What is Pregnancy Massage?
Protecting your body and baby during pregnancy is incredibly important. From dietary restrictions to lifestyle changes – there’s a lot to keep in mind, and massage is no different!
Our specialist pregnancy massage is aligned exactly with the individual needs of those in their second and third trimesters, using a gentle, approved approach and safe, natural products to ease unpleasant pregnancy symptoms such as aching backs and swollen legs whilst providing some much-needed relaxation.
With Lana’s Holistic Centre, the intensity and focus points of your maternity treatment are under your complete control. Whatever your preferences or specific goals, we’ll design a bespoke treatment around them.
Is Pregnancy Massage Safe?
The NHS states that pregnancy massage is a safe prenatal therapy when performed by qualified, experienced, and knowledgeable therapists.
Lana’s Holistic Centre’s bespoke pregnancy massage sessions are designed specifically for expectant parents - meaning only the safest techniques and products are used throughout. Our certified massage therapists use gentle stroking and kneading on a set of carefully targeted areas including the head, back, and legs - keeping clients comfortable on their side to minimise pressure on the vena cava.

Our Massage Philosophy
Our philosophy is at the heart of each and every one of our massage services - guiding us in strengthening both bodies and minds, day in, and day out.
Meeting Needs
No two of our clients are the same - so why should our services be? Each of our treatments, from recovery to relaxation, is driven solely by your distinct needs. Taking into account your areas of concern, preferences, and goals, our philosophy breaks the mould of generic massage menus - delivering tailored treatment plans and products perfectly suited to you and you alone.
Improving Lives
We understand that the effects of pain and discomfort go well beyond just their source. When our expert massage therapists get to work, they know they’re not just kneading knots in a tight back or pulling tension from overused quads - they’re helping a passionate marketing executive craft campaigns without pain, or a young football player pursue their sporting dreams.
Therapy Process
Booking
Our online booking system makes securing a massage appointment easier than ever. Simply create or log in to your online account, select a slot suited to your schedule, and make your reservation - from anywhere, at any time. If you’d prefer to get in touch over the phone or in person, you’re more than welcome to do so.
Form
After confirming your appointment date and time, we’ll begin the process of tailoring your treatment - after all, bespoke is best. Your therapist will provide you with a simple form, using which you’ll be able to detail your medical history and points of concern for review.
Consultation
It’s the day of your massage. Before your therapist begins, they’ll complete a short, in-person consultation; discussing your form details, alongside your needs, preferences, and requirements. After building a complete picture of you as an individual, they’ll adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
Treatment
Lana’s Holistic Centre’s exclusive massage treatments are designed to deliver an individualised experience for the best possible results. From the first to the last minute of your appointment, you’ll enjoy targeted, holistic techniques balancing relaxation and renewal.
Review
Post-treatment, your massage therapist may offer advice regarding your personal circumstances. Whether you require post-massage tips on how to boost mobility at home, or ideas for reducing tension and improving general physical well-being, they’ll be happy to assist.

Clients’ Stories
Since opening our Ipswich & Bury St Edmunds massage therapy studios, we’ve helped hundreds of happy clients relax, rejuvenate, and renew with the power of bespoke healing treatments
I had a brilliant deep tissue massage at Lana's Holistic Centre. The therapist was warm and welcoming. I suffer with tight muscles in my back, and shoulder area. I've tried a few places recently, however, the treatment at Lana's was the best and worked a treat. The centre is easy to find and there is free parking up to an hour nearby by. I'd definitely recommend Lana's.

Had been suffering from some back pain and on enquiry I managed to get a same day appointment. Location was easy to get to, bright and clean. The service was fantastic, and everything was explained. I came away feeling much better and results have lasted. Will definitely go back and would recommend.

I booked in to get my back seen to as I'd been suffering quite badly. I can honestly say that after an hour's treatment I have never had such good results before! I left feeling very relaxed with lots more movement and significantly less pain than I had when I arrived. Chris was very courteous and knowledgeable, explaining the different muscle groups and their function. The treatment rooms were hygienic and welcoming, will definitely be coming back!

Lana's deep tissue work is exceptional. As an older man with chronic tightness in shoulders, back and neck it means a lot to have skillful, deep pressure which gets to the roots of the pain and tension. I also gained more understanding of the causes and how to self-help.

How much is pregnancy massage?
How much your pregnancy massage costs will depend on factors such as your chosen massage centre, their specialisms, and even your location. For example, a pregnancy massage in London may cost more than one in a rural Northern town. Average prices across the UK currently sit at about £70 for 60 minutes.
At Lana’s Holistic Centre, we’re proud to offer 1-hour pregnancy massage sessions for £60 – performed by experienced massage therapists in our Ipswich-based wellness centre.

How far along can you get a pregnancy massage?
When it comes to pregnancy massage, keeping your body and bump safe is top priority – meaning there are some restrictions regarding how far along you are. Our expert massage therapists recommend avoiding massage treatments all together during the first trimester of pregnancy – and indulging as much as your practitioner recommends in your second and third.
Whilst the vast majority of expectant parents can receive massage treatments until their due date, it’s best to double check with both your provider and midwife as to the safest frequency for your personal needs.
How safe is pregnancy massage?
Pregnancy massage is regarded by the vast majority of healthcare practitioners to be a safe service – however, it’s hugely important that you select a massage provider with extensive pregnancy massage experience, and the knowledge needed to keep you and your baby safe. For example, throughout the massage, your therapist must keep you in a comfortable position avoiding excessive pressure on the vena cava, and the freeing of blood clots.
On a more general basis, those living with general or gestational diabetes, morning sickness, high blood pressure, blood clots, preeclampsia, or other complications should typically avoid massage – or consult their midwife prior to booking.
How often can I get a massage while pregnant?
The frequency of your pregnancy massage schedule is generally down to you and your individual circumstances, healthcare needs, and preferences. After passing the first trimester, you’re free to have as many prenatal massages as you wish in your second and third trimester as long as you’re in good health – however, our clients see the most benefit from monthly massages in the second trimester, massages twice monthly for the first half of the third trimester, and massages weekly in the run-up to their due date as the body is put under more strain.
This is by no means an overarching guide – in order to establish the best possible frequency for your needs, we recommend calling in for a free consultation, talking to your midwife, and re-assessing your needs on a regular basis.
What to wear pregnancy massage?
Pregnancy massages are centred on your comfort and relaxation, meaning we’ll only ever require you to undress to a level you’re comfortable with. The majority of our clients dress down to their underwear and are provided with towels for coverage whilst their therapist focuses on specific areas.
If you’d like to wear clothes during your appointment, you’re absolutely welcome to do so. We recommend choosing a soft, lightweight fabric easy for our massage therapists to perform their work through.
