  • "I wholeheartedly believe that the pregnancy massage helped to prepare my body for labour and birth and would thoroughly recommend Jenny as a Massage Therapist. She is fantastic!"

    Sarah Johnston, Hamilton

  • "I met Jenny when I was 37 weeks pregnant and really wish I had come to her clinic before. I was suffering from back pain, tightening in my whole body and legs and hip pain.I experienced such a relief after my very first session."

    Irene Nunes, Hamilton

  • "Jenny also did some craniosacral therapy to assist in preparing my body for the birth. An hour after the massage my labour began, it came on very strong and I had my baby girl four hours after the massage. It was an easy speedy delivery. Thanks Jenny."
