Mother Nurture Prenatal Massage~
30-Min/$65, 60-Min/$85 or 75-Min/$95
(Recommended anytime after the 1st trimester.)
Pregnancy
places strong demands on a woman's body, making it an ideal time for
her to be cared for and pampered. This gentle technique, given as the
expectant mother rests in a side-lying position, is designed to relieve
tension & aches from the extra weight and shift in the center of
gravity, reduce swelling, soothe the nervous system, lessen fatigue
& even enhance energy. Circulation is also improved, aiding the
supply of vital nutrients and oxygenated blood to both mommy and child.
These benefits provide comfort and well-being for mom & baby-on-the
way.
Prenatal
Massage acts as a natural way to ease body aches, which is especially helpful since women are
discouraged from taking traditional pain-relievers during pregnancy.
After the first trimester, a series of Prenatal Massage sessions are
recommended every 2-4 weeks so that the cumulative effects have a chance
to take hold & become more profound. For an appreciative
momma-to-be, the chance to be pampered with nurturing touch makes this
one "mother" of a massage!
PS--To expand the nurturing experience even further you may want to consider adding a Cocoa Butter Belly Rub!
Better Belly Body Butter Rub ~ $15
Try saying that 3 times fast! Although the name may be a tongue-twister, this
service is ideal for ladies who desire to take the nurturing to the
next level during a Prenatal Massage session. It can benefit clients
with PMS cramping, IBS or other abdominal issues. This soothing
stomach massage incorporates rhythmic kneading & soft circular
strokes, along with your choice of Cocoa Butter Cream, Body Butter or
scented essential oils. Many women believe that regular use of Cocoa
Butter minimizes the appearance of stretch-marks on their torso, plus
it feels incredibly soothing when applied through gentle massage. Your tummy will treasure this tranquil treat!

an area where Therapeutic Massage can be of benefit. Many couples

connection, stimulation of the foot Reflexology acupressure points
related to the reproductive organs, gentle abdominal massage and hip
stretches & the use of aromatherapy heat packs to relax the tummy
& pelvis muscles.
Acupuncture Treatments for Infertility
by Diwucy Liu, Licensed Acupuncturist
First 60-Minute Acupuncture Session/$100
Follow-up Sessions/$85 each
On its own, acupuncture can be seen as an alternative way of treating
fertility problems. It is also used as a complementary therapy to
modern fertility treatments. When used alone, though, acupuncture is
probably most effective for those couples who are experiencing a
functional problem, like irregular ovulation,
rather than a structural problem, like a blockage in the sperm ducts.
Some practitioners will also recommend Chinese herbs for infertility
that will supplement the acupuncture and any other treatment you may be
receiving. If you take herbs while receiving other medical treatments,
be sure to tell your doctor. Some herbs can interfere with the function
of fertility drugs and procedures.
Most practicing acupuncturists say that acupuncture helps by regulating your body’s system. This aids in blood flow to the reproductive organs and stabilizes hormone levels. This in turn will increase ovarian function in women as well as sperm production in men.
Used as a complementary form of therapy for women undergoing other
fertility treatments, acupuncture has been proven to be especially
beneficial. Some believe that acupuncture works by helping women stay
more relaxed through stressful fertility treatments. In particular,
studies have shown that acupuncture definitely increases the rate of pregnancy in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). (Reprinted from http://www.pregnancy-info.net/infertility_acupuncture.html
Prenatal Energy Balancing Session~
30-Min/$55 or
60-Min/$75
Energy Balancing Therapy received during the early stages of pregnancy may help to reduce tiredness and morning sickness. It has been known to reduce aches & pains associated with the changing body of the mommy-to-be. Energy Therapy can also ease potential fears & anxieties that can occur during the course of a pregnancy, up to and including, the birth process. Energy Therapy provides an oasis of calm during an especially emotional time in a woman's life & gives a much needed sensation of peacefulness. This quiet, reflective time that occurs in a session, along with the positive energy brought about, can create a powerful bonding experience between mother & child.
Energy work may even be done before conception for a woman who intends to become pregnant. Females trying to conceive may benefit from the relaxation & stress-relief that an Energy Balancing session provides.
Mum's the Word Postpartum Massage~
60-Min/$85 or 75-Min/$85
Massage
Therapy is not only good before childbirth, but also afterwards.
Postpartum Massage focuses on helping to restore the woman's body to its
pre-pregnancy condition. Massage plays an important part in the
restoration of the abdominal muscle wall and the uterus to its normal
state. It helps realign the body weight to its original distribution and
tones the over-stretched areas of skin over the belly.
As with
all massages, it relieves muscle tension and stress from everyday
activities, especially new mothering duties. It not only helps restore
the physical body to the new mom, but it also helps to revive her
emotional state. The loving touch of hands can provide a time to relax
& reflect for the new mother, and helps to get her through the
postpartum blues. When the mother feels good about herself, it is
easier to meet the needs of her newborn.
