Pregnancy massage

Pregnancy Massage focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be and the baby as their bodies progress through the dramatic changes of the childbirth experience. During the massage, your comfort and safety are always the primary concern. 



Benefits of massage:

• Regular massage during pregnancy helps to optimally position the baby and uterus to facilitate healthy pregnancy, labor, and birth. Regular massage can also shorten the length of labor and birth, even for first pregnancies.
• Tones, strengthens, and balances the uterus in preparation for labor and birth.
• Harmonizes mother and baby for birth.
• Supports mother-baby relationship by stimulating increased oxytocin release, fostering bonding, and preparing the uterus and placenta for labor and birth.  
• Increases circulation of the mother and the baby.
• Reduces tension and anxiety
• Addresses emotional issues on a cellular level, facilitates healing for preganancy related stress and complications, and enhances important hormonal reactions. According to Michael Odent, a leading natural birthing pioneer, in his book Primal Health, the baby’s immune system is developed in the womb and the hormonal reactions of the mother during pregnancy play an important role in the baby’s health for the rest of his or her life. 

Treating yourself to pregnancy massage is relaxing and enjoyable for both the mother and the baby.  Because massage promotes increased circulation, the abdominal muscles are relaxed and strengthened in preparation for birth. Massage helps the baby maintain an optimum birthing position leading to a shorter labor and easier birth.

My unique approach to pregnancy massage includes combining Mexican Manteada (The sifting) using a Rebozo (Mexican long-scarf), Mizan therapy (mizantherapy.com), and other appropriate beneficial massage techniques.
