Prenatal Massage Benefits

Most women seek out a prenatal massage for comfort, to release tension and to take a break from their aches and pains. It is a marvelous exploration of the senses; it reconnects us with our humanity and helps us feel good in our body. The pleasure of a massage extends beyond techniques and styles, it is born from the heart of a massage therapist and their desire to help you feel delightful. It is within this compassionate touch that defines a prenatal massage and the benefits it offers. When you know that your massage therapist actually cares about you, it transforms their quality of touch into something that extraordinary. The women who visit us throughout their pregnancy return after the birth of their child with postpartum massage, and beyond for regular maintenance. Our guests say they return because they can feel how much our therapists care and they know every second of the session is about them. This attention to detail, their nurturing approach and dedication to the wellness of our guests is what makes our prenatal massages so transformative.

Postpartum Massage

“Massage is well known for relaxation, stress reduction, pain relief, and other health benefits. Unique postpartum benefits include hormone regulation, reduced swelling, better sleep, and improved breastfeeding. More advanced therapy helps restore your body to its pre-pregnancy condition, speeds healing and assists with C-section recovery.” –America Pregnancy Association.

Receiving a prenatal massage is a wonderful way to feel great throughout your pregnancy, but our nurturing care doesn’t end when you give birth to your beautiful baby. Our postpartum massage serves to help bridge the gap from the journey of being pregnant to feeling comfortable and confident in your body. While a prenatal massage focuses on providing comfort and care as your carry your unborn baby, a postpartum massage helps you feel good and alive so you can live your best life. With regular massage you will begin to thrive as a new mother, you will have the peace and sleep you need, and your maternal spirit will have the energy to cherish every moment of motherhood.
