Pre and Post Natal Massage

I believe the more we support the mothers of the world, the better the world will be.

This massage helps relieve the stresses of pregnancy but is also simply wonderful for any pregnant woman to enjoy.

With over 25 years of experience as massage instructor and practitioner, I welcome pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy (as long as it isn’t considered high risk or are any contraindications as diagnosed by a physician). I don’t massage the abdomen during the first trimester or if it doesn’t feel right at any phase of the pregnancy. I also offer post-natal massage to help your body readjust to its non-pregnant state and soothe any residual discomforts from the birthing process.

What are the benefits of pregnancy massages?

  • There is no greater moment for a pregnant woman than to receive nurturing touch, at any stage of pregnancy.

  • Helps reduce fatigue

  • Reduces edema in the legs

  • Alleviates sore hips and back pain

  • Enhances a woman’s connection to her changing body and baby.

  • Research has proven that the hormones produced during a relaxation massage enter into fetal circulation, benefitting the baby as well as mother.

What to Expect

Using pillows and a cushion specially created for use with pregnant women, the body is supported in side lying for the ultimate comfort.

It is a full body massage, using unscented organic oil and lotion. The body is covered by a sheet, except for the part of the body being massaged. Long flowing strokes follow the contours of the body. Specific areas of tension can be tended to as well.
