Massage

Massage therapy draws on a number of techniques from many traditions, combining them with the massage therapist’s natural sensitivity to meet the needs of each individual. This means whether you are looking for deep relaxation, relief from pain or to be left feeling revitalised and renewed, a massage treatment is perfectly suited to you. 

Holistic Swedish Massage benefits our bodies in many ways, but primarily it reduces muscle tension, improves circulation, increases joint stability and flexibility, and improves skin tone.  

Holistic Massage, offered at Nest of Nourishment, goes beyond the physical benefits listed above. It offers a safe space to soothe and quieten a busy mind and reconnect with oneself. This type of massage reduces stress hormones, improves mood, and lessens anxiety, whilst positively influencing sleep.

Pregnancy Massage is a soothing and relaxing treatment designed to ease muscular and joints pains, as well as reduce fluid retention. The appointment offers an opportunity to step out from busyness of everyday life and build a deeper connection with one's body and baby. Each treatment is individual and includes advice on benefitial yoga practice, posture and self-massage.

Ayurvedic tradition sees massage as an essential part of healthy pregnancy and preparation for birth. A warm oil massage is particularly benfitial during this time. Research shows that people who receive massage while pregnant may have easier birth,  a reduced chance of postnatal depression and have positive postnatal recovery. 

Only organic products (oils and essential oils) are used to assist the treatments.

Closing of the Bones –Postpartum Therapeutic Rebozo Massage

The Closing of the Bones is a nurturing, full-body postpartum therapy designed to support physical recovery, emotional grounding, and a gentle return to self after childbirth or major life transitions. Rooted in traditional midwifery practices and reimagined for the modern world, this deeply restorative session honours the journey into parenthood while giving mothers the care, attention, and healing they deserve.

What to Expect

A Closing of the Bones session takes place in a calm, private environment where comfort and emotional safety come first. Each session is tailored to the individual and typically includes:

Warm Welcome & Consultation
We begin with a thoughtful conversation about your birth experience, current physical state, emotional needs, and personal intentions. This ensures that every step is guided by consent, comfort, and clarity

Rebozo Rocking & Support
Using a traditional woven cloth, the body is rhythmically rocked, lifted, and held. This technique provides a sense of containment and grounding, symbolically supporting the body after the openness of pregnancy and birth.

Belly Wrapping / Hip Binding
Soft cloths are wrapped around the hips and abdomen in a firm, supportive embrace. This ritual “closing” helps the body reconnect after pregnancy, while offering pelvic stability, comfort, and emotional reassurance.

Rest & Integration
Each session ends with quiet, uninterrupted rest. A warm tea and optional aftercare suggestions help extend the healing experience into the days that follow.

Who It’s For

Although traditionally offered postpartum, modern Closing of the Bones can support anyone experiencing:

  • Birth recovery

  • Postpartum overwhelm

  • Miscarriage, abortion, or fertility loss

  • Adoption or surrogacy journeys

  • Pelvic trauma

  • Emotional transitions or major life change

 

More than a massage, Closing of the Bones is an invitation to pause, feel held, and reconnect with your body and spirit. It is a sacred moment of nurturing—something all mothers deserve and few ever receive.
