Throughout your pregnancy, normal life continues. You have to work, exercise, look after your other children. And with this comes the everyday tensions, knots, tightness, aches and pains. Therefore you should still get a treatment that will not only help alleviate the soreness but also induce a deep sense of relaxation and comfort!
