🤍 FAQ – For Expectant Mothers

  • In most cases, the treatment can be safely received after the 12th week of pregnancy. If you have individual health considerations, it's worth consulting your doctor or midwife in advance.

  • Yes. Thanks to our special prenatal massage bed, most expectant guests can lie comfortably and safely on their tummy during the treatment. Due to the gentle, soft touches and the design of the special bed, lying face-down is completely safe during the prenatal massage, even throughout pregnancy.

    During the massage we take extra care not to cause congestion and do not use strong grips or pressure, especially in the lower back area, to protect your baby too. If you have any questions about safety, please contact us or consult your doctor before the massage.

  • Many expectant mothers experience relief in shoulder, back, neck and lower back tension as a result of regular treatments.

  • For relaxation: every 3–4 weeks.

    For muscle tension, stress relief and posture improvement: every 1–2 weeks.

    For expectant mothers, individually agreed depending on current condition — generally every 1–2 weeks.

  • Massage cannot be performed in cases of fever, infection, acute inflammation, skin conditions, suspected thrombosis, or any kind of cancer or suspected cancer.

    For expectant mothers, medical recommendations are always taken into account. In the case of high-risk pregnancy, massage is only carried out with medical approval.

  • Prenatal yoga and pilates is generally recommended from weeks 12–14, provided your doctor has no contraindications. If you're unsure about the safety of attending, consult us and your doctor before participating.

  • No. Prenatal yoga classes can be safely attended by beginners.

  • It can support body awareness, breathing, mobility, relaxation and mindful preparation for birth.

  • A Blessingway is an intimate women's ceremony and community gathering centred on celebrating and supporting the expectant mother before birth.

  • A Blessingway is an intimate, women's circle-style celebration focused on supporting and honouring the expectant mother before birth. Every occasion is unique and tailored to the Mother, but often includes:

    • an opening and connecting circle,

    • guided conversation,

    • affirming messages and well-wishes,

    • relaxation or meditation,

    • symbolic rituals,

    • shared tea and celebration.

    The Blessingway is not about the baby — it's about the woman who is about to become a mother.

  • Blessingways are most often held in the last trimester of pregnancy, usually between weeks 30–36. During this period the Mother already feels birth approaching, yet can still comfortably participate in the programme. The ceremony can help her slow down, attune to birth, release fears and experience the final weeks of pregnancy within a supportive women's community. Many choose this special occasion instead of, or in addition to, a traditional baby shower.

  • Holistic birth preparation prepares you not only for the physical process of birth, but also addresses emotional, mental and spiritual readiness. Its goal is for you to arrive at birth with greater confidence, awareness and trust.

  • Most people join in the second or third trimester, but there is no "perfect" time. The earlier you begin preparing mindfully, the more time you have to process the information and integrate what you've learned.

  • No. The preparation can be valuable for every expectant woman, regardless of what kind of birth she is planning or how her birth ultimately unfolds.

  • Yes — involving the partner in birth preparation can be important and beneficial, as the birth and postpartum period affects the whole family. It is especially recommended if you are planning a partner-assisted birth.

  • Topics include, among others: the process of birth, breathing, pain management options, the postpartum period, recovery, and practical and emotional preparation for the baby's arrival.

👶 FAQ – Baby-Mama Programmes

  • Postpartum recovery unfolds at a different pace for every woman, so it's important to return to movement gradually. Generally, around 6 weeks after natural birth and 8–12 weeks after a caesarean section is recommended, but individual condition always matters more than the calendar.

    In the early postpartum period, the focus should be on breathing, mindful activation of the pelvic floor and rebuilding the deep core muscles. Postnatal regeneration, baby-mama yoga and pilates classes can provide safe support in this process.

  • Postnatal regeneration refers to supporting physical and emotional recovery after birth. This includes movement, rest, nutrition, pelvic floor and core muscle recovery, and support through the process of becoming a mother.

  • Recovery actually begins in the first days after birth. However, conscious movement programmes and treatments are generally recommended after the postnatal period has concluded.

  • Every mother, regardless of whether she gave birth naturally or by caesarean section, and regardless of how much time has passed since the birth.

  • Pregnancy and birth place significant strain on these areas. Conscious regeneration can help restore stability, posture and everyday comfort.

  • Yes. Many women only begin addressing postpartum regeneration later, and there is still much that can be done to support the body at any stage.

  • Generally after the postnatal recovery period — typically 4–6 weeks after natural birth and 8–12 weeks after a caesarean section. In individual circumstances it's worth consulting a professional. The goal of the classes is not performance or getting back into shape quickly, but the gradual strengthening of the body, improving posture and safely returning to movement.

  • Yes. Your baby can be with you for the entire session, and their needs are of course taken into account.

  • No problem at all. These classes are specifically baby-friendly — it is completely natural for the baby's needs to take priority.

  • It's not necessary, but you're welcome to bring a carrier, blanket or your baby's favourite toy if it makes you more comfortable.

  • It can support postpartum recovery, posture improvement and core muscle rebuilding, while providing a shared experience with your baby.

  • The baby massage course is a calm, baby-friendly session where you can learn the basics of safe and loving baby massage step by step.

    During the session you will:

    • learn the full-body basic strokes,

    • learn the basics of tummy massage,

    • discuss appropriate timing and environment,

    • learn to recognise your baby's signals,

    • and explore how massage can become part of your daily bonding and evening routine.

