Prenatal Massages
Pregnancy is a remarkable journey. Prenatal massage focuses on the special needs of you mamas-to-be as your body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy, nurturing your body and mind using techniques that are safe and beneficial for you and your baby.
Prenatal massage benefits all of your body’s systems, improving circulation, easing pregnancy discomfort and promoting deep relaxation, resulting in improved sleep. It also relieves depression and anxiety, helping the mama-to-be prepare for labour.
After an initial consultation and assessment, treatments are done on a side lying position to help reduce the pressure on the vena cava, which can impact the blood flow to mother and baby and if appropriate, a professional pregnancy cushion is available for those who prefers lying on a prone position. With the help of a bolstering system an ideal posture for your comfort, safety and relaxation is achieved. The massage can be carried out from the first day to the last day of pregnancy.
Postpartum Massages
The postpartum period is a delicate time for a new parent. After delivery a your physical body goes through a tremendous shift and daily life is more demanding with caring for an infant combined with sleep deprivation. In some cultures postpartum massage helps ease aches, pains, stress, fatigue, and postpartum depression. It promotes relaxation, helping new mamas to sleep better. It also helps the body return to its pre-pregnancy state and improves blood circulation. Overall, postnatal massage promotes a new parent's emotional, mental and physical wellbeing.
The massage can be arranged with the baby close to you so there will be time allowances for baby cuddles. Better yet, arrange a time when your partner is home to mind the baby while you have time to yourself.
Traditional Malay postpartum massage care packages to aid in further healing are also available. This is an mother focused package that honours you as a new parent and your birth journey. A large part of this treatment is focused on warmth and restoring blood circulation and womb health. Please enquire with me directly for prices and availability.
Reaching back to my cultural heritage: Both emotional and physical benefits are associated with belly binding, which is a wonderful way to provide new mamas a chance to practice a little self care in the early postpartum period. The Indo-Malay practice of wrapping the abdominal area after childbirth has proven mental and physical benefits that allow newly postpartum mamas help their bodies’ recovery.
In Asia, wrapping is done from 5 days postpartum, or once the incision has healed if there was a cesarean birth. The wrap is worn 8-10 hours per day throughout the postpartum period. However, we advise that it is best worn after the approval of your midwife or medical practitioner.
