Prenatal & Labor Support
Supporting women during pregnancy and labor through massage and pelvic care
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy is a time when a woman’s body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using a side lying position with supportive pillows to ensure comfort, massage techniques are tailored specifically to the needs of the woman to reduce swelling, muscle and joint pain. Pregnancy massage also relaxes the nervous system, improves circulation, increases your energy, and helps to balance hormones reducing headaches, stress and anxiety. Let the benefits of prenatal massage support you and your baby during these exciting months to come.
Pelvic Care during pregnancy- Please visit my Pelvic Care page for information on common mobility dysfunctions that can be treated.
Rates for pregnancy massage and pelvic care is the same as a body in balance session.
Labor Massage
Supportive touch that helps relieve pain, reduce stress, provide encouragement, and promote relaxation between contractions can beneficially alter a mother and baby’s birthing experience (e.g. speedier birth). Labor massage includes soothing strokes, holds, and counter pressure during and in between contractions based on the mother’s needs and desires. Benefits include muscle relaxation, decreased pain, decreased blood pressure and heart rate, and focused energy which promotes progress.
