passionate about pregnancy<br />

Baby & Me Lincoln has recently opened the<br />

doors to their new parent & baby relaxation<br />

and wellness centre in Branston, Lincoln.<br />

Hayley, who is the owner of Baby & Me Lincoln is<br />

a Massage Therapist who specialises in treatments<br />

for pregnant and postnatal clients and is passionate<br />

about helping expectant and new mothers and their<br />

partners to feel relaxed and well throughout their<br />

pregnancy and parenthood journey.<br />

Pregnancy massage, massage for labour and<br />

birth, manual therapy for conditions such as pelvic<br />

girdle pain, back pain and sciatica and kinesiology<br />

taping are all treatments on offer for the pregnant<br />

client followed by postnatal massage, deep tissue<br />

massage, relaxation massage, Nurture Postnatal<br />

and baby massage classes once baby has arrived.<br />

The new centre is quiet, relaxing and welcoming<br />

and creates the perfect environment for pregnant<br />

ladies, their partners as well as new mums, dads<br />

and babies to come along relax and unwind with<br />

a treatment or class of their choice. Treatments<br />

are held in the tranquil therapy room with heated<br />

couch, aromatherapy and calming lighting whilst<br />

groups such as baby massage are held in the group<br />

room which is light, warm and cosy.<br />

Being a parent can at times be really hard<br />

and challenging so it’s really important to<br />

look after yourself so you can look after<br />

your family. Quite often as a parent our<br />

own needs are not a priority and if they<br />

are they are way down list of priorities of<br />

things to do. I want parents to know how<br />

important it is to put regular time aside for<br />

themselves to look after their own health<br />

and wellbeing and for them to acknowledge that it<br />

is ok to do so (and not feel guilty for doing this!)<br />

HEALTH & SPORT<br />

Baby & Me<br />

Massage therapy offers a perfect opportunity<br />

to ease aches, pains, tension and anxiety that<br />

can sometimes come with parenting, it also<br />

offers a perfect opportunity for some ‘me time’<br />

and has many benefits which are both physical<br />

and emotional. I also want parents to feel<br />

confident, empowered and supported in their<br />

role and when they attend one of my classes<br />

it is a great opportunity for them to<br />

meet other mums, dads and babies<br />

and build up a support network of<br />

other like-minded individuals. Many<br />

mums and dads who have attended<br />

classes run by Baby & Me have told<br />

me that they stay in regular contact<br />

with the others from their class and<br />

have found lifelong friends which is<br />

amazing!<br />

As well as making friends at baby massage<br />

classes there are many benefits for both baby<br />

and the parent learning the massage strokes,<br />

some of the benefits for parents include<br />

increased levels of relaxation, improved<br />

confidence in handling and responding to<br />

babys cues and bonding with baby.<br />

For the baby receiving the massage the<br />

benefits are huge and include relief from colic,<br />

constipation, wind and tummy pain, relief from<br />

teething pain and other common ailments,<br />

improved relaxation and sleep durations and<br />

it also stimulates all of the major systems in<br />

babys body.<br />
