- Prenatal Care Prenatal bodywork is one of the most safe and natural ways to reduce stress and anxiety in the pregnant woman so that fetal growth can flourish in a healthy in utero environment. Many of the common discomforts of pregnancy can be relieved with therapeutic bodywork. Safe bodywork for the pelvis increases awareness in and around the pelvic floor muscles to optimize Kegel strengthening exercies in preparation for bearing down and postpartum recovery. A woman should enjoy every moment of her pregnancy so that she can prepare physically, mentally, and emotionally for the birth of her baby.
- Labor Support ~ Doula Touch during labor is an effective method for reducing pain and promoting a natural, speedier delivery. Massage, Myofascial Release, and other relaxation techniques have the powerful ability to ease the mind/body so that the laboring woman can remain calm and focused. The support that a loved one can offer during this experience can create a joyous and positive birthing experience for all. Labor Support Classes are designed for the expectant mother to attend with her birth partner to become more educated on the what is normal during labor and what simple things they can do to enhance the experience. We also invite woman to learn more about having a Doula present at the birth.
- Postpartum Care ~ Breastfeeding Physiological changes during pregnancy and labor continue well beyond the 6-week mark of the delivery. Myofascial Release techniques performed specifically to address the postpartum period can help to restore posture, normalize body systems and functions, and strengthen weakened abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. To promote breastfeeding success, myofascial techniques and massage for the chest muscles and breast tissue are used to increase circulation and fluidity of the milk ducts, mammary glands, etc. If a C-Section was performed, releasing the Cesarean scar once healed can prevent future fascial restrictions from creating pain and dysfunction elsewhere in the body.
