Motherly Love encourages natural births without intervention by using aromatherapy and massage. Skincare for pregnancy and beyond.
Motherly Love founder Jan worked extensively as a nurse, midwife, and anaesthetist. Jan’s personal experience in improving the birth experience. Her 20+ year experience working in extreme circumstances in Africa with limited support or resources meant Jan understood the importance of returning to traditional midwifery practice, and encouraging natural births without intervention by using aromatherapy and massage.
In 2004 Jan pursued the scientific evidence to back her understanding of good practice by earning a BSc and publishing academic papers on the value of aromatherpy and massage in antenatal anxiety.
She realised that many modern families would like a traditional way of relieving some of the stresses of pregnancy and modern living.
Over time Jan found herself blending oils for her pregnant daughter and daughter-in-law, and then preparing blends for the new-born babies as well.
Motherlylove products are registered in the EU. All the oils are backed by science and Jan’s own published and peer reviewed research, and she personally manages the product development.
Motherly Love offers a range of massage oil blends to help women and children through all stages of life.
All products are made in the UK. They use local companies close to our home in East Anglia for printing, packaging and manufacturing of products.
