PRE & POSTNATAL MASSAGE

Support for Every Stage of the Childbearing Journey

Pre and postnatal massage at Heart to Hand offers compassionate, therapeutic bodywork to support the physical, emotional, and nervous system changes that occur during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Care is designed to meet you where you are, before, during, and after birth, with steady support for both body and mind.

Whether you are seeking relief from pregnancy related discomfort, restorative care after birth, or space to process and integrate your birth experience, each session is approached with intention and respect. This work honors the complexity of childbearing and the individuality of your body, recognizing that no two sessions, and no two experiences, are the same.

 

PREGNANCY MASSAGE

Pregnancy massage is a specialized form of prenatal massage therapy that supports the body through all stages of pregnancy. As your body adapts to change, massage can help ease common discomforts such as low back pain, hip and pelvic tension, sciatica, swelling, headaches, and fatigue.

BIRTH EXPERIENCE INTEGRATION

Birth is a powerful experience that can continue to shape the body, mind, and nervous system long after it ends. Birth Experience Integration sessions offer a calm, supportive space to share and process your birth story without judgment or interruption.

This work supports emotional integration and nervous system regulation and is often most effective when paired with therapeutic or postpartum massage, allowing both physical and emotional layers of the experience to be gently addressed.

NATURAL INDUCTION MASSAGE

Natural induction massage is offered in the final weeks of pregnancy to support the body’s natural readiness for labor. Using intentional, firm pressure on specific acupressure points, this session encourages relaxation, cervical softening, and alignment with the body’s natural rhythms.

The work also supports the natural progression toward labor, calming the nervous system while helping the body and mind settle  as birth approaches without force or urgency.
