Vital Touch is a natural product company, created by Katie Whitehouse (an experienced aromatherapist and bodyworker) when she was pregnant with her own babies and could not find a range of natural products that she trusted using at this important time.  Vital Touch Natalia helps you through the ups and downs of pregnancy and is carefully formulated to be effective and safe to use.   

Pregnancy is a time when we need to nurture ourselves – mind and body – and using massage oils and aromatherapy bath soaks is such a wonderful way of doing this.  As most people are aware – our skin actually absorbs a great deal of what we rub onto it – so keeping it natural and appropriate for pregnancy is really important, and the expertise behind Vital Touch Natalia means that you and your baby can use it with confidence. 

When we are pregnant our bodies change in so many ways: there are the obvious ones such as the stretching of skin over our tummies, thighs and breasts as our bodies grow to accommodate and prepare for new life; and also other changes such as tired, achy legs and feet as in the last trimester our bodies contain and have to circulate up to 50% more fluid than pre pregnancy.   Natalia has products for both of these changes.

 

 

Natalia Leg Refresher is a brilliantly cooling blend of organic aloe vera with cypress, lemon and geranium which are instantly revitalising to mind and body.  Just smooth onto legs and feet – it dries instantly but we recommend you rest with your feet higher than your hips for 10 minutes to help your circulation.  For skin under stress use Natalia Anti-stretch Oil which is a gorgeous blend of ultra nourishing rosehip seed oil, avocado oil and essential oils that encourage skin elasticity. 

 

 

Allowing yourself to relax as much as possible is good for you and for your growing baby.  Natalia includes wonderfully soothing balms, oils and bath soaks to help you relax: Natalia Prenatal Bath Soak is a blend of organic lavender, vetiver and ylang ylang in a gentle and moisturising bubble bath to soothe away tension as you enjoy your soak.   These days we tend to be on the go most of the time so there are two handy pulse pointers which you can keep in your handbag to roll onto the insides of your wrists whenever you feel in need: Natalia Instant Revitaliser for when you are flagging and need a gentle boost, and  Natalia Instant Unwinder for when you feel like really chilling out.

 

 

“FEEL LIFE” is the basis for all Vital Touch products – promoting the value of positive touch.  Prenatal Massage Oil is the perfect way for you and your partner to stay in touch and connect with your changing body and your growing baby.   Research has shown that fathers who massaged their partners in this way felt a closer bond with their babies when they were born.

Natalia also has products to help your birth be as positive as possible, and a great range of balms, butters, massage oils and bath soaks for the whole family once your baby is born.

 

 

The whole Natalia range is available on line from www.vitaltouch.com and also from selected retailers – call 0845 0525345 for details.
