Prenatal and Postpartum Massage

Using specialized massage techniques specifically adapted for mothers –to-be, we provide comforting, gentle prenatal massage which is designed to relax and assist moms with coping with body changes as baby grows during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.  We also provide treatments that address conditions often associated with pregnancy such as edema, relaxed ligaments, varicose veins, aches and pains (especially in the low back and sacrum), and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Regular massage during the second and third trimesters…

May significantly reduce those aches and pains, increase circulation, improve digestion, help with constipation and heartburn, improve sleep quality, and encourage the release of endorphins, which is great for mom and for baby!

Pregnancy and birthing…

May create challenges and changes to mother’s body. Regular postpartum massage during the year after birth may decrease stress hormones, increase the hormones that give feelings of wellbeing, stimulate the lymphatic system to release excess water, decrease lingering aches and pains from strained muscles due to pregnancy and labor, and assist in faster recovery from birthing.
