Hi folks,
need some advice.
my friend, who is 6 months pregnant wants to have a massage / foot massage. I've only done head massage so cant give her any advice.
Would anyone be able to tell me if this would be harmfull to her, give her any advice or tips, and are there oils etc you would recommend. That way she can have information at hand when she makes her booking / choice of therapist.
Thanks in advance
DC

Hi
The only aroma oil recomended for pregnancy is mandarin. A gentle back massage should be ok although the lady would probably have to sit on a chair or lay on her side on a couch (obvious really cos of the bump)
Hope this helps

Hi
Find a therapist who has done a course in prenatal massage (if you are near Berkshire let me know I may be able to help).....no problems having a full body massage (and absolutely wonderful for the pregnant mum!) but make sure you get a qualified therapist.....generally i would avoid using any essential oils but mandarin is known to be safe as are a couple of others.....any questions let us know.
