Prenatal Pampering

Often, Moms feel like their rest and self-care is put on the back burner, sometimes even before the first baby arrives. Whether it is self-inflicted, community or societal standard being magnified into real life, taking time for personal relaxation as a pregnant person is a must! There are many ways to enrich your quick pregnancy days, even when those days begin to feel longer and less comfortable. Get away to a better feeling place with a Prenatal Massage.

Receiving a prenatal massage is one of the best things a pregnant person can do for themselves, with few exceptions. A skilled Therapist will be able to give you specific recommendations for massage, as on rare occasion may involve advisement from your Obstetrics Care Team. As a mom to many and a Massage Therapist for over a decade, I have watched countless women; including myself, find immense mental and physical relief from their hormonal fog and bodily fatigue by finding comfort in an effective Prenatal Massage. Prenatal Massages have profound results during the ever-changing stages of pregnancy. Many who
have experienced a Prenatal Massage report having less aches where ligaments are softening and stretching after getting on the table of a calm and talented bodywork professional, who will listen to your needs and honor your changing body.

In addition to impactful body relaxation, massage can help reduce stress hormones and improve mood, as well as restful night sleep. In pregnancy, many people experience difficulty sleeping, which can lead to exhaustion. While there may be fear in the unknown for a first-time prenatal client, a skilled Therapist can guide the prenatal massage process with compassion and communicating the technique they will use to create a relaxed and cozy experience. Using light to medium pressure, slow strokes and safe and comfortable body positions, your Massage Therapist can ease the tension in the most agitated areas such as cramping calves, aching feet, pelvic and hip soreness, neck stiffness and back strains. This is the time when you know you have chosen self-care over self-doubt! And you deserve it. Allow yourself to melt into that space of warm serenity.

Growing a baby is hard, at times, but with the right support from a therapeutic care team, you will feel more mentally ready and physically at ease for the beautiful blessing your body is creating. Creating solace during a time that can carry distress is one of the best ways to prepare for your baby’s upcoming arrival. Prenatal Massages can alleviate temporary, pregnancy related symptoms and have a profound result for many days after. Making self-care a part of your prenatal routine will be a gift to yourself.
