How We Can Help
EXTERNAL
BODYWORK
Gentle Alignment for Pregnancy Comfort and Optimal Birth Positioning
Our external bodywork is designed to ease soft tissue tension and promote relaxation, paving the way for greater comfort during pregnancy. By creating a more spacious and supportive environment in the pelvis, this work helps your baby find the most ideal pre-labour position.
This transformative approach is at the heart of our Pregna-Ease™, LabourFlow™, and PostHarmony™ sessions.
What to Expect During Your Session:
Structural Insights: Visual assessments to address potential imbalances in areas like the ribs, hips, or sacrum.
Baby's Position Check: If pregnancy, we perform gentle abdominal palpation to understand your baby’s alignment.
Relieving Tension: Focused trigger point pressure to release muscle and ligament tightness.
Fascia Care: Specialized fascial releases to improve mobility and fascia flow.
Mind-Body Connection: Nervous system support can be an integral part of understanding pain and sub-optimal fetal positions. We use fascia based work to understand the emotions held in the body and find different ways to help you understand them. This includes discussion of thoughts/memories, guided meditations and breath-work to deepen relaxation and support your emotional well-being. (We only ever talk about what you’re comfortable with.)
INTERNAL
BODYWORK
Gentle Release to Unlock Space and Comfort for Birth
Our internal bodywork focuses on gently exploring and releasing tension within the pelvic structures through the vagina. This deeply intentional approach is invaluable for addressing persistent discomfort in pregnancy and postpartum, optimising baby positioning, and creating a softer more open space for your baby’s journey through birth.
We understand that this work can feel vulnerable, which is why we take every step slowly, working within your comfort and emotional boundaries. Gabrielle ensures a compassionate and supportive environment, guiding you every step of the way to help your body release tension safely and effectively.
For the best results, we recommend starting with at least one or two external bodywork session. This allows us to establish trust, address full body tension points, not just pelvic tension, and enhance your comfort for this deeper release work.
Your Session Includes:
Tension Point Release: Using one or two fingers, we gently explore and release tension in the pelvic space.
Mindful Connection: Nervous system support can be an integral part of understanding persistant pain and sub-optimal fetal positions. We use fascia based work to understand the emotions held in the pelvis and find different ways to help you understand them. This includes discussion of thoughts/memories, guided meditations and breath-work to deepen relaxation and support your emotional well-being. We only ever talk about what you’re comfortable with.)
POSTPARTUM RELEASE WORK
Our postpartum release bodywork focuses on reducing post birth tensions and softening abdominal/perineal scars to restore mobility, reduce discomfort, and release tension. This specialised work is a continuation of both our Pregna-Ease™ and LabourFlow™ sessions, supporting the healing of mind and body.
If you’re experiencing any of the following, this transformative work can help you find relief and improve your comfort during sessions:
Cesarean scars
Perineal scars (This involves internal pelvis release work)
Post birth aches e.g. Tailbone pain, back ache.
Continuation of pregnancy pain
Nervous system support
This work involves:
Intuitive trigger point and fascial release techniques to address tissue tension and imbalances.
Guided nervous system support and breathwork to support your emotional state and create a safe, nurturing environment for healing.
