Complementary Therapies at The Wholistic Midwife
“Support for Your Body, Mind & Spirit – The Wholistic Way”
A gentle blend of evidence-based care and holistic wisdom to support you, and your family, in pregnancy, postnatal life and beyond.
Complementary therapies work alongside traditional care to bring balance to your physical, emotional and spiritual health. Whether you're preparing for birth, navigating motherhood, or beyond, these therapies help your body find its natural rhythm again.
REIKI
Gentle energy healing for deep rest, emotional balance and energetic reset.
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that works on the energetic body to support healing, release emotional tension, and promote a deep sense of calm. It’s a hands-off (or light-touch) treatment where you simply lie down, fully clothed, and allow your body and mind to enter a peaceful, restorative state.
Reiki creates space for your body to reset and your mind to soften.
During pregnancy, when your emotions and energy can feel heightened or scattered, Reiki offers a peaceful, grounding experience. It’s a beautiful way to reconnect with yourself and your baby.
As your Reiki practitioner and midwife, I bring a nurturing, intuitive approach to each session—drawing on both ancient healing traditions and my clinical knowledge of the body.
PREGNANCY MASSAGE
Soothing, nurturing touch designed especially for your changing body.
Pregnancy is a time of incredible change—physically, emotionally, and hormonally. While beautiful, it can also bring discomfort, fatigue, and a sense of being out of sync with yourself.
Pregnancy massage offers you a moment to pause, be cared for, and reconnect with your body. Using gentle, tailored techniques and positioning that is safe for each stage of pregnancy, this massage helps release tension, ease discomfort, and support emotional balance—leaving you feeling lighter, calmer, and more like yourself again.
To enhance the experience, aromatherapy is available as part of your treatment. I use carefully selected, pregnancy-safe essential oils that support your needs—whether that’s to relax, uplift, ease nausea or relieve stress.
Each blend is bespoke, and always optional. If you’d rather skip scents altogether, that’s absolutely fine too—this is your time, your way.
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Subtle, deeply calming bodywork to help you unwind, rebalance and restore.
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on treatment that supports your body to release tension, regulate your nervous system, and return to a state of balance.
Using light touch it works with the body’s natural rhythms to create space for healing, calm and clarity.
Perfect during pregnancy, postnatally, or in any time of transition, CST helps you feel more centred, connected and aligned—physically, emotionally and energetically.
CST helps gently restore alignment without manipulation, encouraging your body to find its own natural balance.
It creates more space and flow in the body—often bringing significant relief from aches, tension, or that feeling of being just off.
From Worn Out to Rebalanced – Let’s Get You There
You don’t have to carry the weight of pregnancy, motherhood, or healing on your own—physically or emotionally. The complementary therapies I offer at The Wholistic Midwife aren’t about fluff or faff—they’re about real transformation.
Maybe you’re feeling stretched thin, achy, disconnected, or just plain exhausted. These therapies are designed to help you shift from survival mode to a place of calm, connection, and strength.
Whether it’s the deep reset of craniosacral therapy, the gentle release of pregnancy massage, or the energetic realignment of Reiki, each treatment is tailored to support you as a whole person—not just a list of symptoms. This is about finding your centre again, easing the mental load, and helping your body feel safe and supported enough to let go.
Many of my clients come in feeling tense, anxious or overwhelmed—and leave feeling grounded, lighter, and more in tune with themselves and their baby.
So if you’re ready to stop pushing through and start feeling well again, this is your sign. Book in with me and let’s get you back to feeling like you. You’re not just growing a baby or recovering from birth—you’re becoming a whole new version of yourself. Let’s make sure she feels amazing.
