Pregnancy Aromatherapy Products
Aromatherapy can be used in a range of methods of application. This could look like a pulse roller, an inhalation stick, body oil, balm, or using oils in a diffuser to support mental and physical wellbeing. I am knowledgeable on oil safety during pregnancy and recommend specific oils for whichever objective you would like to support. Using the sense of smell to create a positive association is a very powerful tool and can help support relaxation exercises for birth preparation. Many birthing suites now offer aromatherapy in hospitals and I am more than happy to work with midwives to create the best support for your birth preparation and labour. We go through any contraindications before we create a product for you and make sure it is safe and totally bespoke to you.
Pregnancy Aromatherapy facial (second trimester)
Using bespoke essential oils and luxurious carrier oils to support the client's skin type we work to create a deeply relaxing, nourishing and rejuvenating experience. After cleansing and toning the skin I use a range of beautifully natural skin care products such as Neil's Yard and Tropic Skincare to support the skin's needs and make it glow. I incorporate a range of techniques such as lymphatic drainage, pressure points, manual lift and I use the Gua Sha to help the circulation of your skin relax the facial muscles. A truly safe blissful treatment for any mother to be!
Pregnancy Holistic facial (second trimester)
Similar to the Aromatherapy treatment but without using the essential oils this treatment is incredibly restorative and deeply relaxing as well as helping the skin feel nourished, rejuvenated, and cared for! This facial is holistic as we focus on the client's whole wellbeing, incorporating a shoulder and neck massage to finish this blissful treatment off! A heavenly way to switch off and relax for any mother to be!
Pregnancy Aromatherapy full body massage
For this blissful mother-to-be treatment we choose up to three oils that are safe to use during pregnancy and the client feels drawn to. When choosing the oils we bare in mind which areas we wish to support and if we want to create an uplifting, balancing, or calming effect. This massage is incredibly gentle, safe, and nurturing. I make sure the client feels heard and has all of her needs met while allowing her to fully rest and relax. A wonderful way to celebrate pregnancy and give the mother to be some well-deserved rest and care!
Pregnancy massage
A beautifully gentle, safe, and relaxing mother-to-be treatment that is soothing, balancing, and rejuvenating. It uses long strokes which are very calming for the nervous system and release aches, pains, and tensions while being incredibly gentle. A wonderful treatment for any mother-to-be who needs to create a little space and practice self-care.

At the beginning of the session, we choose around 3 essential oils to which you most feel drawn and I will suggest a blend to support your physical and mental wellbeing the best.
We seem to be naturally drawn to the smells of the oils which our body and mind need the most on that day.
By blending several complementing oils we create a synergy of healing therapeutic properties of these powerfully medicinal plant-derived oils. Essential oils have each got their own unique benefits and they can support a range of conditions and help calm, balance, uplift, or stimulate the body and mind.
Aromatherapy Full Body
Aromatherapy full body massage is one of those incredibly luxurious and deeply relaxing treatments which leaves you feeling like you’re floating at the end of it. An incredibly effective treatment that calms our bodies and helps relieve stress, tension, and aches or pains. A beautifully aromatic experience that feels like a comfort blanket wrapping around you and helping you to melt away any tension and anxieties.
Aromatherapy Back Massage
Using bespoke essential oils blended in a luxurious carrier oil we focus on any areas of tension within your whole back and neck area. This treatment uses techniques of lymphatic drainage, pressure points, and soothing, slow movements. Pressure can be adjusted to your individual needs. An excellent treatment to create deep and restorative relaxation for the body, mind, and soul.
Aromatherapy facial + shoulder, neck, and scalp massage
A rejuvenating, deeply meditative, and indulgent treatment, this treatment will help relieve tension and stress you may be carrying in your head, neck, and shoulders. One of the most common areas for stress to manifest and can often lead to tension headaches and neck stiffness and pain.
It is one of the most relaxing treatments you can have using a range of methods such as drainage, manual lifting techniques, and the Gua Sha to create a totally blissful and holistic experience.
Together we choose a bespoke essential oil of your choice to create the desired therapeutic effect to support your skin, body, mind, and soul.

