Every Body Deserves Care
Therapeutic Massage
In this 60 or 90 minute therapeutic session, enjoy a custom massage combining Swedish, deep tissue, and myofascial release techniques to meet your unique needs and nurture your body, mind, and spirit.
Prenatal Massage
Growing a human is hard work, and pregnancy can take a physical toll on your body. As your baby grows and your body adapts to support your expanding belly, it is common to experience musculoskeletal pain and strain.
In addition to relieving the aches and pains that come with pregnancy, studies have found that prenatal massage has a host of other measurable benefits including lower cortisol levels, improved sleep patterns, and a reduction in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
And massage doesn’t just benefit the pregnant parent; increased relaxation contributes to steadier blood pressure, healthy circulation to the uterus and placenta, and better immune system functioning, all of which support a healthy baby!
Receiving regular massage during your pregnancy can relieve muscle tension, cultivate physical flexibility, and enhance mind-body awareness, helping prepare you for an active, engaged, and empowered birth experience.
Emma incorporates her training as a birth doula and her knowledge of pelvic biomechanics and Spinning Babies into her prenatal massage sessions, offering clients tips and techniques to carry with them beyond the treatment room.
Postpartum Massage
Postpartum massage offers a nurturing and emotionally supportive environment that can facilitate deep relaxation, offer pain relief, and reduce anxiety. Scar massage and mobilization work can be included in sessions for those recovering from Cesarean birth.
Clients are welcome to bring their infants along for postpartum massage sessions, which can be structured to accommodate breastfeeding and skin to skin contact. To minimize barriers to self care during the postpartum period, free in-office childcare may be available during your appointment time.
