Pregnancy massage is therapeutic bodywork, that focuses on the special needs of a woman’s body as the dramatic changes occur during pregnancy, birth and post-partum.

Touch is vital to the mother’s psychological and physiological well being, as she adapts to many changes.

Massage provides a nurturing touch, which in turn, nurtures the life of the unborn child.

Postpartum Massage is designed to help restore the body to its pre-pregnant condition and to address the stress of carrying and caring for a newborn.

Bodywork during pregnancy can:

• Relieve common pregnancy pain: low back, sciatica, hip tension, headaches

• Decreases edema, (swelling), enhance circulation & the immune system
• Stimulates the endocrine system, thereby stabilizing hormones

• Provides stress relief, emotional support & tranquil relaxation

• Postpartum Massage can speed recovery by bringing relief from sore muscles and helping the mother to relax, as well as providing nurturing emotional support during the early postpartum period.
