      <image:title>Massage Therapy - Prenatal Massages</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pregnancy is a remarkable journey. Prenatal massage focuses on the special needs of you mamas-to-be as your body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy, nurturing your body and mind using techniques that are safe and beneficial for you and your baby. Prenatal massage benefits all of your body’s systems, improving circulation, easing pregnancy discomfort and promoting deep relaxation, resulting in improved sleep. It also relieves depression and anxiety, helping the mama-to-be prepare for labour. After an initial consultation and assessment, treatments are done on a side lying position to help reduce the pressure on the vena cava, which can impact the blood flow to mother and baby and if appropriate, a professional pregnancy cushion is available for those who prefers lying on a prone position. With the help of a bolstering system an ideal posture for your comfort, safety and relaxation is achieved. The massage can be carried out from the first day to the last day of pregnancy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Massage Therapy - Postpartum Massages</image:title>
      <image:caption>The postpartum period is a delicate time for a new parent. After delivery a your physical body goes through a tremendous shift and daily life is more demanding with caring for an infant combined with sleep deprivation. In some cultures postpartum massage helps ease aches, pains, stress, fatigue, and postpartum depression. It promotes relaxation, helping new mamas to sleep better. It also helps the body return to its pre-pregnancy state and improves blood circulation. Overall, postnatal massage promotes a new parent's emotional, mental and physical wellbeing. The massage can be arranged with the baby close to you so there will be time allowances for baby cuddles. Better yet, arrange a time when your partner is home to mind the baby while you have time to yourself. Traditional Malay postpartum massage care packages to aid in further healing are also available. This is an mother focused package that honours you as a new parent and your birth journey. A large part of this treatment is focused on warmth and restoring blood circulation and womb health. Please enquire with me directly for prices and availability.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Doula Support - Postpartum Doula Support</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Birth of a Mother Planning ahead for the postpartum period allows you to feel organised, look forward to and enjoy this transformational time together as a new family. What does the ideal postpartum period look like to you? Perhaps you’ll need a nurturing meal, or some gentle advice, a comforting massage, or just an extra pair of hands around your home. By pre-booking me as your postpartum doula, you can be assured I’ll be there to make sure you are both fed, supported, comforted as you step into your new roles as parents. I promise to work with and for you and your growing family and help you prioritise slowing down, healing, and whole-person centered care. It Takes a Village Will birth go to plan? In most cases, it does not! I have years of experience in taking care of mothers and helping new families adjust to their new lives and would love to help nurture you and your growing family as you navigate your new roles together. Traditionally, these caregiving roles we were held by immediate family members who were living close by. However, as our lives become more fast paced and global, the option to involve family may not be available and building up that new network (i.e. your village) takes time. This is where I can step in and pamper you with the care that you thoroughly deserve. The postpartum period needs to be treated as a special time, when women deserve extra care. Your mind and body are engaged in deep and important work that transverses the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. This is your time to prioritise rest and healing. When you hire me as your postpartum doula, you’ll receive my non-judgemental support as I guide you towards a positive and memorable postpartum experience.</image:caption>
