It’s the perfect way to make sure you’re choosing a treatment or product that’s just right for you!
Spotlight On… PURE Spa Pregnancy Massage
Today’s ‘Spotlight On..’ will focus on our Pregnancy Massage, a specially designed massage for pregnant women.
What’s it all about?
As traditional massage is not suitable for pregnant women, our therapists have been specially trained in a unique ‘Pregnancy Massage’ that not only avoids techniques and products that are unsuitable during pregnancy but is specifically tailored to the alternative needs that you may have.
What happens during the treatment? 
When you check in, if it is your first visit to PURE Spa, or you haven’t been for a while, you will be given a consultation card to fill out identifying any illness or allergies you may suffer. You will then meet your therapist who’ll take you to the spa changing rooms where you’ll change into a cosy robe and slippers before waiting in the spa relaxation area.
Your therapist will then collect you and take you to your private spa room where your 
treatment will begin with a relaxing foot ritual. Your feet will be soaked, scrubbed and moisturised while your therapist takes you through a full consultation in order to understand any issues you may have or particular areas where you’d like the massage to concentrate on. Your therapist will then leave the room while you get onto the spa bed and return to begin your massage.
How is it different? 
Most importantly, you won’t be lying on your front during this massage, you’ll be lying on your side with specifically placed pillows providing comfort and support throughout the massage. Your therapist will also avoid pressure on the neck area and stimulating oils and products during the treatment, which can both be harmful during pregnancy, instead using massage techniques, scents and products aimed at aiding relaxation. In particular, we use our Elemis Japanese Camellia Oil which moisturises
dehydrated pregnant skin and aids the appearance of stretch marks. In fact, Victoria Beckham recently revealed that she’s used the oil to prevent stretch marks throughout all 4 of her pregnancies.
The Benefits?
Massage is constantly championed as a positive aid in general health and well being. It can aid back and muscular pain which can be particularly prominent during pregnancy and the relaxation and time out is of proven benefit to stress levels and anxiety, again something which is of particular benefit to pregnancy women. We also believe that it’s important for your own confidence and state of mind to pamper yourself during pregnancy as it can be such a strain on your body.
The Pure Spa Pregnancy Massage is just £70 while a course of 6 gives you one free at £350. The massage is also available as part of our Mother To Be Pamper Package.
