Benefits of Prenatal and Postnatal Massage Therapy

Pre and Post Natal Massage has many benefits for mama and baby 💫✨

Here are a few of my favorite:

**Massage helps alleviate low back and hip pain often associated and common with pregnancy and the growing little one

**Massage helps reduce stress and anxiety by regulating hormone levels like serotonin and oxytocin. Bringing the body back into a state of balance and rest

**Massage helps with circulation and reduced swelling of joints and extremities which is common in pregnancy as the body has a higher blood volume while the baby is developing

**Massage can also help ease postpartum depression by creating a safe environment in which mama feels heard, seen, and supported. Massage and healthy touch are powerful tools to help regulate the nervous system and support mental health

Typically pre-natal massage is safe for anyone after the first trimester as long as there are not any other complications. And in the case of complications, we would work with your doctor on their recommendations. 😊

Lots of my mamas-to-be come regularly before they deliver as it is a natural way to prepare their nervous system for the event of birth ☀️

And the postpartum massage can be done anywhere between 2-6 weeks after birth, depending on the type of birth you have had and how your body is healing 🫶
