About Maternal Bereavement Massage
Losing a pregnancy or a baby affects the body as well as the heart. Maternal Bereavement Massage is a gentle, unhurried postnatal massage for women who have experienced miscarriage, ectopic or molar pregnancy, stillbirth or neonatal loss.
Your treatment is with Haniyah, a qualified NHS midwife and certified massage therapist, in a private, women-only clinic in Luton. She understands the physical recovery that follows loss, and the session is shaped entirely around you: the pressure, the areas worked on, whether you talk or stay quiet. You can pause, change anything or stop at any time.
Before your appointment you complete a private consultation form so your physical recovery can be considered safely. Massage does not replace care from your GP, midwife or Early Pregnancy Unit, and if anything in your form suggests it is too soon, Haniyah will contact you gently to talk it through.
