Prenatal massage uses mild to moderate pressure application to address many common discomforts associated with the skeletal and circulatory changes brought on by hormonal shifts. I use techniques and positioning that are specifically designed for the comfort and safety of expectant mothers throughout all of the stages and growth phases of pregnancy. My prenatal massage aims to relax muscle tension, improve lymphatic and blood circulation, help prepare the mind and body for childbirth and provide a source of nurturing emotional support as women transition into motherhood.
Research shows prenatal massage therapy can help reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and general newborn health.

Postpartum massage is designed to support new mothers as their bodies (and minds) shift to their new chapter. After pregnancy, the body must recalibrate—draining excess fluids and waste, shrinking the uterus and radically adjusting hormone levels—all while healing from the physical trauma of childbirth. Along with these changes, new postural compensation patterns may begin to form from feeding, stress, carrying and holding baby and lack of sleep.
Massage therapy in the days, weeks or months following childbirth provides nourishing care to your lymphatic system, parasympathetic nervous system, and tissues that are healing from pregnancy and childbirth. This also allows time for holistic integration of the birth experience. This service often includes abdominal work which can help ease myofascial restrictions, aid with the healing of abdominal muscles and encourage the organs of the abdomen to return to their pre-pregnancy positioning.
