Healing the emotional and physical body
The healing gift of touch during your pregnancy and postpartum recovery
Massage plays an integral part of prenatal and postnatal care.
​
We know that touch "feels good" and science backs us up: skin stimulation mobilises "feel good" hormones that counteract stress and oxytocin, the "bounding and loving hormone" that - among others - improves the functioning of the placenta as well as stimulates and speeds up contractions of the uterine wall, crucial both during childbirth and postpartum.
​
The second trimester is the best moment to start receiving regular massages and you can book regular appointments until the end of your postpartum window; massage alleviates as well as releases the physical and emotional tensions stored in your tissues.
