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.

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. Techiques 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.
