Massage

Monique Coleman-Hamid is a Licensed Massage Therapist who received training and certification in the MotherMassage® : Massage During Pregnancy technique from it's developer, Elaine Stillerman, LMT. The MotherMassage® technique focuses on the understanding and respect of the dynamic changes women undergo during their pregnancies, labor, and postpartum, and how to support these changes through every step of their incredible journey. Here are some of the benefits:

 

• Reduces the strain on your lower back, abdomen and shoulders caused by postural changes. As your pregnancy advances into your third trimester, this relief is most welcome.
• Stabilizes hormonal levels and makes their side effects, like morning sickness, less severe.
• Naturally sedates your nervous system, producing much-needed rest and relaxation. Insomnia or difficulty sleeping may be relieved.
• Increases muscle tone and breaks down knots and muscle spasms. Edema, or swelling of the extremities is greatly reduced. Leg and foot achiness is reduced.
• Prepares you for labor by increasing the flexibility of your ligaments, tendons and joints and supporting your kinesthetic awareness.
• Helps restore the body to its pre-pregnant condition. It also addresses the stress of carrying and caring for a newborn. It can speed the recovery by bringing relief of sore muscles and help the mother to relax more easily. Abdominal massage helps shrink the uterus and relieve subcutaneous scar tissue.

Schedule your massage once a week, once a month or just once during your pregnancy. You are sure to feel rejuvenated and revitalized. Schedule a post natal massage to help your body return to it's prenatal health.
