Baby on board
Specialising in mum-to-be treatments can boost your profits and set you apart from your competitors. Amanda Pauley finds out the dos and don’ts in our five-page special. During pregnancy, clients can often feel tired, emotional and achy, having to deal with a whole host of ailments as their pregnancy progresses. A tailored, restorative treatment can be a great way to de-stress, and with research backing the benefits of massage for mums-to-be, the industry is seeing a shift in salons now specialising in these sought-out treatments.

Hot looks
