Regular use of massage can help with all of these. It helps to calm your nervous system-allowing your body to calm down and heal itself, allowing you to maintain physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Scheduling yourself for a monthly or twice monthly massage is more than a luxury, it helps you to manage stress, offers relief from acute pain, and/or helps with the management of chronic pain. It has been proven to reduce tension, and anxiety, improve circulation thereby bringing fresh oxygen to your cells, and helps to stimulate the lymphatic system aiding in releasing toxins and waste in the body.
Through the use of touch and energetic alignment I will help your body heal itself and bring balance back to the body, mind and soul. I work to clear away unwanted energy, work your muscles and joints through various massage strokes and stretches, and encourage you to actively breathe and relax through your session. You will sleep more soundly, respond easier to life stresses and feel better.

After your baby is born come and see us for some post natal massage, this helps to allow your body to heal, bringing muscle tone back, helping your circulation, aiding in lymphatic drainage to rid your body of any waste, and help to align your hormones. Postnatal massage also helps to realign body weight and soothe your tired muscles from the work of caring for your newborn since we are often using muscles we are not used to using in carrying our babies around.
Prenatal yoga helps to open up the body, readying you for an easier delivery, and a more rapid recovery. And once you are ready yoga can help you to regain your pre pregnancy.
