Pregnancy Massage
You are stepping toward one of the most powerful thresholds of your life. How you meet it matters.
I bring fifteen years of home birth midwifery alongside my bodywork, not as a clinician but as a woman who knows this territory from the inside. The sessions include an initial conversation. I am interested in you, in your pregnancy, in what you are carrying and what you are moving toward. I offer impulses, information, a strengthening of your own inner knowing.
The massage itself does not work around your pregnancy. It embraces it. Your baby is welcome here, part of the work from the beginning.
Sessions adapt to your changing body throughout pregnancy. In the earlier stages you can comfortably rest on your stomach or back. Later sessions incorporate supportive side-lying positions, breathwork and gentle movement to ease discomfort and encourage deep relaxation. The work continues to evolve around your needs.
yoni work in pregnancy
For women who carry the imprint of cervical treatments, abortion, difficult previous births or other trauma in their body, I also offer yoni work alongside the pregnancy massage. This work supports the health and responsiveness of your yoni (vulva, vagina and cervix), helps release trauma held in the tissues, prepares your body for birth, and creates space for emotional weight to be noticed, named and met.
perineal massage
In our current culture, partners are often tasked with offering perineal massage in preparation for birth. This asks them to shift from the intimacy of their relationship to a more clinical, removed gaze, something many find uncomfortable and challenging, and which can feel equally uncomfortable to receive.
I offer this work as part of the pregnancy massage, with skill, knowledge and a deep quality of attention as a woman who knows the female body and birth intimately, offering my hands in service of your birth.
the moon cycle - a journey through your pregnancy
I offer a package of nine sessions across the arc of your pregnancy, with a shorter six session option available.
Early sessions focus on landing in your changing body, addressing niggles, and deepening your understanding of what lies ahead. As your pregnancy progresses the work shifts toward body preparation, including external and internal work if wanted and needed.
This is not merely a series of massages. It offers a relationship, held across the whole of your pregnancy. However, you can begin this journey at any time in pregnancy.

What Women Say
'Receiving one of Anja's pregnancy massages felt unlike anything I had experienced before. It's not really a massage, but an invitation to truly relax, surrender, and deeply connect with your body and your baby. From the very first touch, I felt completely held. Anja's presence is calm, intuitive, and deeply respectful of the pregnant body, creating an immediate sense of safety and trust. The movements are slow and flowing, allowing your whole system to soften and fully let go. I left feeling deeply nourished, relaxed, and reassured, both in my body and in my pregnancy. Anja offers something truly rare. This isn't massage as you know it, but a level of care that supports you and your baby in a way that feels profoundly grounding and supportive.'

'My pregnancy Lomi Lomi massage with Anja was deep and beautiful. It was an immersive, sensual and participatory experience where I felt myself being transported to a watery, exotic world. Anja's touch is skilled and intuitive, I felt safe and held enough to flow with the waves of the massage and dive deeply into the experience. I felt very connected to my baby both during and after the treatment and I could feel the pulsing, rhythmical waves of the Lomi Lomi in my body for the rest of the day. I wish for all pregnant women to be able to have a Lomi Lomi experience with Anja!'

New Mama Massage
It is such a pleasure to work with women in the early weeks and months of Motherhood, during this beautiful yet demanding time, filled with love, change, and deep giving. When so much of your energy is focused on your baby, it’s just as essential to receive nourishment yourself—physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Lomi Lomi offers a space of deep replenishment, where you can rest, restore, and reconnect with your own body. Babies are always welcome—you can feed when needed, let them settle on a cozy sheepskin, or bring a partner to care for them while you fully relax and receive. However you choose to experience it, this is a time just for you—to refill your cup, restore balance, and be held in the same love and care you so freely give.

Testimonials
'Receiving Anja’s incredible New Mama massages in the weeks following my baby's birth were hands down the best investment I made for my postpartum recovery.
Anja is such an intuitive and caring therapist and her warm and motherly energy is just what you need when navigating the early weeks of mothering a new soul - she not only looks after you and your postpartum body with such care, but as a former midwife is also incredibly attuned to your babies needs - so that both of you leave her sessions deeply relaxes, reassured and replenished. I truly hope that many new mamas in the area will be able to enjoy Anja’s special gift during this special time.' J.G, Forest Row
'Anja has a beautiful intuitive touch. She listened, allowed me to put myself first & was wonderfully supportive to my baby's needs as well. Gratitude to you Anja.'
