Postpartum Massage
After the marathon of birth, it can be a challenge for new mothers to regain their strength. Massage helps initiate your path to fitness and well being while promoting better posture, blood circulation, and relieving tension headaches. The relaxation experienced during massage also promotes healthy sleep patterns and a healthy breastfeeding relationship. And if you’re not getting the sleep you wish you were, massage is an alternate route to rest and relaxation.
Infant Massage Classes
The techniques taught in our infant massage classes facilitate a rewarding time of bonding with your baby. You will learn to interpret your baby’s cues, deepen attachment, and even lower your own blood pressure.
