Pregnancy and Postpartum.

This is my jam. Working with pregnant and postpartum bodies is fulfilling in a way that just speaks to my soul.  During these session we have multiple positioning options including face down in a BodyCushion® system.  With this system, your body weight is supported off baby and uterus, as well as your chest, allowing for deep relaxation and comfort.  This system is also helpful in postpartum sessions for breast/chestfeeding or pumping parents as well as those healing from a belly birth (cesarean).  Yes, you can receive massage during any stage of pregnancy or postpartum, I will customize and adjust my approach depending on where you are at in your journey.  Any high risk concerns?  I will do a thorough intake with you and make appropriate changes for your care.

My extensive training in scar tissue release massage is beneficial in many circumstances and I often applies this to cesarean scars.  Whether your hope is to relieve pain, improve circulation, get rid of numbness, or improve the appearance of your scar, this modality could be very beneficial for you.

What is labor stimulation massage?  We all know that it is best to let baby choose their birthday, but sometimes circumstances make it necessary to encourage things along.  During this 90 minute session, we will focus on loosening and balancing the pelvis through Abdominal Therapy techniques, relieving soft tissue restrictions of the uterus, and incorporate acupressure and essential oils that may stimulate the hormone flow of labor.  Following the session we may utilize Spinning Babies® techniques to make space for fetal rotation and engagement into the pelvis.
