PRE/POST NATAL MASSAGE

Research studies confirm what mamas tell us about their prenatal massages – relaxation has numerous benefits to both birthing persons and babies in utero. Postnatal massage effectively promotes healing after vaginal or Cesarean birth and relieve muscle tension and pain after labor and birth

Pre-Natal

Some benefits of pre-natal massage include improving the outcomes for mamas and babies with fewer hospital admissions, reducing prenatal, birth and postpartum complications including reducing Cesarean births, normalizing baby’s heart rate and motor activity, and promoting longer gestations and higher birth weight. Our specially trained massage therapists key into the specific needs and extra comfort measures that can help pregnant people feel better both in the moment on the table and as they go about their days in the outside world. Our hydraulic salon back massage therapy table allows mamas to be in the safest semi-reclined and side lying positions for their massages, especially in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters.

Post-Natal
