I’ve had two amazing massages with Fi during my pregnancy and I’ve left both times feeling incredibly relaxed and so much more positive about my looming delivery. She has a magic touch and such a supportive and knowledgeable nature. Thanks so much Fi

Can I add a 6th star please? 🥰I had a post natal massage with Fi, and I have to say, it was one of the best massages ever. Very professional and great at what she does.Fi listened to me and focused on the areas that where causing Me discomfort ( shoulders and back) and focused on them.Cannot rate her and the place enough. Will certainly be back.Highly recommend her. Thank you for such a relaxing hour 😎

Fi is wonderful! The best massages I've ever received, and her knowledge of and interest in birth and pregnancy is incredible. I've loved chatting through my thoughts with her, and sharing the experience of lockdown pregnancies. She's been so generous in providing ideas and advice as well as massage therapy. Thank you Fi!

Another amazing massage from Fi! So lovely to have a pregnancy massage before the big day and I couldn't recommend this enough. Really lovely place with comfy cushions and relaxing music. Fi really helped to get my knots out and I feel so much better and more relaxed after the massage. Thanks Fi, I'll be back soon x

I had a pregnancy massage with Fi at 36 weeks and it was brilliant. Fi's confident knowledge of pregnancy and birth makes the experience extremely comfortable and you feel you are in good hands. The whole process was discussed beforehand so I knew what to expect and this also made me feel confident to ask any questions or make requests during the massage should I need to. I felt very relaxed afterwards and would recommend Fi to anyone looking for a pregnancy massage.

I've just completed my 6 week Daisy Birthing class with Fi and I already miss it! Such a perfect balance of movement, education and relaxation, I looked forward to it every week. I now feel informed and empowered when it comes to birth and what to expect. I'll be returning for the baby massage for sure!

I have been attending Daisy classes with Fi from being pregnant right through to bringing my daughter along. We have absolutely loved the classes and Fi has always created such wonderful supportive atmosphere. The groups are also so much fun and we have also met some other lovely mums and babies along the way. We will be sad to finish but thankful to have been part of the Daisy journey! Couldn’t recommend more!Laura and Sophie

Both my husband and I met with Fi shortly before the birth of my second child, Thomas. After a difficult experience first time around, I was anxious about the forthcoming labour and early newborn phase. Fi was extremely understanding, kind and supportive. She helped us tackle some practical anxieties and enabled us to approach things second time around with more control and confidence. I also managed to attend some of her Daisy Move pre-natal sessions at short notice which were fantastic. I thoroughly recommend Fi to anyone who is approaching childbirth with any degree of anxiety. She turned things around for us and we are immensely grateful for her timely involvement. Thank you!

Really enjoyed the 6 week daisy birthing classes. It was a lovely relaxing and positive atmosphere, and Fi is great. Can't wait to come along to the postnatal classes with baby!

I am currently on my second course of 6 week daisy birth classes and my husband I went to the couple's class too. Fiona creates a relaxing and supportive environment to prepare for birth. Classes are informative about the process and teach breathing and movements to use during labour and birth to stay on track. My mentality had shifted; from feeling like labour and giving birth were going to happen to me, to it being something I am going to do. Thanks!

Wonderful small group, informative, empowering and relaxing. I was extremely emotional and worried week 1 due to sudden pregnancy complications and by week 6 I felt positive and had built back trust in my own body as well as gaining a support peer group. Would highly recommend.

Fi's 6 week birthing course was amazing. I completed it twice. It helped me to keep calm during my pregnancy and also prepare for the birth of my baby. I now feel well informed and know exactly what I would like for the birth of my baby. Me and my husband also completed the couples birthing workshop, this was fantastic. My husband is so happy I found this course and is now excited to play an important roll in the baby's birth. We can't thank Fi enough and would 100% recommend the classes to anyone preparing for birth.

Loved the 6 week course of Daisy Birthing classes with Fi! As a first time Mum to be Fi provided a perfect mix of information, breathing exercises and reassurance! A great chance to take some time out and focus on me and the baby. Thankyou Fi x

My partner and I attended Fi's course at around 34 weeks and it was fantastic. She was friendly and down to earth as well as being very well informed about a huge range of birth and baby related research and literature. We felt we could ask any questions at all and both feel much more confident about birth and parenthood. Thank you!

Fi's antenatal classes are fantastic! Relaxing and informative, making me feel prepared for whatever route my little one's birth takes. Thank you, Fi!

I attended Fi's Birth Preparation classes and couples workshop. The classes were a wonderful, calming space to prepare for what was to come. Whilst my birth wasn't "perfect" the skills and tools I learnt helped so much in keeping us both calm and advocate for what we wanted.I have attended Tinies and now Wrigglers with my baby boy and so value the small group setting where together we learn more about and bond with our babies in a safe, fun, calm setting.Thanks Fi is all you have done on our journey into parenthood and beyond! xxx

Can't recommend these classes highly enough. I was very anxious about labour but after just two sessions with Fi I felt much more calm and relaxed about the whole thing and I ended up having an absolutely wonderful birthing experience. The breathing techniques and advice on labour/birthing positions that Fi showed me were particularly useful, I don't know what I would have done without them!

I'm Fi, the founder of Origin Massage and a pregnancy and postnatal massage specialist.

Before becoming a more hands-on therapist, I was an antenatal educator for 7 years where I developed a huge amount of knowledge surrounding fertility, pregnancy and birth. Prior to this, I had more of a corporate/sales career but after the birth of my first child, this became very unappealing to return to.

The birth of my second child solidified this desire to work in a field I was genuinely passionate about and so I began my work with The Daisy Foundation. I have had 4 full-term pregnancies, one miscarriage at 10 weeks and two chemical pregnancies as a result of IVF treatment for surrogate pregnancies. You might say I love everything about being pregnant and giving birth!

And I would agree. You can read more about my surrogacy journey in HuffPost. I've learned so much through the years, through my own body and through working with many hundreds of families in Sheffield.

I am passionate about helping people feel comfortable with their pregnancy, prepared and ready for birth and supporting new parents afterwards through massage. I specialise in pregnancy massage because I am familiar and comfortable with pregnant bodies.
