Supporting New Mothers

As a new mother, you might find yourself recovering from labor, bracing yourself through the wild ride of life with a newborn and unsure where to turn for nurturing support.

That’s where postpartum massage at Restorative Massage Therapy comes in. After a difficult postpartum recovery with her first child, postpartum care became one of Amy’s great passions. Whether you're a few days post-delivery or it's six months down the road, Amy is here to support your recovery and transition to motherhood. 

Postpartum Massage Benefits
Postpartum massage can be done as soon as a few days after giving birth, including those who deliver via c-section. Amy’s approach focuses on encouraging a gentle reset for the body. This includes:

• Relief of residual pelvic and back pain from pregnancy, labor and delivery
• Massage to ease the discomforts associated with caring for a newborn – including neck and shoulder pain from poor sleep and frequent feeding sessions
• Nurturing postpartum abdominal massage helps to improve circulation, digestion, muscle tone and reorganization of organs that were displaced during pregnancy.
• Assisting the body as it regains proper pelvic alignment
• Improving circulation and elimination of excess retained fluids through lymphatic drainage massage
• Abdominal massage to encourage proper reorganization of organs and stimulation to encourage muscle tone
• Postural guidance to maintain longer benefits of the massage sessions.

How Soon Can I Receive a Postpartum Massage? 
Amy sees postpartum clients as soon as a few days to a several months after birth. Along with postpartum massage sessions at the studio, Amy sees  postpartum clients while they are still in the hospital and in their homes. Contact Amy directly to discuss any questions about required medical clearances or at-home / in-hospital sessions.
