Thai Yoga Massage combines the advantages of a great restorative yoga class with the healing benefits of massage. Clients are able to totally relax and let go as they are taken through passive stretches and rhythmic massage techniques given with intention and metta, the spirit of loving kindness. Thai Yoga Massage is wonderful for athletes and yogis as well as for those who may consider themselves not-so-flexible. (Thai sessions are done on mats on the floor and clients should wear comfortable loose fitting clothes.)
Enjoy safe, nurturing touch that addresses your ever changing body in pregnancy and helps you to find more comfort and space for you and for baby. Prenatal bodywork can bring relief to many of the common concerns of pregnant women while helping you to reduce stress, practice surrender, and become more aware of your body. Allow time to honor and tune in to your body and baby while getting relief from low back pain, hip soreness, upper back tightness, leg cramps, swelling and other issues of life and pregnancy.
Explore and understand your pelvis and find positions and movements that provide the most opening for baby to come through. Learn and experience techniques to help soften and open the soft tissue connections of the pelvis. Address areas of holding and tension that may be present from previous pregnancies, birth experiences, trauma or from unknown origin. Practice breath, massage and positioning for laboring and birth so that you can soften and surrender.
This is a holistic massage adapted for the specific needs and concerns of new moms including techniques to relieve muscle tension & over stretched muscles, balance hormones, address fatigue & loss of sleep, restore muscle tone and proper postural alignment, ease symptoms of the baby blues or post partum depression, and in case of c-section, encourage proper healing of c-section scars.
A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional & informational support to a mother & her partner before, during & just after birth. Studies have shown that when doulas attend births, labors are shorter with fewer interventions and less need for pain medication. Babies are often healthier & they breastfeed more easily. Kate believes that birth is a transformational event in a woman’s life & seeks to support her choices for her best birth.
