Integrative postnatal massage is a vital component of postpartum support and recovery. It's specialized bodywork designed to support healing and restoration after your birth experience. This nurturing therapy addresses both the physical body and the emotional evolution that becoming a mother entails, meeting you exactly where you are in your unique postpartum journey.

Your birth experience is a sacred rite of passage, a transformative event for both body and spirit. Postpartum massage is essential because it supports the body in naturally realigning the abdominal organs and uterus after being home to your baby for nine months. This gentle and support helps your body remember its alignment while honoring the transformation you have and still are experiencing.

You can begin receiving a postpartum massage after a vaginal delivery as soon as the day you give birth.

I offer postpartum massages 6-8 weeks after c-section. A c-section is not simply a birth but also a major abdominal surgery. At 6-8 weeks we can begin to treat the incision to support maintaining vital flow of energies withing the abdomen and the pelvis. Self care practices are porvided after treatment so that you can continue to support yourself at home after our treatment.

Postnatal massage can support many common postpartum challenges, including:

• Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)

• Discomfort from perineal tears or episiotomy healing

• Cesarean scar healing and tissue mobility

• Pelvic floor recovery and strengthening

• Abdominal organ and uterine realignment

• Upper back, neck, and shoulder tension from feeding and carrying baby

• Sacrum and lower back pain from labor and delivery

• Fluid retention and swelling in legs and feet

• Hormonal rebalancing and nervous system regulation

• Sleep deprivation recovery and deep restoration

Absolutely. Many women come in seeking simple relaxation and a moment of restoration for themselves. Postpartum massage isn't just for addressing discomfort, it's also for nurturing yourself, reconnecting with your body, and having a safe space just for you during this tender time of motherhood.

The first days, months, and even years postpartum are incredibly tender times emotionally. My integrative postpartum massage supports the emotional processing and integration of your birth experience. It helps with hormonal rebalancing, nervous system regulation, and can provide support for tension, anxiety, or signs of postpartum mood challenges.

Consider scheduling a postnatal massage if you're experiencing:

• Persistent pain or discomfort weeks or months after delivery

• Feeling disconnected from your body or overwhelmed by physical changes

• Difficulty sleeping even when baby sleeps

• Tension, anxiety, or signs of postpartum mood challenges

• A desire to reclaim your body and reconnect with yourself

• The need for nurturing touch and a safe space just for you

• Any time you feel you need support. Trust that instinct.
