Massage for Pregnancy / Postpartum

 

"After your massage, I felt so relaxed. It's amazing... you have great hands. I felt so much had been released, especially in my left shoulder and my very low back. I think it was perfect. Thank you! I am feeling really great right now". ~ Becky

 

Massage is one of the most pleasurable way to reduce stress, and that is especially true when you are pregnant. It can help you achieve a deep level of relaxation, which creates balance in the body, encouraging regular blood flow to the uterus, placenta and your baby.

 

As your body undergoes enormous changes, massage can provide you with soothing, nurturing touch, personal attention, and physical relief from pregnancy-related discomforts such as tense shoulders, painful lower back and hips, leg cramps, sciatica-type pain, increased bodily fluids and fatigue.

 

Massage can also provide you with the experience of focusing inward and letting go, and it can create the same positive physiological states and increased alpha brain wave activity as meditation.

 

After the birth, massage can help with your body's recovery, relieve back pain, achy shoulders and tense muscles as well as provide the new mother with nurturing touch and much needed relaxation.

 

I include various modalities, including Swedish massage, relaxation techniques, Craniosacral Therapy, Reiki and Gemstone Therapy, as well as Maya Massage to help relieve the discomforts of pregnancy, balance your changing body and help you to connect with your baby. I use mostly side lying and supine positioning, with pillows for support.
