Cesarean Birth Massage®


Recovering from a C-section is extremely challenging! With disrupted sleep, the effort to breastfeed, restricted mobility, discomfort, and the constant care for a newborn every few hours, it's a demanding experience following a significant abdominal surgery. Surprisingly, this is the only surgical procedure where you're expected to resume work right away. Indeed, looking after a newborn is work!


This massage will assist in speeding up your recovery and calming your nervous system, returning it to the parasympathetic state.


You also may be experiencing:


-Constipation

-Painful gas  

-Swelling

-Cannot lay flat

-Vaginal bleeding/afterbirth

-Insomnia

-Anxiety

-Depression 

-Struggling with milk supply

-Back pain

-Sciatic pain



Having worked as a certified massage therapist and birth worker for many years, I observed a lack of available healing bodywork for individuals who have given birth through cesarean section. There is a limited understanding of how to provide bodywork to support recovery from a cesarean birth, despite its numerous benefits. Drawing from my 15 years of experience as a certified massage therapist, birth worker, and a mother who underwent a c-section due to my son being breech and the midwife's recommendation against a breech birth, I possess firsthand knowledge of the recovery process and how to assist. This personal experience inspired me to develop specialized bodywork and healing packages tailored for those who have been delivered via cesarean section.


Throughout our Cesarean Birth Massage ™️, we employ a range of methods aimed at accelerating the healing process by diminishing swelling, scar tissue, and discomfort. The bodywork is tailored to your specific stage of recovery.


Bookings are available from 3 days up to 6 months. We also suggest the Postnatal Abdominal Massage after the 3-month mark.


Our signature cesarean birth massage aims to customize care to your needs.

We have hydraulic tables to help get you on and off the table, Incudine a comfortable reclined position during your massage.


The Milky Way massage is included in the cesarean birth massage as mothers who deliver via c-section may face challenges in initiating milk production. This is due to the absence of the hormonal surge that occurs during labor and vaginal delivery.
