Moms & Babies—
 

Massage therapy offers relief for tired legs, tight shoulders, and achy low back to help ease the process of pregnancy and delivery.

 

Increased circulation of the blood and lymph, and balancing of the hormonal system afford greater nutrition to the baby via the placenta. And deep relaxation calms Mom’s nervous system, which translates to the baby, enhancing bonding.

Yoga has been scientifically shown to decrease stress levels, help relieve back pain, and to help keep mothers more comfortable, especially in the latter stages of pregnancy.

​
