Imagine a center where everything is designed to make life easier for future and young mothers and spend a relaxing time. A place where you can receive lots of advice, do targeted exercises to prepare for childbirth or losing the pounds remaining, enjoy beauty treatments tailor-make a gourmet meal while chatting at the table d'hote of other women. And if you have baby, a nursery and a kindergarten are there to fill them.

Launched in April 2008, two centers Cupcakemum account in South London, a few stops to Wimbledon. But new centers will open in 2011, given the success of the formula.

Care for pregnant women?

They devour like a dessert menu. . Yes, it's been like that and especially reassuring. Want when we consult the list of care, whose names are particularly funny.

The one I chose is "Cupcake in the oven massage", the most popular moms. That means everything and it intrigues me!

Reassuring, because the treatments are designed according to the stage of pregnancy. So every quarter, his care. I also have to fill two pages of very detailed questionnaire before joining one of three cabins in the center of Putney. And that's when the expert comes in, by asking me lots of questions but also in explaining the treatment to come.

The massages were developed with the UK brand Hydrotherm , which sells pillows of warm water.

This cushion is placed on the massage table and you sit on it, without any clothes. Adaptable, this cushion molds to your body and enhances your legs.

After a few seconds in direct contact and covered with a towel, you start to heat up like an oven. So now you know the name of care!

To immerse myself in a state of complete relaxation, a thick towel is placed over my eyes for a mask. Oil massage is then applied over the entire body, and the massage begins with the lower leg and thigh.

Still lying on her back, the esthetician spends his hands between the back and the cushion and mass, mass every body part ... not to mention the lower back.

The face and scalp were spared, which is not a lesser evil because I feel as oily enough! Also the belly was not touched, and I prefer.

My feet are finally washed with a warm towel, so that I break the figure down to the massage table. Prevenient, the esthetician offers me a glass of water and a towel to wipe myself. The cushion is good, but what I was hot! And I literally slid over after the massage back.

How I feel after this treatment?

I feel super light and I really loved the precision of the massage. Yes, it was supported but needed where it hurt (lower back, neck, thighs, calves). I take the time to swallow a little soup and discover, via a leaflet, another service of death and killing has been launched in May: The Third Door : a center where freelancers can work, socialize and to keep their cherubs. Does it exist in Paris?? These English, these are the KINGS of the concept, I love them.

It is 3:30 p.m. ET I realize that I did well to reserve the task first thing in the afternoon because it is the "traffic jam" of strollers in the lobby. Oh dear, after expansion, shock, confrontation. Dozens of children come with their mothers and nannies for 4 hours ... The kind of moment where you wonder "Am I really ready??"

Practical information on Cupcakemum:

The largest center is located 12 minutes walk from East Putney underground station on the District Line. Allow 45 minutes total from central London (Piccadilly, for example).

If you want to go on a Saturday is best to reserve this treatment in advance.
