Pre & Postnatal Massage

Prenatal massage offers supportive care as the body adapts to the physical and hormonal changes of pregnancy. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to address common patterns such as low-back discomfort, hip and pelvic strain, rib and shoulder tension, and circulation changes in the legs and feet. Care begins with attentive observation of posture, alignment, and muscle tone to understand where the body is holding tension, compensating, or needing support.

Massage encourages deep relaxation, helping calm the nervous system and support healthy circulation as the body changes. This work may ease backache, pelvic discomfort, and muscular fatigue, while supporting comfort, breath, and a growing sense of trust in the body’s capacity for pregnancy and birth. Many clients find that regular prenatal massage helps them feel more comfortable and supported in their changing body, while building confidence in their ability to meet the physical demands of pregnancy and birth.

Postnatal massage supports recovery after birth by addressing both the physical demands of pregnancy and the ongoing adjustments of early parenting. Each session is tailored to support comfort and balance through careful attention to posture, alignment, and changes in muscle tone following birth. Care may include support for pelvic ligament strain, abdominal and pelvic floor tenderness or recovery after repair, and the effects of swelling, fluid retention, or residual medications.

Sessions also address common postpartum patterns such as tension in the neck, shoulders, low back, hips, and wrists related to feeding, carrying, and repetitive caregiving movements. Massage can help reduce discomfort, support circulation and lymphatic movement, and assist the body in re-establishing stability and ease. Many clients find that regular postnatal massage helps them feel more supported during recovery, restoring a sense of strength, balance, and confidence as their body adjusts to parenthood.
