Perinatal Offerings
Regular massage during pregnancy can minimize physiological discomforts associated with pregnancy such as gastrointestinal distress, respiratory difficulties, musculoskeletal strains and pains and swelling in extremities. It can also reduce stress and promote relaxation to help nurture both the mother and baby.
In the postpartum period, therapeutic massage can facilitate the body’s recovery by contributing to rehabilitation of the abdominal muscles and promoting structural realignment of the spine, pelvis and surrounding muscles. Somatosensory techniques that foster relaxation can also promote recovery by allowing the body to shift into the parasympathetic nervous system.
Most profoundly, touch therapy provides mothers the space to tap inward and connect with their bodies. Practicing this self-awareness throughout pregnancy can help women more actively participate in the birth process, and continuing to do so during the postpartum period can facilitate a smoother transition into motherhood.
