There are seasons when the person who holds everyone else needs somewhere to be held.
Mother’s Love was created for pregnancy, postnatal care and motherhood – a treatment centred not simply on the body becoming or being a mother, but on the experience of being mothered.
The treatment begins quietly with warm oil cleansing and unhurried massage through the face, jaw, neck and shoulders. Particular attention is given to the jaw and scalp, where tension can gather almost without notice, before touch travels to the feet.
Then sound begins to take more of the room.
Tibetan and crystal bowls, resonance and voice surround the body as Mardi’s original composition Mother’s Love – a song written around the unconditional nature of maternal love and the feeling of being completely held by it.
During pregnancy, the treatment is adapted around the changing body and comfort of both mother and baby. After birth – and through the years that follow – its meaning shifts. The person who spends so much of her life giving, carrying, watching, anticipating and loving is asked to do none of those things for a while.
She receives.
A rite of passage in which the mother is mothered and one of our most loved experiences for mothers.
