For my most recent birthday, I was lucky enough to
receive a voucher to use at Body
Freedom Urban Spa Retreat, South Melbourne.
I am not typically a massage person, but, my goodness, the massages and
beauty treatments have certainly been a welcome treat during my pregnancy! If you are ever uncertain about what to buy
as a gift for a pregnant lady, don’t underestimate the gift of pampering.
I have just returned from what is likely to be my
final treatment at Body Freedom before I give birth. The pregnancy massages
are ahhh-maaazing. Particularly when you
are in the final stages of pregnancy.
The best thing about the pregnancy massages is that
they are carried out on a futon on the floor, rather than on a table. Later in pregnancy it is not recommended that
you lie on your back and it is not possible to lie on your front! Therefore a massage on the futon is perfect! I also thoroughly enjoyed the Pregnancy Foot
and Leg Pamper, which is particularly good if you have swelling in your feet
and/or ankles. I can’t recommend Body Freedom highly enough for indulging in a treatment while pregnant (or perhaps you already have regular massages and want to continue these while pregnant). Body Freedom provides a calm, relaxing environment and the staff and practitioners are all lovely, always taking the time to ask you how you are going before commencing the treatment.
The only down side about these treatments is when
they come to an end…
Oh, and don’t forget that you might be eligible for
a rebate on your health insurance for some of the treatments. Always worth looking into!
