Support for you after birth
Birth may be over, but your need for care doesn’t suddenly stop.
Whether you’re in the early days with your baby or coming back to your own recovery months or even years later, there is still space for you here.
From nurturing therapies and Caesarean scar therapy to personalised postnatal support, our services are designed to care for you as a whole person, not just focus on how well you’ve physically recovered.
Because after birth, you deserve to feel supported too.
rEST, RECOVERY AND WELLBEING
Hydrotherm massage
This unique treatment is a top-to-toe massage whilst relaxing on the gentle support of a warm water mattress. Perfect for any type of birth and stage of postnatal period. Massage whilst laying on your back means no pressure on a caesarean scar or sensitive breasts as well as no awkward turning half way through.
If you are aching, struggling to relax or feel you need a physical and emotional reset then this could be the option for you. Your baby is welcome to join you in treatment or be with a family member in our hub
post birth recovery (0-8 weeks)
Our post birth treatments can include one or blended therapies to support you with your recovery, rest and relaxation. Following a full consultation we design your session around your needs including:
Anxiety
Haemorrhoids
Insomnia
Milk Supply
Pain
Sciatica
Stress
Swelling and more...
Caesarean Scar Therapy
Your scar is more than what you can see on the surface. Whether your Caesarean was recent or years ago, scar therapy takes a gentle, hands-on approach to the scar and the tissues around and beneath it.
Following a personalised assessment, treatment is tailored to your body, your recovery and what you’d like to achieve. Suitable once your skin has healed, there are no signs of infection and you have no current complications.
Little Hands & Feet, Remembered
They’re only this little for such a short time. Capture those tiny fingers, toes and little details with a beautiful 3D cast of your baby’s hands or feet, creating something you can keep long after they’ve grown.
A special way to remember just how small they once were.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I come for a post-birth treatment?
When you can come for treatments will depend on the treatment you choose and your individual recovery. You’ll find guidance within each treatment description to help you know when it may be suitable to book. We’ll also check that the treatment is appropriate for you before we begin.
Can I bring my baby?
Absolutely. Babies are always welcome at The Circle, and we don’t want childcare to be a barrier to you booking an appointment.
Some post-birth therapies can even be enjoyed with your baby if that feels right for you. For treatments such as Caesarean scar therapy, you’ll need to stay in certain positions during assessment and treatment, so you may find it easier to bring someone who can help with your baby. But if that isn’t possible, please still bring them. We’ll work around you and your baby as much as we can.
How soon after a Caesarean can I have scar therapy?
Your scar needs to have healed sufficiently before hands-on scar treatment can begin. We’ll consider your individual healing and recovery before treatment and let you know if it isn’t yet the right time.
You can find our full inclusion criteria on our Caesarean Scar Therapy page if you’d like to explore whether treatment may be suitable for you.
How do I know what treatment is right for me?
Sometimes you may not be sure what you need. Whether you’re looking for rest and relaxation, support with your recovery or have something specific you’d like to address, get in touch and we can help guide you towards the most appropriate option.
When is the best time to have my baby’s hands or feet cast?
Baby casting can be from 2 weeks post birth, there isn’t one perfect time. Many parents choose to have casts created while their baby is still very little to capture those tiny fingers, toes and details before they grow. You’ll find more information about the casting process and suitable ages within the service description.
Do you offer chiropractic care for mothers and babies?
Yes. Lucy from Gaia Family Chiropractic works from The Circle and provides individualised chiropractic care for mothers, babies and families.
For mums, chiropractic care can support comfort, movement and physical wellbeing as your body adapts after pregnancy and birth. For babies, Lucy provides gentle, age-appropriate assessment and care tailored to their individual needs.
