I had the most beautiful pregnancy massage with Gabrielle Walker. If you are a pregnant mother and you are looking for a beautiful nourishing healing pregnancy massage then definitely get in touch because she is amazing. Super talented and so beautiful to talk to and to be held by and nurtured at this time in your life. Any pregnant mamas, she is amazing!
I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Gabrielle for a pregnancy massage after my extended Cook Island and Maori family recommended a haputanga massage for myself. My massage was during my second pregnancy after a traumatic first birthing experience. I met with Gabrielle at 37 weeks pregnant and full of anxiety about my next birth and feeling disconnected from my pregnancy due to past trauma.
The massage experience was beautiful, I sobbed, felt intense emotions and connection to my baby, I was able to envision a safe labour and my baby heading down. It gave me strength and courage and I felt empowered.
I’m so grateful for Gabrielle, she helped me so much to find strength within and to connect with mind body spirit, my baby and my ancestors. Eternally grateful for Gabrielle’s beautiful energy and gift. Meitaki 💕
