Mobile massage for pregnancy, postpartum & beyond
Prenatal Massage
Receiving regular massage during your pregnancy can relieve muscle tension, cultivate physical flexibility, enhance mind-body awareness, and support emotional well-being, helping prepare you for an active, engaged, and empowered birth experience.
Studies show that prenatal massage can help to:
Relieve muscle tension and joint pain
Reduce swelling
Promote relaxation
Support better sleep.
Decrease stress and anxiety
I incorporate my training and experience as a birth doula and my knowledge of pelvic biomechanics and Spinning Babies into my prenatal massage sessions, offering clients tips and techniques to carry with them beyond the treatment room.
Postpartum Massage
Postpartum massage offers a nurturing and emotionally supportive environment that can facilitate deep relaxation, offer pain relief, and reduce anxiety.
Benefits of postpartum massage include:
Promoting healing and recovery after vaginal or Cesarean childbirth
Alleviating muscle tension caused by labor, delivery, and caring for a newborn.
Supporting emotional well-being by reducing stress and anxiety
Clients are welcome to have their infants present for postpartum massage sessions, which can be structured to accommodate breastfeeding and skin to skin contact.
Scar massage and mobilization work can be included in sessions for those recovering from Cesarean birth.
“ It’s a very soothing experience and she really knows the postpartum body.”
