What to expect with the 90 min Bodywork:

​

Each session may include warm oil scalp and foot massage, acupressure, and a chinese herbal foot soak to warm and aid the womb in its healing. We will enter into deeply therapeutic and relaxing bodywork to include full body slow, restorative strokes with a warm blend of sesame, castor, and magnesium oil for tissue nourishment, pain relief, and relaxation. Focus will be on balancing specific energetic pathways, soothing the nervous system, and promoting womb recovery through detailed abdominal work. There may also be gentle myofascial unwinding, lymphatic drainage, and Jin Shin Jyutsu (Japanese energy healing) to promote healing and smooth recovery, uterine tonification and contraction, hormonal balance, sleep and mood, pain relief, process any birth trauma, scar tissue recovery (if applicable), and regulate the nervous system. Baby is welcome and encouraged to stay with you throughout the bodywork session if you desire. 

​

(Babies are our mirrors. There is no separation between baby and mom for the first months of their lives. They mimic us, read us, and pick up on our energies. If we allow and observe, they will give us insight into where we are stuck or still not free. So when we treat the mother, we also treat the child in many ways.)

​

-Post-session integration period will allow for optional time to crawl into bed and rest while I prepare you a warm drink and bowl of custom herbal congee.
