There are absolutely areas where we need to work more gently during pregnancy.

But that doesn’t mean your whole massage has to feel like you’re barely being touched.

Your back, neck and shoulders can often take more pressure.

Your hips, which can be doing a LOT of work as your body changes can often really benefit from more focused work too.

Other areas need a gentler approach, and we adapt the pressure depending on your stage of pregnancy, how your body is feeling and what feels comfortable for you that day.

So no, we’re not doing an intense deep-tissue treatment across your whole body.

But we’re also not afraid to properly work into the areas that are tight, tired and asking for a bit of attention.

Pregnancy massage should feel safe and supportive but it should also feel like your body has actually been looked after 💗

Your shoulders sit a little higher.

Your jaw is always slightly clenched.

Your lower back feels stiff when you get up.

And after a while, you stop noticing it because it just becomes your normal.

That’s often why people are surprised during a massage by how much tension they were actually carrying.

It’s not always that something suddenly got worse.

Sometimes your body has just been quietly adapting for so long that you forgot what comfortable feels like.

Then you finally stop.

Your breathing slows.

Your shoulders drop.

Your body softens.

And you realise just how much you were holding without even knowing it.

Both things can be true.

You can love feeling your baby move and still be fed up of the pressure in your hips.

You can be excited for what’s ahead and still be counting down the hours until you can lie down.

You can appreciate what your body is doing and still think… surely my lower back could get one day off 😅

Pregnancy asks a lot from your body.

Your centre of gravity changes, your muscles are working differently, your sleep can be all over the place and suddenly even getting comfortable on the couch feels like a small project.

You don’t have to minimise that just because pregnancy is something you wanted.

Sometimes you just need somewhere to land, take the weight off and let someone look after you for a while.

And that’s exactly what we want pregnancy massage with us to feel like 💗

And I don’t just mean physically.

It’s the thinking ahead.
Remembering everything.
Organising everyone.
Work.
Motherhood.
Messages.
Appointments.
The never-ending list in your head.

You can get so used to carrying that mental load that you don’t even notice that you’re up to 90 all the time.

That’s a huge part of what Mara is about for me.

Lessening that load for a while.

You book the time and we take care of the rest.

You don’t have to drive anywhere.
You don’t have to organise much.
You don’t have to be “on”.

You just get to land.

And for that hour or two, someone else is looking after you.

They fall asleep… A LOT

It’s becoming rare that a woman doesn’t fall asleep at least once.

Sometimes, there’s even a little snore 😂

And I think I know why.

The first hour of Solas na Mara is a face, scalp and head massage.

There’s something about having your face and head massaged that makes it so much easier to let go.

Your eyes are closed.
You’re warm and comfortable.
There’s nowhere you need to be.

And you still have your full-body massage waiting for you afterwards.

So you don’t have that feeling of “I better enjoy this because it’s nearly over.”

You can completely surrender to it.

So many women tell me afterwards that Solas na Mara felt like the longest massage they’ve ever had, in the best possible way.

And I think that’s because they were actually present for it.

Their mind had space to quieten.
Their body had time to slow down.
They weren’t thinking about what needed to be done next.

They were simply there.
In their body.

Being taken care of.

And as the person giving the treatment, it’s beautiful to watch.

You can literally see someone soften.

Sometimes, when they open their eyes at the end of that first hour, they look like they’ve just woken from a deep sleep.

Like they’re floating.

That’s what Solas na Mara is designed for.

To slow down the mind.
To soften the body.
To bring you back into the present moment.

If you’ve been feeling stressed, overwhelmed or like you haven’t properly switched off in a long time…
Solas na Mara might be exactly what your body has been asking for.

Except during Solas na Mara.

Actually… it’s becoming rare that a woman doesn’t snore at least once 😂

And I love it.

Because the first hour of Solas na Mara is a full face and head massage.

She’s lying there, having her face and head massaged while her whole body gets the chance to soften.

And the best part?

She still has a full-body massage waiting for her afterwards.

I’ve had so many women say that Solas na Mara felt like the longest massage they’ve ever had (in the best possible way).

Not because it actually lasts forever.

But because they were completely in the moment.

Their mind finally got some space to quieten.

Their body had time to slow down.

And for a little while, they weren’t thinking about what needed to be done, who needed them, or what was happening next.

They were just… there.

Present in their body.

Sometimes when I finish the first hour and they open their eyes, they look like they’ve just woken up from a deep sleep.

Like they’re floating.

And honestly, that’s one of my favourite things about giving this treatment.

Solas na Mara was designed to slow you down.

To quieten the mind.

To bring you back into your body.

To give you somewhere to simply be.

If you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed or like you haven’t properly switched off in a long time…

Solas na Mara might be exactly what your body has been asking for.

Pregnancy changes so much, so quickly.

One month it might be your lower back.
Then it’s your hips.
Then the heaviness in your legs.
Then you’re just tired and need somewhere to properly switch off.

That’s why regular massage during pregnancy can feel so supportive.

Membership gives you that space each month to check in with your body, tell us what has changed, and have your treatment adapted around what you need at that stage.

Sometimes that’s more focused work on the areas carrying extra tension.

Sometimes it’s simply an hour where you don’t have to think about anything and someone else gets to look after you.

Because while so much attention naturally goes towards baby, we want to make sure mum is being minded too.

Has any woman really made it through pregnancy without feeling a bit uncomfortable at some stage? 😅

The change in your centre of gravity.
All that extra weight.
Those ankles that swell up like balloons.

Not to mention the anxiety about the upcoming birth.

It’s all part of the experience of growing a baby… an incredible experience for sure, but one that takes its toll on your body.

That’s why we love to support women during this time, giving them a place to relax, take the weight off and feel a bit more comfortable in your body again.

And the beautiful thing about our mobile massage service?

We come to you.

You get to hop straight back into bed afterwards for a well-deserved snooze… because if there was ever a time when snoozing should be prescribed, it’s pregnancy. 💗
