Choose the support you need
Pregnancy treatments should not all be grouped together as pampering. Sometimes you need relaxation; sometimes skin support; and sometimes pain or movement limitation is better assessed by a physiotherapist.
Pregnancy package
Mum-to-Be
A two-hour pregnancy-care ritual combining massage, a gentle hydrating mini facial and lower-leg and foot relief.
View or buy Mum-to-Be →£225Massage + facial + lower-leg relief
Pregnancy Massage
Side-lying or semi-reclined massage with supportive cushions and light-to-moderate pressure adapted to your stage of pregnancy.
- Back, hip and pelvic tension
- Leg and foot comfort
- Relaxation and sleep support
Pregnancy Facial
A gentle, hydration-focused facial adapted to pregnancy, with strong actives removed and barrier comfort prioritised.
- Gentle cleanse and exfoliation
- Hydrating mask and moisturisation
- Optional gentle facial massage
Pregnancy Physiotherapy
For pain, weakness or movement problems that need assessment rather than massage alone. Our physiotherapists can adapt rehabilitation to pregnancy.
- Pregnancy-related back pain
- Hip and pelvic discomfort
- Posture and movement changes
Pregnancy massage
Supportive positioning rather than deep-tissue treatment
We use side-lying or semi-reclined positioning, pillows and bolsters to support the bump, hips, knees and lower back. Pressure remains comfortable and is adjusted continuously.
Pregnancy facial
A gentler facial when skin is behaving differently
Pregnancy can change oil production, sensitivity and pigmentation. We simplify rather than intensify: barrier support, hydration and gentle exfoliation take priority over aggressive correction.
Retinoids and inappropriate high-strength acids are excluded. Other actives and devices are reviewed case by case.
A calm appointment with clear adaptations
During treatment
Positioning, pressure, products and temperature are adapted for comfort. You can change position or stop at any time.
After treatment
Aftercare stays simple: hydration, gentle skincare where relevant, and contacting your maternity team for medical rather than treatment-related concerns.
Pregnancy changes treatment choice
Pregnancy is not the time to intensify elective aesthetic treatment. We favour conservative, comfort-focused care and postpone treatments where safety data or clinical rationale are insufficient.
| Treatment / ingredient | Santi approach | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Pregnancy massage | Adapted from second trimester under Santi policy | Supportive positioning, pressure and symptom screening are used. |
| Gentle facials | Usually adapted rather than stopped | Products and devices are reviewed; barrier support is prioritised. |
| Retinoids | Avoided | Not appropriate for routine pregnancy skincare. |
| Strong chemical peels | Usually postponed | Pregnancy-related sensitivity and pigment change make aggressive resurfacing unnecessary. |
| Injectables | Postponed during pregnancy | Elective injectable treatment is deferred. |
| Laser / energy-based rejuvenation | Usually postponed | Elective treatment can wait; pigmentation may also change during pregnancy. |
| Physiotherapy | Adapted to pregnancy | Appropriate for many musculoskeletal problems after assessment. |
Medical red flags
When a treatment appointment should wait
Some symptoms should be assessed by your maternity team rather than treated as routine muscular tension or water retention.
Seek maternity or urgent medical advice for:
- Vaginal bleeding or fluid loss
- Reduced fetal movements
- Severe or new headache, particularly with visual change
- Sudden or marked swelling, especially of face or hands
- Chest pain, significant breathlessness or feeling acutely unwell
Also seek assessment for:
- One-sided calf pain, redness or swelling
- Severe abdominal or pelvic pain
- Fever or signs of infection
- Contractions or symptoms suggesting preterm labour
- Any symptom your maternity team has advised you to monitor
If you are under consultant-led maternity care or have a high-risk pregnancy, please tell us before booking. We may ask you to confirm suitability with your midwife, obstetrician or GP.
Prefer a plant-forward treatment?
Santi also has a separate Natural Treatments collection. “Natural” does not automatically mean suitable in pregnancy, so ingredients are still screened individually.

When can I have a pregnancy massage at Santi?
Santi’s clinic policy is to offer pregnancy massage from the second trimester onwards in uncomplicated pregnancies, unless your own clinician advises otherwise.
Is first-trimester massage dangerous?
Our second-trimester start is a conservative clinic policy rather than a claim that massage itself is proven to cause miscarriage in the first trimester.
How will I lie during pregnancy massage?
Usually side-lying or semi-reclined with pillows and bolsters supporting the bump, knees, hips and lower back.
Is the massage pressure deep?
We use comfortable light-to-moderate pressure and avoid aggressive deep abdominal work.
Are all facial products safe during pregnancy?
No product should be labelled safe simply because it is “natural”. We screen the actual ingredients and remove inappropriate actives such as retinoids.
Can pregnancy massage help swollen ankles?
Gentle massage can feel comfortable for ordinary leg heaviness, but new, sudden, one-sided or marked swelling should be assessed medically rather than assumed to be routine fluid retention.
Should I book massage or physiotherapy for pregnancy back pain?
Choose massage for general muscular tension and relaxation. Persistent pain, movement limitation, weakness or recurring symptoms are better assessed through physiotherapy.
Can I buy a pregnancy treatment as a gift?
Yes. You can purchase the Mum-to-Be package directly or choose a Santi gift voucher.