This treatment aims to work deeply into tight and knotty muscle fibres all across your shoulders, neck, around the base of your skull and head. An absolutely heavenly treatment and my personal favourite! There are so many nerve endings on our scalp, it feels incredibly relaxing to have this area worked into. Stress very commonly manifests and accumulates in the shoulders and neck area causing a lot of tightness and discomfort which may also contribute to causing tension headaches. This massage is excellent for showing yourself some love and care by paying attention to these areas of your body. I use a range of breathing and stretching technique for you to use at home as a preventative measure.

Swedish massage uses a range of techniques with the aim of releasing muscular tension. By warming and lengthening the muscle fibres we work to ease tightness and knots. This is a stimulating treatment which uses varying amounts of pressure depending on your preferences. Every treatment is bespoke as I aim to hone into your unique needs and we discuss which areas you would like me to focus on. A very beneficial treatment to ease specific areas of tension and great for post exercise.

This session is designed to teach birth partners massage techniques to aid relaxation during labour.
-
Reflexology aims to create homeostasis for body and mind. It uses the concept that the feet, hands and face act as maps, mirroring the rest of the body and by stimulating, balancing and working the reflex points blockages can be released in the rest of the body. An incredibly relaxing treatment!
-
Reiki is an ancient energy healing practice working with the belief of balancing the shakras in the body. It is a non touch treatment and has been proven to lower heart rate and blood pressure. I incorporate yoga nidra, guided meditation and breathing techniques to create an incredibly nurturing and relaxing environment. Great for anyone wanting to try something a little different.

Item description
Meet Kate
“I integrate my own experiences into the work with my clients. I meet you with empathy and use science based tools to help you tackle stress.”
Although I now work mainly as a complementary therapist, my background is in the Arts. I came to wanting to retrain as a complementary therapist after experiencing periods of intense stress and anxiety. Complementary therapies really helped me to identify where stress and anxiety show up in the body and how to calm these responses. I am passionate about passing on what I have learnt in a creative and integrative way to help you take back control and empower you. I am extremely passionate about helping people relax!
Our bodies have amazing healing abilities, sometimes all they need is a little help to brake the cycle of stress.
When we experience prolonged periods of negative stress our minds and bodies respond accordingly. These responses often lead to physical symptoms, the stress response becomes felt in our bodies. It is my aim to help you step out of the negative loop of stress and find back to a calmer, centred place.
Touch as a therapeutic tool I deliberately and consciously use touch as a therapeutic tool to help your body relax and create deeply restorative experiences. I strive to provide a safe space without judgment for you to rest in and help you find calm. I hone in on how your body responds, which areas need more focus and tailor my techniques accordingly. We can mix and match any treatments, just discuss any questions with me and we will make it work for you!
“When I work with you over a period of time we will regularly check-in to reflect on your progress and changing needs.”
Glowing Review
““The best massage / aromatherapy experience I’ve ever had!
Kate’s kind and gentle nature and attention to detail made the experience so relaxing. She made me feel so comfortable and went through everything in detail with me before hand. Kate has a truest magical way of making you feel not just relaxed but like you’ve come home to your own body and self, she has a really calming energy that you can just feel in the room. I didn’t want to leave and I can’t wait to go back!
She is adaptable to exactly how I wanted the massage, always checking pressure and technique to see if it was ok for me and really helped my shoulder which I’d been having problems with for the past year.
I can’t wait to go back! If I could have given 10 stars I would have!”
“I visited Käthe for a pregnancy massage and facial when I was in need of some relaxation and because I was getting hormonal headaches every day. Käthe made me feel comfortable, safe, and super relaxed. The day after the massage was the first in a week that I woke up without a headache! Highly recommend Käthe for a lovely and calming pregnancy massage and facial.”
“Kate is so lovely, welcoming and relaxed. Really makes you feel at ease and also like you're special - not just one in a long list of clients for the day. The pregnancy massage is fantastic and she is happy to tailor it to whatever works best for you. Really highly recommend! Thanks! :)”
