Womb Massage Therapy™
Womb massage therapy is a gentle and nourishing therapy that supports blood, nerve, and lymph flow in and around the pelvic bowl. This therapy aids in the detoxification process and promotes relaxation and centeredness. Areas of focus include the upper and lower abdomen, diaphragm, womb, and lower back, quite often areas that do not receive much attention.
Womb massages offer a nurturing space to acknowledge the profound journey of womanhood. This therapy aims to release trapped emotions stored in the body by encouraging the gentle release of stored trauma, decreasing bodily tension, and supporting adjustment to safe therapeutic touch. We are more connected to our body wisdom and feel more energetically embodied when the flow of feminine energy is enhanced, leading to an increase in creative energy and the restoration of vitality. Womb massages honour the body and the challenges women have experienced along the seasons of their life, both the sorrows and the joys, providing a sense of homecoming and a release we may not have felt so deeply before.
Womb Massage Therapy
“For the past five months I have been seeing Gemma for Holistic Pelvic Care and Womb Massage following three laparoscopic surgeries for the removal of ovarian cysts and subsequent scar tissue. I had been told my only option going forwards was further surgery and a hysterectomy which in your early 30’s is not something you want to hear or face, I however was so fed up with the constant pain I was ready to give in to the surgery. Then I met Gemma – through her regular care my life has changed and for this I will be forever grateful. Since working with you I have a regular cycle for the first time since I was about 19 and drastically reduced pain levels. Following a scan with my gynaecologist last week he couldn’t believe the reduction in the scar tissue and is now hopeful that surgery is not required. Your support, empathy, kindness and expertise are hugely appreciated. I feel much more in tune with my own body and cycles, the whole experience with you has been very empowering. I try to now make more time for myself and have a much better understanding. I look forward to continuing to work with you on a conception journey and cannot recommend you highly enough".

Womb Massage is supportive for:
Menstrual Pain & Imbalances
Womb Massage is supportive for various menstrual and ovulation imbalances, including painful periods, PCOS, fibroids, cysts, irregular cycles, and endometriosis. PMS and breast tenderness can also indicate imbalance.
Digestion & Emotional Trauma
During your Womb Massage, we work gently but deeply on the entire belly, reducing tension in the abdomen and increasing energy in the digestive tract. This improves the absorption of food, which plays a vital role in hormonal balance. The massage breaks down tension and stress held within the abdominal-sacral areas and aids in releasing stored pelvic trauma that may have been stored in the tissues for many years.
Postpartum Recovery
You can receive Womb Massage 1-6 weeks after a vaginal birth or once the incision from a caesarean birth is healed. Womb Massage after pregnancy and childbirth is profoundly nurturing and vital for aiding recovery. The treatment encourages internal abdominal and pelvic organs to realign into their optimal position and helps strengthen the pelvic floor. In the case of a caesarean birth, the focus is on softening the scar tissue to prevent adhesions.
Miscarriage, Abortion and Child Loss
Womb Massage aids in both physical and emotional healing after miscarriage. Physically, the womb is nourished to rebalance and restore a healthy cycle as quickly as possible. We will be guided by the truth that the body has an inherent ability to self-regulate, self-heal, and self-regenerate, which will create space for emotional release if needed.
Perimenopause & Menopause
Womb Massage supports the womb to complete a thorough cleansing of the endometrium lining before you complete your reproductive years. After menopause, treatment supports the pelvic floor, hormone balance, bladder alignment and the ongoing connection with your feminine centre.
What to expect during Womb Massage Treatment:
Prepare for your first session with Gemma to last around 1 hour 30 minutes. At the beginning, we'll delve into a comprehensive health history consultation, which includes filling out an intake form that you can conveniently download and print before your appointment. This allows us to gain a thorough understanding of your health concerns and how they developed, enabling us to provide tailored support for your healing journey. Following the consultation, we will proceed with the full treatment. Once the treatment is complete, I will guide you through a self-care protocol and provide take-home instructions. Afterward, we can discuss any necessary future treatment plans. Subsequent treatments typically last approximately one hour.
Initial Appointment with Gemma is £120. Follow up treatments are 1 hour for £70 or 1 hour 30 minutes for £95.
