The session combines a therapeutic pregnancy massage, selected acupressure points, gentle aromatherapy, and the **Three Sisters of Balance** from Spinning Babies®. These body-balancing exercises help create more balance in the muscles and ligaments supporting your uterus, encouraging your baby to find an optimal position for birth and potentially contributing to a smoother labour experience.
As a qualified birth doula and massage therapist, I also offer practical guidance for the final weeks of pregnancy. You are welcome to ask questions about birth preparation, comfort measures, or anything related to pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period.
Every session is individually tailored to your needs and stage of pregnancy.
Before booking, please consult your healthcare provider to ensure that massage and complementary techniques are appropriate for your pregnancy.
During our session, I offer a trauma-aware and supportive space where you can share your birth experience if you wish, and where any emotions or sensations connected to your C-section can be acknowledged with care. The massage begins gently, focusing on relaxation of the abdomen and surrounding areas, allowing your body to relax and build trust before scar work.
As the session progresses, I adapt the treatment to your individual needs and stage of recovery. Gentle work around the C-section scar may help reduce feelings of tightness, numbness, sensitivity, and discomfort while supporting tissue mobility and circulation.
Every body and every birth story is unique. My intention is to offer a personalised and nurturing experience that supports both your physical recovery and emotional wellbeing after cesarean birth.
The session can take place in my peaceful studio or in the comfort of your own home. For home visits, I bring a professional massage table and everything needed to create a safe and relaxing environment.

The massage begins with gentle work on your back and abdomen, allowing your body to relax, build trust, and prepare for deeper therapeutic work.
As the session unfolds, I tailor the treatment to your individual needs, with particular attention to the scar and surrounding tissues. Gentle scar massage may help reduce pain, numbness, tightness, and restricted movement while supporting healing by improving circulation and tissue mobility.

Olen käynyt Sonan luona kaksi kertaa raskauden aikana. Ensimmäisellä kerralla Sona sai hieronnalla helpotusta iskias vaivaani ja toisella kertaa yläkropan avattua. Hänellä on erinomainen taito kuunnella asiakasta ja hoitaa vaivaa oikeaoppisesti. Suosittelen ehdottomasti raskaushierontaan hänen luonaan.

About a year after my C-section, I went to see Sona for scar massage therapy because my scar sometimes hurt. On one side of my abdomen, I felt that the scar had healed poorly and hardened. Visually, I was bothered by the C-section overhang as well. I expected improving the scar's condition to be a long-term process and viewed it as an investment to avoid bigger problems later on. However, after just the first visit, I noticed a significant improvement, and the difference between the sides of my scar was less pronounced. After three sessions, my scar is beautifully soft, and I think the overhang has decreased in size. I also really appreciate Sona’s kind approach. You can tell she enjoys her work and sincerely wants to help.

Breastfeeding and cosleeping have taken a real toll on my back. The constant tension and awkward sleeping positions often leave me in quite a lot of pain.
Soňa is an excellent practitioner. She immediately understands which areas are affected and works with such precision and care. I walk into our sessions feeling like a rock and leave feeling like soft dough.
I always leave feeling lighter, more relaxed, and deeply cared for. I’m so grateful to have found her and truly recommend her to anyone looking to feel restored and supported. I'm happy for having found her!!! - Maria Guzman Castillo·
I have known Sona for a few years now and I can say that she definitely has given me the best massages ever. She is truly gifted, something you can’t get by studying only although she also has the credentials too.
- Christina·
I have had massages with Soňa during pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. It has been a deeply healing and relaxing experience every time. In early postpartum I also had my baby with us during the massage, and Soňa provided a wonderfully calm and nourishing space for both of us together. I also came to Soňa for help healing episiotomy scars, and she helped so much in my recovery. Soňa’s massages relieve pain and tension in my body and bring a strong peace to my mind and spirit. I feel very cared-for and safe with her.

I had a one-hour back massage with Sona and it was truly excellent. I’ve been dealing with back pain for a long time, and her professionalism, perfect touch, and just the right amount of pressure made a huge difference. She worked exactly where the pain was and handled it with great skill. I can fully recommend her, and I’m already looking forward to my next session with Sona 🫶🏻
