BIRTH PREP

I believe that when a woman feels respected, informed, and deeply connected in her birth journey, she emerges confidently into motherhood. Using bodywork and physiology as the framework of my care, you can come to birth feeling powerful, capable and attuned to your body. Prepare with intention and patiently allow the birth process to unfold.

TRUST BIRTH

PRENATAL MASSAGE

conception to birth

Keep your growing body feeling aligned + comfortable through all the stages of pregnancy. Deep tissue massage is safely used to address common complaints like low back ache, rib or groin pain, shortness of breath or headaches. Special attention is given to positioning, delicate trigger points, posture + movement patterns as your body mechanics shift. Frequent sessions are recommended to stay relaxed, pain free + moving with ease as you approach your birth.

INDUCTION MASSAGE

39+ weeks - early labor

Facilitate spontaneous labor to flow with therapeutic touch by releasing the soft tissues connecting the uterus, diaphragm, back + pelvis. Creating space, nudges baby to drop into optimal position for birth, stimulating a cascade of hormones to flood your system. Trigger points are vigorously stimulated, essential oils are applied + cupping maybe used. Massage is a non-invasive alternative or complimentary modality to medicalized induction. Patiently allow the birth process to naturally unfold.

POSTPARTUM MASSAGE

4th trimester

A time for pampering, rest + recovery, postpartum treatments are designed to nurture you emotionally + aid your body’s healing process. Extra care is given to areas typically sore from birth or surgery, carrying + nursing a newborn. Abdominal work helps reduce scar tissue so the body can reorganize. Therapeutic breast massage can manage pain from engorgement + clogged ducts. Hot stones are used to promote circulation, reduce inflammation + promote deep relaxation.

Bodywork through the perinatal phases will address common aches and pains, optimize baby’s position while aligning your body for an efficient birth and smooth postpartum recovery. Therapeutic touch, subtle energy work and mindful breath will bathe your system in all those feel good hormones that help the mother-baby thrive.
