RELAXING MASSAGE

Massage and Fertility

Being kind to yourself in times of struggle is very important for you and your partner. Relaxing massage can offer wonderful support on this journey. When the mind is focused on achieving specific results, there is a tendency to want to control the future which is always uncertain and as a result there is a need to have your desired outcome as soon as possible. As the future we want often doesn’t happen right away, we start blaming, punishing and doubting ourselves and others for our shortcomings. This process tends to generate a lot of mental-emotional tension and self-pressure which can then actively or passively affect people around you and cause hormonal imbalances.

Soothing and long strokes of NO HANDS Massage will help you to deepen your breath, restore your energy, relax mentally and physically and reconnect with the innocence of your heart. As the mind starts to settle and the body relaxes, there may come a deep sense of peace and, perhaps, joy. When the body and mind are at peace, the body is more susceptible to conception. Touch is a powerful medicine and excellent support for the mind and body.

Pregnancy Massage

You can start receiving pregnancy massage as soon as you complete your first trimester. During the first trimester, massage is generally ill-advised due to a higher risk of miscarriage. After this period, however, there are many benefits to having a pregnancy massage such as: 

  • Muscular discomforts – Massages improve circulation and can therefore stimulate the flow of blood to areas where there is discomfort such as leg cramps, muscle stiffness, tension and knots
  • Muscular imbalances are often caused by postural changes. Massage can help muscles in the back, neck and shoulders regain balance and relieve discomfort.
  • Sciatic pain during pregnancy can be caused by a tight buttock muscle and massage can help to relax this muscle, relieving the pain caused by the pinched nerve.
  • Constipation – regular massage will encourage your bowels to move.
  • Headaches and sinus pains – Face, neck and shoulder massages can help to alleviate sinus pressure and headaches caused by tension.
  • Swelling/oedema – Swelling in your ankles and feet can be caused by extra pressure your uterus places on your legs. Massage can improve circulation and lymph flow to the affected areas which helps to reduce swelling.
