Our Prenatal Massage Recommendations

According to the American Pregnancy Association, modern investigation and research is proving that prenatal massage therapy can be instrumental prenatal care. Studies indicate that prenatal massage therapy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health.

Prenatal massage therapy aims to relax muscle tension and improve lymphatic and blood circulation through mild pressure applied to the large muscle groups of the body.

Potential benefits of prenatal massage:
• Reduced back, pelvic, joint pain and sciatic pain
• Improved circulation to mother and baby
• Reduced edema in the extremities
• Reduced muscle tension and headaches
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Improved oxygenation of soft tissues and muscles
• Better sleep

When you are pregnant it is just as important for you that you take special care of your body as well as the baby as the two are one and the same during pregnancy. We encourage you to take advantage of the many benefits of massage.

After the first trimester, lying face down during a massage increases the pressure on the uterus and lower back as well as the uterine ligaments. The safe alternative is to be side lying with her head, legs and stomach supported with specialized Back Max body cushions and pillows. The therapist can then work safely on the client's back without creating any increased pressure. For a portion of the session the client will be helped into a semi-reclining position with her legs elevated. This position allows the therapist to treat the rest of the body (shoulders, arms, hands, legs, feet, scalp, face), and it allows the client to experience great comfort and deep relaxation-in the safest way possible.

Motherhood is wonderful but we often underestimate the physical demands of being a mother. We continue carrying the baby after delivery and the baby gets heavier and heavier which puts a lot of pressure on your shoulders and back. Maybe breastfeeding is causing tension in your shoulders. Lack of sleep can cause emotional stress or anxiety. Let us spoil you just a little with a massage designed specifically to meet the needs of a mother. Studies have shown a 1-hour massage can help replace 4 hours lost sleep; a more relaxed Mama is a more effective mother for her child.

“The uterus is the woman's center. If her uterus is not in proper position and good health, nothing in her life will be right. She will be as out of balance as her uterus.”
- Don Elijio Panti

Reiki is a Japanese word pronounced RAY-key and represents the Universal Life Energy in and around every living being. It is a gentle hands on treatment that allows healing, balancing energy to be transferred to the recipient. Reiki is a safe, non-intrusive, non-manipulative treatment that may be practiced with the recipient fully clothed and without the application of oils or lotions. The experience of a treatment is unique to each person but people usually report a deep feeling of warmth, comfort, wellbeing, and relaxation.

Our exclusive Belly Imprint service is designed especially for moms-to-be in their third trimester.

A Belly Imprint is a modern, sophisticated art sculpture of a mom-to-be's belly and bust. The mom-to-be will experience a rejuvenating 30-minute aromatherapy massage treatment with concentration on the shoulder, neck, hands and feet to help relieve stress and restore energy. Belly Vita has carefully selected five essential oils and various plant extracts to create a light and refreshing blend used for the treatment. All essential oils are safe for pregnancy and beyond. The Balancing Belly Oil consists of the following essential oils: Lavender: Soothing, uplifting and relaxing. Helps regenerate the skin, reduces scarring and balances emotions. Neroli (Citrus bigaradia): Stimulates new cell growth and softens the skin. Soothing, reduces stretch marks, nervous exhaustion, premenstrual tension. Frankincense (Boswellia Carteri): Grounding and meditation enhancing qualities. Palmarosa (Cymbopogon Martini): Helps relieve stress and balance emotions. Rosewood (Bois De Rose): Eases stress and tension.

The massage treatment is done while belly is casted resulting in the creation of a beautiful, artistic sculpture. After Belly Imprint is created, the solid white sculpture offers a blank canvas to paint, adorn, bronze and/or custom design. It is the perfect gift for you and your baby to cherish for years to come.

Massaging your baby is a wonderful way to increase sensitivity to your baby's early communications and needs. Massage teaches infants to handle stimulation and respond with relaxation. It enhances positive body image and allows for the release of tension possibly lessening the need for crying. Touch strengthens the bonding process between mother/caregiver and baby while establishing a basis for healthy future relationships.

Monthly infant massage classes are offered to teach parents/caregivers to loving offer these benefit to their babies. Check under New Parent classes for schedules.
