This is Nicole's story... "I used to have a massage from time to time to relax my over-worked and painful muscles. I knew that being pregnant would put more stress on my body and, combined with my work as a dental surgeon, it would be quite a challenge for me to carry on working until the last month of pregnancy. I did not know at that point that there was a special kind of massage for pregnant women available. A colleague of mine, who was pregnant a month ahead, highly recommended Julia to me. She said it was brilliant! She loved it
I hoped, especially, for relief for my lower and upper back and shoulders, but I got even more out of it. First of all, Julia managed to get all the tensions out of my painful muscle areas. She used different techniques, which really impressed me - far more gentle but doubly efficient and the use of pillows made it very cosy and allowed me to totally relax. I did not expect to receive hip pain, which started within my last month of pregnancy, especially at night time. Julia found a magic way to release it by stretching the leg in a special position, combined with gentle massage and I am still using this particular stretch at night to relieve the pain if it appears. Since then, I've not had it again in the morning while walking. Furthermore, due to our regular sessions (every other week and at the end weekly), I had the feeling that, even with the strain of being pregnant, my muscles never returned to the painful and cramped state that they were in before my pregnancy. I was impressed by the benefits of relaxation and gentle "me time" I gained in Julia's massage sessions. Thank you very much, Julia, for your help and advice on all sorts of pregnancy related problems. You are really taking care of your customers. I loved to see your interest in their whole being. I got so much more out of your massage sessions than I ever expected."
