Postpartum Massage
Let me nurture you with a postpartum massage. Allowing you the opportunity to pause from your very important job of being a Mum. Giving you the space to recalibrate, slow down, reconnect and return to yourself for an hour or two. Providing you with the restorative and nurturing space to simply be.
Taking time out for yourself in the days, weeks and months after giving birth to your Baby, is an essential part of being a Mum. Self-care is something that not only will benefit you but also the rest of the family. If you fill your cup first, and keep topping it up you will be happier and more resilient. This is something that I would like to change the stigma around. IT IS NOT SELFISH TO LOOK AFTER YOURSELF! Postpartum massage should be an integral part of your postpartum healing plan, as it facilitates the numerous changes that you face as a new parent - physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Benefits of Postpartum Massage
Calms the nervous system by encouraging relaxation and the release of endorphins (pain-reducing, feel-good hormones).
Eases muscle aches and pains that develop from feeding and carrying your Baby.
Improves circulation throughout the body.
Encourages the healing from having a C-section.
It encourages the flow of the lymphatic system, which in turn allows reduces swelling and encourages more efficient removal of toxins from the body in a safe manner.
May relieve physical and emotional stress from being sleep deprived.
May reduce depression and anxiety as hormones fluctuate, releasing endorphins, oxytocin and dopamine, all hormones that help elevate your mood.
Breastfeeding milk flow may be supported with massage as it increases circulation and lymph flow around the breasts, under the arms and neck.
It is beneficial for reducing scar tissue. Massaging the abdomen and other areas can help reduce the appearance and overall comfort of a scar, as they can usually cause restrictions and discomfort.
