Pregnancy Support
A
"Nurturing the Mother" certified therapist means your session(s) are
focused on you and your little one(s) to address where you are in your
pregnancy to help minimize (if not eliminate) discomforts along the way
until the day you meet face to face. Certified areas include pregnancy
massage, labor massage and support, postpartum massage, reflexology for
pregnancy and childbirth, related cautions and contraindications, and
nurturing the couple instructor training. Areas of expertise include
information to make your pregnancy as well as labor and delivery an
easier process by preparing your body for the arrival of your precious
gift, extensive knowledge of contraindications and pathologies, focused
bodywork by trimester to address the physiological and biomechanical
changes to your body, information/questions to ask your primary care
provider to ensure your labor and delivery are more a joyous event
rather than a "crisis", partner (for each of you) massage to deepen the
bonds between you both during this special time, massage during labor
and birth is available especially to those working with a mid-wife or
doula for an at-home birth, postpartum (our western culture spends very
little time with this critical period compared to other cultures) care
to begin to transition the mother to the phases of motherhood, and
techniques for parents regarding newborn and infant stages for massage.
- Prenatal Massage - 90 Minutes $214.65
Your session will be accomplished in a side lying position with bolsters and pillows to comfort you as we work to focus on the goals of where you are during your pregnancy to help you to relax and continue to prepare your body for the arrival of your precious gift. Pregnancy tables with the “belly” cutouts may feel very good to the mother, but they actually increase lordosis (exaggerated curvature of the lumbar spine) and restrict bloodflow to the placenta because of the length of time in the prone position. Muscle groups worked will depend on the trimester to focus on allowing your pregnancy, labor, and delivery to be less stressful both physically, mentally, and emotionally. Depending on what we find in your session, there may some exercises recommended which have proven beneficial to others with similar findings.
- Postpartum Massage Package of 3 $643.95
The recommended frequency for this package is 3 days, 7 days, and 10 days after delivery to help the new mother recover from labor and delivery and make the shift to motherhood easier.
- Postpartum Massage $214.65
Postpartum massage helps the mother’s muscles, hormones, emotions, and whole body recover from birth and embrace motherhood. Our culture gives little attention to this important time while other cultures have daily focused attention to the mother to help her transition, but this is accomplished by focusing on muscles to help the new mother relax, stimulation of acupressure points through reflexology to help with the new challenges of motherhood, and post session consultation to discuss options for improvement for mom.
