Pregnancy is an extraordinary journey, a period of profound transformation as your body and mind prepare to welcome a new life. To support expectant mothers along this path with care, gentleness, and safety, Villa Antica Colonia presents Garbabhyangam, an Ayurvedic massage entirely dedicated to pregnancy wellness.
Our Specialist
The treatment is carried out by Denise Baschirotto, a therapist specialising in Ayurvedic childbirth preparation, ensuring a professional and tailored experience for every stage of gestation.
What is the Garbabhyangam Massage?
An extremely gentle, soothing, and personalized treatment designed to support women through physical and emotional changes. The technique uses long, fluid, and continuous strokes, avoiding any deep or painful pressure.
Warm, natural vegetable oils are used (such as sesame or sweet almond), optionally enriched with gentle Ayurvedic herbs.
Key Benefits
- Muscle & Joint Relief: Eases tension built up in the lower back, shoulders, and pelvis.
- Reduced Swelling: Boosts blood circulation and lymphatic drainage to fight water retention in legs and ankles.
- Deep Emotional Relaxation: Calms anxiety while promoting the natural release of oxytocin and endorphins.
- Nourished & Elastic Skin: Warm oils keep skin tissues supple, helping prevent stretch marks and preparing the skin for labor.
- Deep Connection: Creates a peaceful, intimate space to connect with your baby’s rhythm and movements.
The Experience at Villa Antica Colonia
Every treatment takes place within our "The Arch" wellness suite. The therapist tailors the strokes and positioning on the massage table with complete safety, guaranteeing maximum comfort and well-being at every stage of the massage.
How It Works & Precautions
- When it is recommended: Advised from the second trimester onward (from weeks 14–16).
- Precautions: Please consult your gynecologist or midwife before booking. The treatment should be avoided in cases of fever, high blood pressure, placental complications, or high-risk conditions.
Give Yourself the Gift of Sacred Time
Whether you are in your second or third trimester, taking care of yourself is the very first step in caring for your baby.
