Pre- & Perinatal Massage
( pregnancy massage )
"Peace on Earth begins at birth."
~Jeannine Parvati Baker
Enhance your pregnancy journey with the benefits that come from prenatal massage. Whether you're just starting the pregnancy journey (preparing or trying to get pregnant), almost to the end, or if you're struggling with infertility, prenatal massage is for you! Prenatal massage is beneficial for both mom and baby. You can rest assured that you and your baby are in the very best hands knowing that I have had advanced training in prenatal and postpartum massage. Climb onto my warm table and get snuggled up with pillows, in a side-lying position while I work your aches and pains away. Relax, breathe in and let the music take you away. Reduce stress while increasing relaxation, decrease inflammation & swelling, increase flexibility, decrease pain and reduce nausea. Side-lying and semi-reclining positioning will be utilized from 2nd trimester on.

Infant Massage Classes
The Ancient Art of Infant Massage
Learn how to massage your infant with a Certified Infant Massage Instructor. Not only will you learn the strokes, but you will learn the benefits of infant massage and increase bonding with your child. "Infant massage is a bonding activity between parents and their children. In the most basic terms, infant or pediatric massage refers to the process of stroking the muscles of an infant using a variety of specialized massage techniques. Vocalization, eye-to-eye contact, and other positive behavioral reinforcements are also important components of the massage." -ILTF I offer one on one and group classes, in home or office. Please text or email for scheduling.

Enhance your partner's connection and relationship with you and baby with meaningful supportive touch techniques. A class will be part of your prenatal massage care plan and scheduled for a time close to your due date. You will have the option of adding additional classes as needed. Class can be done in your home (within a 25 mile radius of my office) or at the office. For distances greater than 25 miles from my office will have an additional travel fee. ​ If you do not have a care plan with me and/or you were referred to me for the class please contact me via email, text or calling to schedule.
C-Section Scar Treatment
Create healthy, functional scar tissue by reducing adhesions that may have formed, reduce edema, and pain and numbness at/around the incision site. For older scars, reduce dysfunctional posteral, visceral, and other imbalances and reducing pain. Cesarean scar tissue takes several months to completely heal, form and remodel in response to the functional stresses put upon it. Together, we will create a treatment plan based on the initial condition of the scar, your needs and goals. Documentation of pain level, sensation, adhesion quality and movements, and other changes and details of the scar will help us to create a comprehensive reference to evaluate the efficacy of the scar treatment and self-care treatment over time.
