Massage Therapy is a natural way to support a pregnant woman’s body systems as they adapt to the major changes they are undergoing. Using a variety of techniques, including Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, and education of gentle stretching and strengthening techniques, I work in partnership with each woman toward a healthy and comfortable experience of pregnancy. Massage therapy helps reduce stress, manage pain, and increase body awareness: essential components in preparing for labour and the post-partum period.
Postpartum Massage
Labour and delivery can be very taxing on the body. Massage therapy is an effective and natural way to help return your body to its optimal working condition, encouraging proper posture and biomechanics with daily activities such as lifting and breastfeeding. While taking into account lifestyle changes such as fatigue and hormonal fluctuations, massage therapy helps you care for yourself as you care for your new baby.
