    Learn to support your changing body, to ground yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally in this time of great transition and change. Massage and CranioSacral therapies are used alone or in combination with movement and breath-centered practices to address specific restrictions, ease aches and pains, release tension, and support overall well-being. During pregnancy, you can also learn tools to support you through the process of labor and birth, as well as prepare for the postpartum period. Start to learn and practice techniques you can use in the early hours and days postpartum. Private sessions will be tailored to establish a practice that addresses your particular needs and goals, as well as focus on ways for you to integrate this practice into your daily life. These practices can be adjusted if you are required to be on bed rest.

    Massage, CranioSacral therapy, and physical care can be combined with both postural assessment and practical exercises to retrain, tone, and strengthen one’s core post-birth. This organic and intuitive approach combines a variety of modalities opening up a gentle and supportive space for people to gain awareness, confidence, and strength. 
    The practice of pelvic binding can be applied in the immediate days following birth. Binding (or wrapping) will help you redefine your physical and emotional boundaries as well as settle the nervous system after the intensity of labor and the early days and weeks postpartum.
    Special care and treatments are available for C. section scar care.
    All sessions include practical guidelines on how to incorporate these practices into one’s daily life. They will help you care for yourself while caring for your child and incorporate your recovery and well-being into your daily life and routine. The first weeks and months postpartum (also referred to as the fourth trimester) are fundamental to a person’s recovery from pregnancy
    and birth and are an ideal time to support the body’s natural healing.
