Pre-natal + post partum massage

Nurture yourself and your growing little one with prenatal + postpartum massage

as your body continues to shift and change, we’re here to support you on your pregnancy journey

Becoming a mom is an incredible experience, one that comes with its fair share of change. It’s helpful to find outlets that can naturally treat common symptoms that arise as your body continues to adjust as the baby grows.

As RMTs, we have been educated on how to safely provide massage therapy treatment throughout a pregnancy as well as when you shift into motherhood for postpartum self-care.

We utilize the oh-so-comfortable and sought after pregnancy pillows. This allows our pregnant moms-to-be, to enjoy lying face down on the treatment table while remaining completely supported and safe to do so.

Recently I’ve been seeing Carrie for pre-natal massage as often as I can and every session is amazing. She takes great care to make sure you’re comfortable throughout and always checks in. I was also having lower back issues during pregnancy and saw Kristen for an osteopath session which was really beneficial and relaxing. The studio is the most perfect setting for a massage or any treatment and all the practitioners are warm and make you feel so comfortable the minute you walk in.

prenatal massage is your time to be taken care of

We know our pregnant clients are balancing the busy life they had even before becoming pregnant and now adjusting to all the planning and changes for the new beginning ahead. With the added stresses on the body can come a lot of to-do lists too. Massage will help ease the common symptoms of discomfort as the body compensates to house this incredible little person that you get to meet in the upcoming months. While also giving your busy mind a break, with an hour of stress free self-care that’s all about – you.

As your body transitions back from pregnancy, we’re here to support you too

With all the changes the body goes through leading up to the big moment of meeting your little person, whatever went down to get your baby into this world safely can mean you went through a lot – emotionally and physically.

Often times, postnatal care gets pushed aside to make it all about the newborn, and it is! But as the momma, you just went through a wild experience and the after effects on you body and mind are important for self-care too.

We’re here as a outlet to focus on making your body feel better, lift your mood and help put some much needed energy back in your body. So you can fill your physical and emotional tank and be more present and strong for yourself + family.

it’s good to know, your RMT is here for your self-care when you need it most

Whether it’s throughout your pregnancy, as a new mother dealing with the shifts of postpartum or as we reminisce about how fast the time goes now that your baby is a toddler, we’re here for your ongoing self-care.

Our studio is a place to connect, recharge, get awesome massages and make your time with us worth the babysitter!

faq’s

Why is prenatal massage helpful for pregnancy?

Because the body’s structures and tissues have to adjust quite a bit throughout a pregnancy and after, massage therapy helps to ease symptoms of common pregnancy strains, inflammation, compression issues and alignment compensations. It’s also helpful to find natural, drug free alternatives when dealing with headaches, anxiety and painful sensations.

When is it safe to receive massage therapy after I know I’m pregnant?

Receiving massage therapy at any point of your pregnancy is considered safe, though before the first trimester, RMT’s will commonly avoid deep work or mobilizations to the low back and pelvic areas, just in case it causes any unease to the client.

If you are at all feeling nervous about the first trimester, then we suggest waiting until your in the second for better piece of mind.

What position will I be while on the massage table for pregnancy massage?

Depending on what is the most comfortable at different points in your pregnancy, we can utilize custom pregnancy pillows where you lie face down on the massage table, as you regularly would to receive massage treatment, with added support and space for the abdomen and breasts. Otherwise, we would have you in a side lying position with supportive pillowing, keeping you cozy and comfortable throughout.

We will always modify your position at any point of your massage to make sure you are feeling safe and relaxed throughout your time with us.

How often should I receive massage therapy while pregnant?

It’s a personal preference, though bi-weekly massages are a great way to continue assisting your body with adjusting to change, as you move through your pregnancy.
