Nurturing Your Journey to Parenthood: Specialized Massage for Fertility, Pregnancy, and Postpartum
The journey to creating and welcoming new life is an incredible process. We believe in supporting your body and mind every step of the way. Because this journey involves both partners, our specialized massage therapies are designed to enhance the health and well-being of both soon-to-be parents, creating a calm, healthy, and supportive foundation for your growing family from the moment you decide to conceive.
What is Fertility Massage?
Fertility Massage is a specialized therapy designed to prepare your mind and body for conception. This treatment often combines gentle techniques from Relaxation Massage, Myofascial Release, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage. The primary goal is to create an optimal internal environment by reducing stress, decreasing inflammation, managing pain, and promoting restorative sleep.
Why Consider Fertility Massage?
The path to conception can be stressful. Our therapy aims to ease the minds and bodies of both partners during this time. While there is no conclusive evidence that massage directly increases fertility, research shows that reducing stress and anxiety significantly aids the process.
Key benefits include:
Stress & Anxiety Reduction through deep, targeted relaxation.
Improved Overall Well-being by releasing muscle tension, aches, and trigger points.
Abdominal & Digestive Relief by gently targeting and releasing tension in the core.
What is Prenatal Massage?
As your body changes through the three trimesters, our Prenatal Massage adapts with you. This therapy is specifically modified to alleviate the unique aches and pains of pregnancy, reduce stress, and improve your overall sense of well-being while keeping you and your baby safe and comfortable.
What to Expect During Your Session
Your session will start with a thorough and confidential consultation to ensure there is no risk to you or your baby. We may request a clearance letter from your doctor or midwife to ensure the highest level of safety.
To ensure comfort and safety as your pregnancy progresses, the massage will be performed while you are in a side-lying position, supported by specialized pregnancy pillows. The pressure is firm yet gentle, using full-handed strokes to promote a deep relaxation response for both you and your baby.
