Pregnancy Massage

MASSAGE- Working with you and your baby to provide a divinely relaxing treatment that can still offer sports massage techniques to address any aches and pains you may have… therapeutic AND relaxing. It’s also about taking time to connect deeply with yourself and your baby. Treatments take place in my beautiful, soothing massage space, complete with plenty of bolsters, pillows, and blankets for a supremely comfortable and luxurious experience.

REFLEXOLOGY- also profoundly relaxing and therapeutic. Reflexology puts people very quickly into another space entirely, allowing you to float away. I have also found it to be effective for a wider range of pregnancy conditions, including heartburn, morning sickness, insomnia, itchy skin... the list goes on.

ACTIVE BIRTH CLASSES- Here I coach both mums & their birth partners. We run through the basics of labor, as well as breathing techniques, birth positions, and focus on the birth partner's role in coaching the mum through all stages of labor. If time permits, some basic acupressure points will also be taught to use at particular moments during labor to help with calmness, focus, and pain relief. It is a wonderful resource for helping bring birth partners up to speed. Handouts given to take away with you.

BIRTH PREP REFLEXOLOGY - I highly recommend this on a weekly basis starting at 37 weeks. This practice promotes relaxation around the pelvis and can facilitate better communication from the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland, helping to trigger the production of oxytocin, if the mum’s body is ready to do so. Additionally, reflexology effectively engages the parasympathetic nervous system, enhancing overall relaxation and relieving anxiety, which is crucial for creating a calm environment that supports the body in going into labor.
