I will explore massage techniques and the emotional, physical and spiritual benefits that follow.<br /><br />I am a Remedial Massage Therapist with a particular interest in massage in the childbearing years. This area covers pre-conception, pregnancy, birth and the breastfeeding and mothering that follows. I have always been fascinated by the fecund form of women, the process of birth and early parenting and bonding. I am a trained birth attendant (or Doula) with a love of undisturbed birth.<br /><br />I would love you to share your experiences of bodywork, pregnancy and birth.<br />Heidi<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9105291797284367718-2620067655090700763?l=pregnancybodywork.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04036233521832383618noreply@blogger.com2
