Bodywork 101


If you are pregnant or trying to conceive, you are probably more focused on your body, it's pieces parts and inner mechanisms than ever before. Bodywork is a way to work with your innate design, to help you bring forth this new life as healthy and joyfully as possible.

Bodywork (specifically pregnancy massage and CranioSacral therapy) helps your body maintain your innate balance and health through this time of profound emotional, structural and energetic change. And, it just plain feels so good!

Pregnancy massage focuses on the changes your body sustains during pregnancy, such as the way your posture changes as your center of gravity shifts with the baby's growth, the changes in your circulatory system as blood flows adjusts to the needs of this growing child and the ways your muscles need
to work more and differently.

Statistically, pregnancy massage has been shown to enhance the function of Mom's immune system, reduce Mom's blood pressure/heart/respiratory rates, contributes to fewer prenatal and labor complications, reduce fear and anxiety and contributes to reduced labor times.

Craniosacral therapy is an extremely gentle yet powerful modality that helps balance your body and your energy. One of the main goals of CST is to improve the mobility of your pelvis so that your baby will be able to move into an ideal birth position.
