Massage during Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings with it a variety of side effects, some less pleasant than others. All pregnant women can expect to experience at least a little stiffness and muscular tension during their pregnancy as their uterus expands to accommodate their growing baby. Fortunately there is a simple and effective way to not only treat some of the side effects of pregnancy but also leave you feeling great. Massage therapy during pregnancy can often relieve many of the common side effects of pregnancy, whether you suffer from backaches, headaches, edema or other pregnancy related problems.
Pregnancy is a tumultuous period for a woman’s mind and body. Any woman who has been pregnant can sympathize with the mental and physical fatigue associated with being pregnant. Not only does a woman experience physical changes, she also experiences mental changes as well.
Massage has been known to calm many of the aches and pains associated with pregnancy such as sciatica, swelling, back & neck pain, and stomach upset. Prenatal massage has also been shown to improve physical discomforts by encouraging circulation and by stretching the muscles and joints to their full range of motion to improve skin elasticity and body tone. Studies show that pregnant women who receive regular prenatal massages are more at ease - furthermore relaxing the fetus inside their womb.
Back pain is one of the more common side effects of pregnancy. Back pain can continue throughout pregnancy and even after, if you have to carry around other small children you may find your symptoms exasperated during pregnancy. Fortunately massage can help relieve the symptoms of back pain associated with muscular tension, it is a popular complimentary therapy, when choices for pain relief such as medication, are often limited.
Here are just a few of the other benefits prenatal massage has to offer:
- Prenatal massage helps relieve edema or swelling by stimulating circulation throughout the body.
- Leg massage can help reduce leg cramps and swelling in the legs.
- Massage is very beneficial for relaxing anxiety during pregnancy.
- Massage can help promote more restful sleep and help prevent pregnancy related insomnia.
- Pregnancy massage may relax your baby, particularly if you have your abdomen gently massaged.
Toward the end of your pregnancy you might consider a prenatal massage to relax you during labour or even help strengthen your contractions!
Before signing up for a massage you might check in with your healthcare provider to be sure your doctor approves massage in your condition.

Birth, Miscarriage & Abortion
The processes of Birth, Miscarriage and Abortion can quite often generate many disempowering feelings for women, including guilt, shame, inadequacy, failure, pain, discomfort, disconnection, isolation, fear & self-doubt.
My goal is to aid women to feel empowered through the most vulnerable, powerful and memorable moments of their lives. Through my own post pregnancy experiences I felt there was a real lack of understanding and acceptance around the broad range of emotions and pressures that women undergo during these extremely vulnerable and life changing times. My desire is to provide women with a sacred space where they can feel acknowledged & honoured for all thoughts, expressions and emotions that arise at this time and to help transform & cleanse any pain, trauma or wounding that has occurred within these situations.
Providing nurturing support and using extensive healing techniques to help restore the body to a state of balance & harmony can allow for a woman’s naturalness to be revealed and honoured in all circumstances & environments, offering relief and acceptance for all involved.

Swedish Massage
The main purpose of Swedish Massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Some other benefits include shortening recovery time from muscular strain, increased circulation without increased heart load, stretching of ligaments and tendons, skin stimulation and soothing of the nervous system. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested as part of a regular program for stress management.

Deep Tissue Massage
the purpose of Deep Tissue Massage is to unstick the fibres of the muscles and release both toxins and deeply held tension points. Specific hand positions and strokes are used to respond to various tissues while breath and movement techniques are employed to release muscular congestion. It helps to loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. It is both corrective and therapeutic. It is beneficial for many physical problems, including sports injuries and chronic pain. Because it works very deeply, emotional issues can also be addressed, when these have been stored in the body.

Testimonials
Nicole is a therapist of therapists! Her knowledge, bodywork, craft-womenship, and skill is of high quality. My experience with Nicole has always been phenomenal. She 'knows' the exact location of disharmony within my body whether it is caused by physical, mental or emotional stress. As a registered midwife & bodyworker of 15 years I can also highly recommend Nicole at Sunfyre for essential pregnancy pampering and massage. Anyone who receives bodywork from Nicole will be experiencing a massage of a lifetime. It will be one that you'll never forget and will leave you coming back for more! R. E. Di Ré
I have been getting massages regularly for the past fifteen years due to some injuries and stress. When I first came to Australia ten years ago it took me quite some time to find someone really good, so I went to quite a few. But after my first massage with Nicole, I was hooked. She is, quite simply, the best. I regularly go to her since I can rest assured that it will be a great massage. She intuitively knows just the right pressure ( even if its hard and deep) to release deep seated tension. Or, if I just need to relax, her Kahuna massage is fantastic. I noticed that after her massages, I feel not only relaxed physically, but I feel lighter and more energetic for days. All in all, getting a massage from Nicole is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. Better yet if someone gives it to you! Sirrah
