Massage

Prenatal Massage is a therapeutic massage geared towards helping women with some of the discomforts, aches and pains during pregnancy. Positioning is everything in prenatal massage, so we have a variety of bolstering options depending on individual comfort and the term of the pregnancy. Early term can be supported with simple pillow placement, but as gestation progresses we have a specific support cushion that allows a mother-to-be to relax comfortably on her stomach - taking all of the pressure off of the back without any pressure on the baby.

In addition to relieving the pregnant mother’s physical discomfort, Prenatal Massage can increase circulation, improve digestion, reduce fatigue, reduce stretch marks, reduce swelling, alleviate stress and stabilize hormone levels.

Benefits of Prenatal Massage:

• Alleviate Back Pain:

Experience relief from the common discomfort of back pain during pregnancy. Prenatal massages effectively ease muscle tension, providing relaxation and comfort by addressing the added weight and stress on your body.

• Stress Reduction:

Navigate the transformative journey of pregnancy with reduced stress levels. Prenatal massage is a soothing remedy, helping to manage the heightened tension and anxiety often associated with this phase, leaving you more relaxed and ready to embrace the challenges of motherhood.

• Enhance Circulation and Diminish Swelling:

Counteract the effects of pregnancy on blood circulation and swelling. By stimulating lymph flow and enhancing circulation, prenatal massages contribute to reducing pressure on blood vessels and alleviating swelling in the feet and ankles caused by added uterine pressure.

• Improve Sleep Quality:

Combat the sleep struggles that accompany pregnancy with a tailored massage. Address discomfort from expanding abdomens, leg cramps, and back pain. Prenatal massage not only lessens pain but also promotes increased serotonin levels, facilitating better sleep.

• Facilitate Bonding with Your Baby:

Cultivate a deeper connection with your unborn child through regular prenatal massages. These therapeutic sessions regulate hormones, reducing the risk of depression. A content and calm mother is better equipped to build a strong bond, expressing tenderness that extends to the unborn child, providing numerous benefits.

• Prepare for Labor and Birth:

Ease into labor with relaxed muscles and lower stress levels. Prenatal massages contribute to a smoother labor experience, with studies suggesting shorter labors, reduced hospital stays, and lower chances of postpartum depression for women who incorporate massages into their pregnancy routine.
