Testimonials

Hypnobirthing

Hypnobirthing uses techniques which include breathing, deep relaxation, visualisations and positive affirmations. These techniques help to reduce your levels of stress, anxiety and fear, and so promote the release of the wonder hormones, “endorphins” and “oxytocin”, allowing your body to give birth efficiently and comfortably the way that it is designed to do.

Hypnobirthing gives you the tools you need to release any fear and tension that you may be holding on to that could impact on your having the type of birth that you desire.

Pregnancy

Designed especially to pamper, care and nurture you during this special and exciting time in your life.

Massage has many benefits to help you adjust physically, as well as emotionally, to the changes that you and your body will go through during this time.

The benefits of pregnancy massage are numerous:
  • can help to increase your energy levels
  • reduce stresses during, and after, your pregnancy
  • helps to reduce stress on weight-bearing joints
  • offers relief from muscle cramps, spasms, and myofascial pain, especially in the lower back, neck, hips, and legs
  • increases the blood and lymph circulation which can help reduce and ease any swelling

Baby Massage Courses

LEARN ‘BABY MASSAGE’ THROUGH THE ORIGINAL AND LONGEST RUNNING WORLDWIDE TRAINING PROGRAMME – The International Association of Infant Massage.

Please visit my new dedicated Baby Massage website for details. www.bathbabymassage.co.uk

Deep Tissue Massage

This treatment aims to help release muscle holding patterns and to stretch and lengthen tissue thereby correcting poor postural patterns.

Deep Tissue massage focuses on more specific areas of the body and during your treatment you can expect the use of fingers, thumbs, fists and elbows to be used to apply the needed pressure.

Sports Massage

Sports massage involves massage techniques with related soft tissue techniques and post-treatment advice to manage, manipulate and rehabilitate the various soft tissues of the body.

It can be applied to alleviate a variety of aches and pains, whether they arise in a sporting or recreational context or simply from the stresses of modern life. This treatment also aims to help release muscle holding patterns and to stretch and lengthen tissue thereby correcting poor postural patterns.

Hot Stone Therapy

Hot Stone therapy is a totally harmonising, restoring and rejuvenating treatment for the body where Basalt stones are heated and applied to the body in a super relaxing way.

Hot stone therapy combines traditional massage with the use of smooth, heated basalt stones, which are applied to the body as an extension of the therapists hands. The warmth of these heated stones penetrates muscles and balances the nervous system like no other treatment.

TESTIMONIALS

I was lucky to get a massage with Polly as a birthday gift from my husband when I was 19 weeks pregnant. I have also been very lucky to experience different massages all over the world from Thailand, to Hawaii, to Italy, to London and a few fair places in between these.

I can honestly say that I feel very confident of Polly and her skills at pregnancy massage and I knew I was in safe hands from the very first treatment. As a couple, my husband and I have not had the easiest time getting pregnant and therefore knowing I was with someone fully qualified in pregnancy massage was very important to me. I immediately signed up for a course of 6 massages and have continued to have these sessions with Polly throughout my pregnancy. I’m now 33 weeks and will be seeing Polly right through to the birth of our first child.

Polly has a great combination of providing me with a precious 90 minutes of relaxation each week combined with a massage that really works at all the areas that commonly become strained as part of pregnancy. I always walk away feeling I’ve had a good workout/stretch of the muscles as well as some me time. I know it has been a huge benefit to my pregnancy and at 33 weeks I am still fully mobile, with no fluid retention or swelling. I would urge anyone thinking of pregnancy massage to contact Polly, you won’t regret it and you will definitely feel the benefits to your pregnancy. Thanks again Polly, I can’t wait for you to meet Baby H and begin your Baby Massage course!

I have seen Polly in both my second and third pregnancies in the hope she could offer me some relief from the aches and pains that accompany the latter stages of pregnancy, and also to help me prepare for labour and encourage some movement naturally so I did not go too far overdue. Her antenatal treatments stand out from the crowd for a number of reasons. She is genuinely interested in the individual issues that have brought you to see her and responds to those accordingly. She is a welcome sympathiser and encourager at an often uncomfortable and sometimes psychologically challenging time of a women’s life. And on all occasions I came away having seen her feeling well cared for both physically and mentally.

Her treatments focus on problem areas of the body and she also has invaluable experience in treating pregnant ladies through massage and acupressure helping to prepare and strengthen the body and mind for the challenges of labour. I highly recommend her to all those pregnant ladies out there who need some relief from their out of kilter bodies, some advice and support in preparation for the birth, or just some simple relaxation and ‘me time’ before the wonderful baby chaos begins!

Polly’s baby massage course was actually my 3rd baby massage course, and it was definitely my favourite!

The classes were really informative and structured which I really liked as it really helped the techniques to sink in. The strokes she taught were really quite different to the others I had been taught, and the little parent hand-out massage book you receive has easy to follow diagrams so you can perform the massage confidently at home.

Polly is absolutely lovely and the group became very close. The location was very intimate and homely and I will definitely keep up the massage as my son Paul absolutely loved it. I started the course when he was 6 weeks old so I plan to return for another when he is 6 months + and a very different baby in lots of ways! I also hope to sample some of Polly’s massage as everyone I have spoken to says she is incredible! One of my all time favourite baby courses. We were all very sad when it was finished! We shall all definitely stay in touch. Thank you so much Polly!

The baby massage course I did with Polly has completely changed my little boys sleeping pattern. Before we did the course he wouldn’t sleep at all and cried a lot. After the 2nd week on the course I noticed a huge difference he started to relax and began to sleep for longer. With Polly’s guidance we massaged him every day after bath time and used the techniques Polly showed us to help calm him and relax him. I can’t thank her enough for her patience and help, it’s the best money I spent on my baby, highly recommended.
Amy, Combe Down, Bath

I’m always impressed by Polly’s knowledge and professionalism. My friend recommended her after I became pregnant and started to suffer from back ache. Seeing Polly every week during my pregnancy is my weekly relief from pain and gives me 1 hour of pure blissful me time! Not only that, she always gives me great advice and tips on ways to help relieve my symptoms myself at home in between appointments. I highly recommend her.
