In Touch ‘Due Time‘ Treatment
The ‘due time’ treatment is a wonderful experience lasting approximately 2 hours, featuring 90 minutes of hands on treatment time plus education and a goody bag with useful items for the remainder of your pregnancy and birth. The Due Time treatment involves:
- A 90 minute full body pregnancy massage
- Acupressure at selected points associated with fetal positioning, cervical ripening and promoting labour
- A carefully selected aromatherapy blend with essential oils chosen by you
After your treatment you will be taught acupressure and massage techniques to support you through the remainder of your pregnancy and into labour. You will also receive a goody bag to taken home with you. This really is a wonderful experience as you embark on your maternity leave and prepare to meet your new baby very soon.
Suitable for uncomplicated pregnancies from 37 – 42 weeks, if your pregnancy is considered high risk or complex, please contact me to discuss before booking.
Available as a one-off treatment or as part of the Maternity Leave package.
P.S I completely understand that scheduling anything around your due date can be tricky, so if you are unable to make your appointment as baby has other plans, a voucher will be issued to use towards postnatal treatments.

This treatment aims to prepare the body and mind for imminent birth by calming the nervous system and easing tension held in the body. You have a wonderfully relaxing 90 minute full body pregnancy massage, which can reduce stress hormones and increase the production of oxytocin, an essential hormone for labour and birth. The massage will be completed with a bespoke aromatherapy blend, made just for you on the day. Massage techniques will focus on easing any restriction or tension held around the lower back, sacrum and pelvis, which can help to increase your range of motion and means that you and baby may find it easier to get into optimal positions for birth. Acupressure points associated with cervical ripening, fetal positioning and encouraging labour will be stimulated during the massage.
While this treatment is available at The Retreat, and I am happy to see you there if that is your preference, being at home for this treatment, surrounded by your baby items, your birth playlist on in the background and your home comforts nearby can really help to get the oxytocin flowing.
The due time treatment is geared towards those who are ready and waiting to meet their baby, who are close to or past their due date, or who may have been offered a medical induction of labour. If you are full term but would prefer a pregnancy massage without the aromatherapy and acupressure, that’s no problem, you can choose one of the other pregnancy massages which can be completed at any time during the second and third trimesters.
