Prenatal Massage During a session with Becca, you will comfortably lay on your side for the majority of the massage to ensure optimal blood flow to the baby. Deep pressure, if desired, can be applied safely throughout much of the body to your level of comfort, particularly shoulders, back and hips, although care is taken to avoid hard pressure on the legs.  Labor inducing acupressure points will be also be avoided until the 40th week of pregnancy. If you have any questions or concerns about receiving a Prenatal massage, please do not hesitate to contact Becca with your questions. 

Postpartum Massage For some people, massage can be even more important postpartum than it was during pregnancy. Whether you delivered vaginally or by C-Section, your entire body has truly achieved something remarkable. Hormonal, emotional and physical changes can feel even more abrupt than they did while pregnant. It is important to remember that during this time, self-care will actually benefit your newborn in the long run. Some benefits of postpartum massage include better sleep, hormone regulation, increased circulation to aid in the elimination of excess fluid, reduced swelling, and healing from C-section.
