Most of our team have prenatal and postnatal massage, acupuncture, Reiki and Pilates training and are mothers.
Prenatal and Postnatal Massage
Prenatal and postnatal massage involves deep bodywork to improve circulation, take the strain off muscles and joints, and help during prenatal and postpartum pregnancy phases.
Prenatal and postnatal massage has many benefits, such as hormone regulation, reduced swelling, and improved nerve pain. Prenatal and postnatal massage can also help relieve back strain and headaches and ease postpartum stress.
Prenatal and Postnatal Acupuncture
Prenatal acupuncture prepares a woman's body for labour by tonifying and nourishing the body. For example, prenatal acupuncture helps relax and soften uterine ligaments, stimulate blood flow to the pelvis and help encourage the baby to descend into the birth canal properly. In the first trimester, prenatal acupuncture helps nourish the body and ease early symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, and heartburn.
Postnatal acupuncture reduces the aches, pains, constipation, and swelling that accompany pregnancy. In addition, postpartum acupuncture and herbal medicine help you recover after birth and support milk production and hormonal balance.
Prenatal and Postnatal Pilates
Prenatal Pilates activates the transverse abdominals muscles that wrap around your torso like a corset, giving the sensation of "hugging the baby" while lifting and strengthening the pelvic floor muscles simultaneously.
Postnatal Pilates helps deter typical postpartum issues, such as lower back and shoulder tension, emphasizing deep breathing for increased energy, mental clarity, and patience. In addition, postnatal Pilates can aid recovery from pregnancy, making you feel calmer and more connected. The proper movements can also help heal diastasis recti, an excessive separation of the abdominals common in postpartum women.

A loving way to nurture a deeper connection to yourself and to your baby.
