Midwife specialist in complementary therapies during pregnancy and after birth
Welcome to Peaceful Pregnancy Therapies. My name is Kaye Crawley, I am a registered, experienced midwife who has completed a Diploma in Midwifery Complementary Therapies, and a Certificate in Midwifery Acupuncture with Expectancy, the leading provider of midwifery training in complementary therapies. I have also completed a scar therapy course with the amazing HLP Therapy. I am a trained pregnancy yoga teacher, having completed an 85 hour training course with Sally Parkes Yoga, one of the country’s leading pregnancy yoga teachers.
I am registered and fully insured with FEDANT.
I aim to offer a professional, knowledgeable, evidence based service to positively impact your pregnancy and journey as a new mum, helping it to be as relaxed and nurturing as possible.
Pregnancy can be a wonderful time. Your body and mind go through many changes during those 40 or so weeks. Peaceful Pregnancy Therapies is here to help you embrace those changes, enhancing your well-being and in turn, the well-being of your baby.
Complementary therapies during pregnancy and after birth have many positive impacts on your health and wellbeing. They can help to relieve physical aches and pains, reduce stress levels and generally feel really good! A one-off treatment will give you short term relief from symptoms, but I do recommend a course of at least 3 treatments to achieve more significant long lasting results.
Treatment appointments take place in my beautiful treatment room near the center of Doncaster. I can at times provide treatment in your own home, depending on what service you are needing. Please ask for details.
I teach 2 pregnancy yoga classes a week at the beautiful Yoga Barn in Retford, and at Diddly Tots in Doncaster. Regularly practicing yoga in pregnancy also has many physical benefits and is a great way to meet other mums to be and make new friendships!
Please take a look around my website for further information about the services I offer, booking appointments and our terms and conditions of service. And don’t forget to read our feedback from previous clients!
Peaceful Pregnancy Therapies provides a number of midwife treatments, from preconception to that first positive pregnancy test, throughout your pregnancy, right up until baby is born, and in the early weeks as a new mum.

Pre-conception Acupuncture - 3 treatment appointments
Are you struggling to conceive naturally? Is your menstrual cycle irregular and unpredictable? Regular acupuncture can help to regulate your natural cycle and increase your chances of becoming pregnant. (Not suitable if you are already receiving any form of IVF treatments.)
Pregnancy Aromatherapy Massage
This personalised massage can be performed side lying or semi-reclined. Pregnancy massage is tailored to your individual needs and aims to help ease any specific pregnancy discomforts you may have. You can choose from an all over body massage including bump, just back, just legs, whatever you want / need! Aromatherapy oils are added to the massage oil to help specific symptoms you are experiencing. Massage helps to completely relax your body and mind, and can even improve your sleep patterns. Suitable at any stage of pregnancy. Your baby will benefit from the gentle massage too - they often wriggle in response to my touch!
New Mummy Aromatherapy Massage
Massage after birth has many benefits to your physical recovery and well-being. It aids relaxation, helps you reconnect to your body, eases aches and pains, and provides you with some ‘me time’. Aromatherapy oils are added to the massage oil to help specific symptoms you are experiencing. You can bring baby with you if you wish, they will also benefit from the relaxing atmosphere. Suitable once your post birth bleeding has stopped.
C-section scar therapy package - 3 x 30 minute appointments
Is your c-section scar tight, pulling or uncomfortable? Do you have numbness or discomfort in your abdomen? Do you feel disconnected from the area mentally or physically? Are you unable to look at or touch your scar? Do have a 'overhang' above your scar? Do you want to improve the overall look of your scar? If you are at least 6 weeks post birth and your external scar has healed this scar therapy treatment can help with all of these issues and more! I recommend a treatment every 2 weeks for maximum results. Suitable once your external scar has healed and at any point along your postnatal journey, even months down the line! It is never too late to do something to improve your scar recovery!
Acupuncture
I offer bespoke acupuncture treatments to help you regulate your period cycle which can help you to conceive naturally. Acupuncture can help relieve many symptoms during pregnancy and after birth. These include backache, pelvic girdle pain, sciatica, nausea and vomiting. It can also be used in preparation for birth treatments. Suitable before conception and at any stage of pregnancy or after birth.
Nausea and Vomiting Package - 3 treatment appointments
Are you suffering with nausea and vomiting during your pregnancy? By combining gentle massage with aromatherapy oils, reflex zone therapy, acupressure and acupuncture, I can help to reduce or completely relieve your symptoms! Each appointment is specific to your individual needs, and includes a bespoke aromatherapy blend and a set of acupressure bands for you to use between treatments. Suitable from that first positive pregnancy test throughout your pregnancy.
