Your Prenatal Massage Therapist of Olympia; Who am I and what do I do?

Hello, I am Whitney, your perinatal massage therapist and I help women have more enjoyable pregnancy and postpartum experiences!

Whitney Boling, LMT - Perinatal Massage Therapist & Certified Infant Massage Instructor

What this means is that I provide massage therapy for women in any stage of their pregnancy journey. From trying/planning to get pregnant all the way to postpartum. And when I say postpartum, I don't just mean having had a baby in the last 1-6 weeks. I mean if you've ever had a baby, even 20 years ago. Complications or changes to your body from pregnancy can affect you for many years or even the rest of your life. We'll get into that in another post.

I am a mother of 2 boys. I have been a massage therapist for over 15 years and specialized in deep tissue/treatment massage. For 10 of those years I worked in a wonderful chiropractic office! The doctors there are very knowledgeable and love to educate. They taught me so much more about the body and its natural healing. I started my own practice in November 2015. In June 2018, I gave birth to my first son!

During my pregnancy, I received a 60 minute massage monthly. I felt amazing throughout my pregnancy. So good that I say that I could have been pregnant with him forever. I have never felt better than those 9 months.

In May 2021, I gave birth to my second son. This pregnancy was the complete opposite from the first. I felt bad, not sick, just bad; uncomfortable, unhealthy, exhausted the entire 9 months. This pregnancy was during the Covid-19 pandemic and I was only able to receive one 60 minute massage. My son was transverse breech my entire pregnancy. In fact, because he was in that position for so long, he changed the shape of my uterus.

The difference between the two pregnancies? Massage! From my experience as a massage therapist and having experienced pregnancy with and without prenatal massage, I have developed a passion for prenatal massage therapy. I have taken advanced prenatal and postpartum massage training so that I can assure my clients that they are in the very best hands when they receive their prenatal and postpartum massage.

I am not the greatest writer, but I intend to share my knowledge about prenatal and postpartum massage here as well as in my massage office.
