Pregnancy Massage Bucks is run by experienced massage therapist Julie Hart. I am able to give you the very best care and support as you experience the journey of becoming a parent.
I am registered with the CNHC (Complimentary & Natural Healthcare Council), the UK’s voluntary regulator for complimentary health practitioners, set up with government funding and support to help people find a therapist that they can trust. I also belong to the Complimentary Therapists Association, a leading professional association representing complimentary therapists in the UK and Ireland.
I am available during the week Monday to Friday. Please see below for the specific times I can offer treatments.
I have been privileged to experience first-hand the incredible and powerful benefits of a listening, caring touch during massage therapy. My desire is to give to you some of what I have been so fortunate to receive.
Being a part of the journey into parenthood is truly an honour and a joy! Incorporating aspects of my training and experience, along with a listening touch, my aim is to bring to your body just what it needs and to leave your mind and body in an ultimate state of relaxation.

Pregnancy massage is a natural way to support your emotional and physical well-being throughout all trimesters, complimenting the medical care that you will receive from your chosen health practitioners.

The third trimester is often the most physically demanding phase of pregnancy. Your baby’s weight is increasing and you may find that your posture is less balanced and that your energy levels vary. You may be focusing increasingly on the birth and motherhood.
Bodywork during this trimester may be beneficial to:
Whilst medically the post-natal (also referred to as postpartum) period is defined as the six weeks following the delivery of the placenta, in reality the rate of recovery varies considerably from mother to mother.

There is commonly a feeling that you must achieve the best of everything – balancing family, social pressures, home and work – allowing little time to rest and look after yourself. I will support you post-natally from the birth of your baby to the end of the first year.
Having treatment with me during your postnatal period may bring you the following benefits:
Your treatment time will be focused entirely upon your needs – there is no massage ‘formula’ to follow.
