focusing on women's health and well being
All women deserve that feeling of being respected and supported in their choices not only in birth, but all aspects of life. Amazing things can happen when we care, love, nurture and support each other.

Prenatal and
Postpartum Care
Postpartum Care
In the childbearing years women experience tremendous changes physically, mentally and emotionally. Massage Therapy can be a vital component of a mother's self-care routine. Some benefits include the relief of muscular tension, joint ache and ligament discomfort associated with pregnancy and childrearing. It encourages relaxation, digestion and improves sleep. After a cesarean section Massage Therapy can promote tissue health and repair by increasing local circulation, decreasing discomfort and release fascial restrictions around the abdomen and pelvis due to scar tissue.
Pregnancy Massage
A prenatal massage addresses orthopedic concerns specifically related to the aches and pains associated with the changes that may result during pregnancy.
Specially designed maternity body cushions allow the option for each mom-to-be treated safely and comfortably sidelying, seated, semi-reclined and even face down all through her pregnancy.
Therepeutic Breast Massage
Therapeutic Breast Massage can help relieve breast tenderness and pain, breast congestion, clogged ducts and even support lactation. Moreover, therapeutic breast massage decreases pain and limitations that may occur post surgically from augmentations, mastectomies, and breast reconstruction by promoting lymphatic drainage and circulation.
Clear communication and understanding is a key component during each treatment. Techniques can be modified to achieve benefits in a variety of ways; respecting your boundaries and comfort level with the utmost care. As trained professionals, we are eager to share this knowledge with some who may not know, yet would gain remarkable benefits from this treatment.
