Are you looking to relieve pain, or overcome a specific problem during pregnancy or after your baby is born, during the postpartum time? I offer various touch therapies of bodywork that can help you. If you are struggling with a specific issue and you aren’t sure what you need, how to solve the issue or which bodywork session is best for you, please give me a call and I can suggest the best option for your specific needs.
Birth Healing Bodywork
Care For Moms At Any Age and Any Stage
Resolve pain during pregnancy and make sure your body is ready for delivery prior to birth. If you’ve already given birth, help your body recover and heal after birth by balancing the pelvis and internal organs. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been or how old your baby is, your body can still benefit from bodywork. Birth healing bodywork sessions focus on releasing restrictions in the tissues and common birth patterns held in the pelvis that can keep your body from being able to heal.
Birth healing bodywork sessions help to correct:
- back pain
- hip pain
- pelvic pain
- leaky bladder
- difficulty taking a deep breath
- pelvic girdle and symphysis pubis instability
- diastasis recti
Feel better in your body after one session.
You should notice a difference in your body and a feeling of positive change in your tissues after one session. You may experience some soreness for a day or two and then feel much better from the treatment.
During your initial evaluation, I listen to the energy of your body which helps me assess the core issue that needs attention. I work externally on the tissues, assessing the pelvis, abdomen and nervous system. If internal work is needed, I will refer you to someone who is trained in internal pelvic floor work. After the hands-on part of the session, you will be instructed in specific exercises for your individual needs.
Schedule your appointment for the day and time that works best for you. The session is done clothed so wear comfortable stretchy clothing.

Pregnancy massage
Many people seek out massage during pregnancy as a way to alleviate back pain and other aches and pains. There are many benefits to a pregnancy massage beyond the obvious pain relief. Massage helps to regulate the nervous system, strengthens the immune system, improves posture and strengthens the body physically, relieves stress, and prepares the body for an easier birth.
Postpartum massage
Postpartum massage is less well-known but just as helpful and important if not more so to new mothers. Massage during the postpartum time helps to relieve stress, overwhelm, and exhaustion, helps you get better quality sleep, regulates the nervous system, relieves sore muscles in the shoulders and arms from carrying your baby and breastfeeding, helps to regulate mood and decreases anxiety, increases oxytocin which helps with bonding and attachment and encourages good breast milk production.
Here are some benefits of massage during pregnancy and the postpartum period:
- Relaxes your mind and body
- Relieves muscle soreness and tension
- Supports you emotionally and physically
- Enhances the positive aspects of pregnancy, postpartum, your connection with your baby as well as your changing body and emotions
- Offers a time when you can voice concerns or fears, allowing emotional or practical support to take place
- Provides continuity of care – care may be given before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and during the postpartum period
- Improves circulation and encourage lymphatic and energy flows
- Prevents or provides support in cases of postpartum depression
- Provides healing care after a cesarean birth, healing of scars

Pregnancy &Postpartum Reflexology
The sole of the foot is a map of the entire body – it’s organs and systems. By massaging specific areas or points on the feet, the body is brought into balance and a state of relaxation, whereby the body is able to tap into its natural healing abilities. Reflexology helps to ease common pregnancy and postpartum discomforts.
Additional benefits include:
- Bringing balance to the body’s organs and systems
- Relief for morning sickness or heartburn
- Hormonal and endocrine balance
- Easing edema
- Treatment of headaches
- Relief from constipation
- Help with respiratory infections or discomfort
- Breast congestion
Reflexology sessions are tailored to meet your specific needs through a comprehensive health history.
I will design each treatment to address the current problem needing attention. Treatment is given in semi reclining or side lying positions, whichever is most comfortable for you.

Rebozo Healing Session
When a woman gives birth her body and her energy expand outward in order to give birth. After birth a woman’s energy remains open unless it is closed or brought back into her body. Also known as ‘Closing of the Bones’ in ancient cultures, closing the birth energy helps to bring balance, to reorient one’s energy and focus inward and create a feeling of being grounded. This allows a mother to focus on her own healing and needs, and to care for her baby and family from a centered place.
A rebozo is a long piece of cloth that is wrapped around a mother’s body beginning at her head and working down the body to the toes. During a session, the rebozo is wrapped, held and released in sections down the body as the energy is brought back into the body. It is very healing, grounding, and comforting. You may experience a release of emotions as the birth energy is brought back into the body. As these emotions get released, it brings about healing and a feeling of positive change. A Rebozo session is done fully clothed on a floor mat.

So, which type of bodywork session is right for me?
If you are experiencing muscle aches and pains during pregnancy or postpartum, a massage or birth healing bodywork session is usually the best choice. Massage is also very beneficial for babies and it’s simple for Moms to learn it themselves. If this intrigues you, you may enjoy my live online baby massage classes.
When it comes to illnesses such as the common cold, respiratory infections, digestive problems or constipation, or if you want to help balance hormones or build your immune system, reflexology is very helpful.
With more severe conditions such as back pain, pelvic pain, leaky bladder, or diastasis recti, I recommend the birth healing bodywork session as it is specifically designed to address the root cause of the issue rather than just relieve the symptoms.
If you have given birth recently, I suggest having a Rebozo session to bring the birth energy back into balance and help make the adjustment to the postpartum time as easy as possible. For further assistance during the afterbirth period, you can read about my postpartum doula services.