    It's no problem if your baby sleeps, eats or simply wants to rest during the session. The workshops adapt to babies' natural rhythms, so there are no expectations or pressure to perform. The goal is not only to learn the techniques, but also to connect more confidently with your baby through the language of touch.🤍

  • The basics of baby massage can be learned from the very first weeks (from 2 weeks old), but most families begin applying massage strokes regularly from around 4–6 weeks. The most important consideration is always the baby's state and signals. Massage is best given when the baby is calm and alert, open to connection and feeling well.

  • No. All the necessary guidance is provided during the session, so you can join as a complete beginner.

  • Baby massage is much more than a few gentle touches.

    It can help:

    • strengthen the bond between baby and parent,

    • support the baby's relaxation,

    • encourage calmer shared moments,

    • develop body awareness and perception,

    • and support loving connection and communication.

    Regular touch also gives the parent an opportunity to slow down and mindfully connect with their child.

  • For baby massage, it's worth choosing a natural, fragrance-free, high-quality plant-based oil that is gentle on the baby's sensitive skin. Many professionals prefer cold-pressed vegetable oils, but the ideal choice may depend on the baby's age, skin type and individual sensitivity. During the course we also discuss in detail which oils are recommended and which should be avoided for very young babies.

  • Baby massage can gently support the baby's comfort in cases of colic, bloating or wind cramps. Special strokes applied to the tummy area can help support the natural processes of digestion, while calm touch can have a soothing effect on the baby. Many parents find that regular baby massage can be a pleasant part of the daily routine and contribute to the baby's relaxation. If symptoms persist or cause concern, it's worth consulting a paediatrician.

  • Certain baby massage strokes can support the natural processes of bowel movement and aid the digestive system. Tummy massage and some gentle mobilising exercises can be a useful complement to daily life for many families. It is important to know that bowel habits vary significantly between babies. If you are unsure or symptoms persist, always seek advice from a paediatrician or health visitor.

  • Baby massage can help establish a soothing bedtime routine that supports the baby's relaxation and wind-down towards sleep. Gentle touch, eye contact and calm shared moments can contribute to a stronger sense of security.

    While every baby is different, many families report that after regular baby massage, their baby relaxes more easily, seems more settled, and the evening routine becomes more harmonious. Baby massage is not a sleep training method, but a loving form of connection that can support winding down and quality time together.

  • Baby Hammam & Spa is a special baby-mama experience programme where baby massage, water-based experiences, relaxation and connection take centre stage in a calm, intimate setting.

  • The recommended age varies by programme, but we generally welcome families from a few weeks old (6–8 weeks) up to the age of active movement (1–1.5 years).

  • No problem at all. The programme fully adapts to babies' rhythms. There is always time for feeding, nappy changing and soothing.

  • Your baby's usual supplies — nappies, a change of clothes, a blanket and feeding equipment if needed. Any special items related to the programme are provided by us.

  • The goal of Baby Hammam & Spa is to provide renewal, connection and a calm shared experience for both babies and their parents, in a supportive and safe environment.

🌿 FAQ – Women's Programmes and Treatments

  • If regular movement isn't yet part of your routine, or you're returning after a long break, Soft Flow Pilates or Hatha Yoga can be a great choice. These classes help you gradually build strength, mobility and body awareness. If you're unsure, we're happy to help you find the most suitable class.

  • Both forms of movement support body awareness and physical-emotional wellbeing, but with different focuses.

    Pilates primarily: concentrates on strengthening the deep core muscles, develops stability and posture, can help prevent back and lower back pain, and is a strength-building form of movement.

    Yoga primarily: places emphasis on the body-mind connection, develops mobility and flexibility, includes breathing and relaxation exercises, and supports stress management and slowing down.

    The two forms complement each other excellently, which is why many people incorporate both into their routine.

  • No. You can attend our classes as a complete beginner — our instructor demonstrates alternatives and easier positions for every exercise, and you can stop to rest at any time if you need to.

  • If your goal is to develop fitness, strengthen your core muscles and have a more dynamic practice, Power Pilates is likely the best choice for you.

  • Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra are specifically designed to support slowing down, relaxation and nervous system regeneration.

  • Comfortable clothing suitable for movement and a bottle of water. The necessary equipment is provided at the studio.

  • Yes. The two forms complement each other well: pilates strengthens the deep muscles and core, while yoga develops mobility, body awareness and supports recovery.

  • Even once a week can bring positive changes, but most people experience the greatest progress in fitness, mobility and wellbeing with 2–3 sessions per week.

  • Women's massage doesn't just focus on the muscles. The treatment also takes into account female life cycles, the effects of stress and the support of physical-emotional balance.

  • Women's massage can be particularly beneficial during stressful periods, with heightened physical tension, alongside desk work, for neck, shoulder or back pain, when feeling exhausted, to ease PMS symptoms, for PCOS, endometriosis or perimenopause, and simply when you need a little time to slow down and recharge.

  • This depends on individual needs. Some people come once a month to recharge, while others choose more regular treatments during intense periods or for ongoing issues.

  • Before the first treatment, we briefly discuss your current state, any concerns and your needs, so that the treatment is truly tailored to you.

  • The Women's Circle is a nurturing community space where guided exercises, conversation, self-discovery tools and relaxation help us connect with ourselves and each other.

  • No. In the Women's Circles, everyone shares as much of themselves as they feel comfortable with. Simply being present is itself a complete form of participation.

  • Of course. The Women's Circles are designed to provide a safe and welcoming experience for new participants too.

  • Topics vary and are always built around that month's theme, but cover areas including: women's health, cycle awareness, self-knowledge, stress management, pregnancy, becoming a mother, self-care, and connection with oneself.

  • If you're unsure, get in touch with us. We're happy to help you find the treatment, class or programme that best fits your current life situation and needs.
