    Pregnancy Massage
    Freshly picked flowers for your foot bath. We love to nurture the pregnant women visiting Lakshmi Ayurveda

    Our trained pregnancy massage therapists begin the treatment with a warm, grounding foot bath. After the foot bath you will be comfortably positioned and warm Ayurvedic oils will be applied to your body, relieving tension and helping you deeply relax.

    The pregnancy massage helps to bring balance to Vata dosha. Balancing Vata dosha is the most highly recommended Ayurvedic tip when pregnant.

    Balancing Vata dosha can be difficult with a high stimulus and response lifestyle. Therefore, cultivating more gentle, calming and nurturing practices will help to bring further balance ✨

    We suggest all women receive regular massage after finishing their first trimester. Why after the first trimester? Massage often stimulates the downward flow of Vata. During the early stages of pregnancy, we want to prevent excessive downward flow.

    However, we do recommend pregnant women continue to gently apply oil to their body during the first trimester. This is beneficial for balancing Vata dosha and relaxing the nervous system

    Looking to book in for yourself or a loved one? Bookings available via the link in bio.

    We wish you a beautiful day ☀️