Backache / Pelvic Pain / Sciatica Package - 3 treatment appointments
The symptoms of backache, pelvic pain and sciatica are very common in pregnancy. The use of massage, aromatherapy, reflex zone therapy and acupuncture can help to alleviate these discomforts. Each appointment is personalised to give the best positive effects for you. Suitable at any stage of your pregnancy.
‘Bump to Baby’ - Preparation for Birth Package - 3 treatment appointments
Do you want to avoid a medical induction? A weekly appointment from 37 weeks of pregnancy can help to prepare your body and mind for labour. By combining aromatherapy massage with acupuncture to specific points we can promote the natural labour process. I will teach you the acupressure points to continue to use yourself or with your birth partner between treatments, and provide you with a bespoke aromatherapy blend to use yourself.
‘Hurry Up Baby!’ - Overdue Pregnancy Package - 3 treatment appointments
3 treatments during your 40th and 41st weeks of pregnancy. Includes reflex zone therapy stimulation of your pituitary gland, acupuncture and aromatherapy massage to promote labour. I will teach you acupressure points to continue at home, and supply you with a bespoke aromatherapy blend to use yourself between treatments.
Moxibustion
Has your baby been diagnosed in the breech / bottom down position after 34 weeks of pregnancy? Research has found that regular Moxibustion from this stage of pregnancy can be up to 66% effective in turning a breech baby with no adverse effects for mum or baby. This appointment is for you and your birth partner. I will palpate you abdomen to confirm that your baby is still breech, and explain how to perform the moxibustion. I will provide you with the moxa sticks and information about how and when to perform the treatment yourself at home.
TENS hire
TENS is a well established method of controlling pain during childbirth. It helps to stimulate the release of your body’s natural pain relievers during labour. The hire of a TENS machine includes up to 6 weeks use, from 36 weeks of pregnancy until baby arrives. The price also includes an appointment with me for you and your birth partner, so I can demonstrate how to position and use the TENS machine correctly.
Pregnancy yoga classes
Pregnancy yoga is great form of gentle exercise in pregnancy to help ease discomforts, encourage relaxation, prepare your body and mind for birth, bond with baby and make new friends! There are 2 weekly classes to choose from which take place at the Yoga Barn in Retford and Diddly Tots in Doncaster, and are suitable from 12 weeks when you have had your NHS dating scan, throughout pregnancy until baby arrives.

Went for my pregnancy massage today which my husband and daughter treated me to for mothers day. Wow I came out of there feeling so so relaxed. Brilliant treatment would definitely recommend Kaye is so friendly and thoughtful really makes you feel at ease - Stevie-Leigh
Just had a wonderful pregnancy massage by Kaye, can't recommend enough for anyone expecting! 🥰- Georgina
Had my first ever pregnancy massage with Kaye today and absolutely loved it! 100% recommend 😊 - Shannon
“I went to Kaye after my emergency c section for c section scar therapy. I had 3 sessions and over those 3 sessions I finally felt physically back to normal. She showed me how to do exercises to restrengthen my stomach muscles and the gentle scar massage she performed has vastly improved the look of my scar. Before the course of therapy I was despairing that I’d never feel physically back to normal and my back would always hurt but Kaye helped me to start healing and I can’t thank her enough.” - Katie
I did pregnancy yoga with Kaye from 14 weeks pregnant until week 38. I used the yoga positions during my last few weeks of pregnancy to ease discomfort in my hips and lower back. During labour I used the positions on the ball to stay upright and the breathing techniques to manage the contractions. I was able to deliver her using just the breathing techniques and some gas and air towards the end. - Jenny
I’ve done a 4 week yoga class and a pregnancy massage with Kaye and would 100% recommend!! With Kaye being a midwife you feel in safe hands and is very friendly and helpful. The yoga and massage are so relaxing and I took some really helpful labour tips away as well 😁 thank you! - Rachel
The breathing techniques learnt in yoga did help with labour and contractions and being on a birthing ball during labour is definitely a great recommendation, even after being induced and being connected to monitoring! Xx - Laura
Fantastic yoga sessions, I miss being pregnant and really enjoyed these classes and massages that Kaye provides - Donna
the tens machine was an absolute life saver !!!! X - Jess
