As one of Canberra’s very first dedicated pregnancy massage practices, Baby and Bump Massage has supported thousands of mothers through every stage of pregnancy and early motherhood. Combining over two decades of clinical remedial expertise with deeply nurturing care, we ensure you and your growing baby are completely supported, safe, and comfortable.
We only use pure, organic, and pregnancy-safe oils and balms in all our massage treatments, ensuring gentle and restorative care with zero harmful additives for you and your baby.
Safe For All Trimesters
All our therapists are fully qualified, insured, and experienced in maternity bodywork. They are trained in supportive side-lying and belly pillow massage techniques, utilising specialised bolsters to keep you secure and comfortable.
Everything you need to know about our pregnancy, postnatal, and remedial treatments.
Yes. When performed by a qualified maternity massage therapist, treatment is safe and effective across all trimesters, including the first trimester. We adapt our techniques, depth, and positioning to suit each stage of your pregnancy and respect any individual health considerations.
We primarily utilise specialised side-lying positioning supported by cushioned pregnancy bolsters, belly wedges, and head pillows. All our therapists are also trained to use specially designed belly pillows. Our training ensures optimal blood flow, prevents pressure on major blood vessels (such as the vena cava), and keeps your lower back, hips, and growing baby completely supported and relaxed.
Yes. Our remedial massage therapists are recognized providers with all major Australian private health funds. We offer instant on-the-spot HICAPS claiming at our Belconnen clinic, so you only pay the gap on the day of your appointment.
We exclusively use pure, unscented, organic cold-pressed plant oils (such as sweet almond or jojoba) that are completely safe for pregnancy and nursing. We avoid essential oils that are contraindicated during pregnancy, so there are no synthetic scents or irritants.
Following an uncomplicated vaginal birth, you are welcome to receive gentle postnatal massage once you feel comfortable getting to the clinic (often within the first 1 to 2 weeks). For caesarean births, we recommend waiting around 4 to 6 weeks to allow the surgical incision to heal safely, though gentle neck, shoulder, and arm treatments can be arranged sooner. If you are unsure please give us a call.
We are conveniently located at Oatley Court in Belconnen, Canberra. Ample parking is available nearby, providing easy access to our peaceful, private treatment space. However, please note, we do not have a lift in the building and a set of stairs will take you up to our clinic. They are safe and have a hailrail
