Prenatal Massage
Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body goes through many changes and can endure tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes.
Getting regular bodywork is a great way to help make this the best experience possible! Appointments are recommended anytime during pregnancy, unless serious complications arise.
Nutrition is another key factor in pregnancy. I offer nutritional teas to add easily digestable nutrients to your daily routine.
Prenatal massage is great for the following, but not limited to:
-
increases the systems of flow (circulation, blood, lymph, nerves, and energy) to all organs, especially to uterine muscles, pelvic floor, and to placenta and baby
-
pain relief (back, hips, pelvic floor, etc)
-
optimal uterine and fetal position for healthiest pregnancy and easiest labor
-
improved alignment and flexibility of pelvic bones
-
improved potential for the sacrum, "magic bone of fertility", to oscillate during labor
-
increased nerve conduction through the sacrum to improve conduction to uterus and cervix
-
protection of uterine ligaments due to exaggerated stretching
-
increases bonding with mother and baby
-
emotional support
-
improved digestion with better absorption of nutrients and elimination of waste
-
reduces digestive problems (constipation, acid reflux, etc)
-
improved sleep
-
reduced tension and anxiety
-
improved breathing and relaxation
-
decreases congestion and swelling
