Bump and Beyond Massage, at 41 Kerikeri Road in Kerikeri, is a small, local massage studio with a focus on pregnancy and postnatal care. The website lists relaxation massage, pregnancy massage and postnatal massage, which can be given on the massage table or wherever suits the mother. Techniques include Swedish massage, deep tissue, pressure point, stretching and myofascial release, with a focus on the lower back and hips in pregnancy. The postnatal massage often begins with a chat about the birth over a cup of tea. Postnatal packages are planned, and the website says the therapist is training as a doula. Bookings are made by text or email, on 022 694 5600 or info@bumpandbeyond.nz, and prices are on the website's pricing page. The studio also sells Mama & Me belly oil, baby bath oil, a baby oat bath soak and Tui Balm products. Afterpay is available. The website notes a small price rise for non-pregnancy massages from 1 September 2025, and says existing bookings and gift vouchers were honoured at their original price.
Customers describe the massage as peaceful and relaxing, with a warm and calming therapist. One mother says the postnatal massage helped her body feel much better after giving birth, and that the clinic was clean. Another says it helped the aches and pains of pregnancy, and recommends it to pregnant women. Others mention gentle, customised treatments and the cosy, inviting studio. Our pick in Kerikeri for pregnancy and postnatal massage from a warm, experienced therapist.
