"Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."  ~ Unknown

Prenatal and Postnatal Massage

Massage is beneficial for most everyone, especially pregnant and new mothers. Pregnancy and birth test the body's abilities and resources, and proper support can make a huge difference in comfort level and well-being. It's no secret that happier mothers make for happier babies. 

Prenatal massage should be cleared by your midwife or doctor. It is usually done with the mother in sidelying position after the 1st trimester, bolstered by pillows and blankets where needed. Sore/tight areas are gently addressed.

Postnatal massage is usually done after the lochia has stopped. Massage can help the mother's body adjust to the newly non-pregnant state and soothe those sore shoulder and arms from hours of baby care and breastfeeding. 

Infant Massage Classes

Private sessions in your home or group classes are available! Learn more about infant massage here.

Private sessions are done in the comfort of baby's own home. I will bring a newborn-size doll and demonstrate strokes as you follow along massaging your baby. Handouts on the benefits of infant massage are included as well as plenty of time to practice and ask questions. The goal is to respect baby's cues and go at his/her pace. 

Sessions run $50 and last 60-90 minutes.
