Massage has the
great ability of
passing into other
areas of our lives, so
if mom is feeling
rested and
unstressed, the rest
of the family, and
Baby, will feel the
benefits of having a
happy,
relaxed, and
focused mom who
feels better in her
body.
Massage is Not
Just a Luxury-

it is essential to maintaining
balance in your body as it
changes throughout
pregnancy.
In 1999, Dr. Tiffany Fields
at The Touch Research
Institute in Miami,
published a report that
showed women who have
regular massage
during pregnancy
experienced:

* Improved mood
* Increased and more
restful sleep
* Reduced anxiety
* Reduced back pain
* Reduction of pregnancy
induced sciatica
* Lower blood pressure
* Fewer complications
during labor
* An overall feeling of
health and well-being for
both
mom and the unborn baby.
How can massage help me during labor?  
Labor is an exciting yet overwhelming time. You are excited  
to finally meet your new baby, yet fearful about the  
unexpected and unpredictable events that labor brings.  
It can help to:                             
* Reduce anxiety  
* Reduce stress  
* Promote relaxation  
* Manage pain  
* Offer comfort and support  
* Lead to a successful labor and delivery  
What about getting a massage after the baby comes?

Massage after pregnancy is essential for the new mom.  Along with
structures after the birth.  It also allows the new mom to
receive some nurturing and emotional support at a time when she
is giving so much of herself to the new baby.

Massage can also benefit the post c-section mom by minimizing
the appearance of scar tissue and help both the physical and

Postpartum massage can be done as soon as 1 day after the
birth and continue far beyond th
e 6 week postpartum period.  
You can continue seeing Miranda for massage services long after
you've had your baby.   Your body will thank you for it!
Is it safe to get a massage while I'm pregnant?

Massage can be done during all three trimesters from the moment you
find out you are pregnant up until, and even during your birth,
and in
most high risk conditions. Massage by a qualified and experienced
professional will not cause miscarriage or pre-term labor to occur.

A midwife's or doctors approval is not
usually needed, but it is
recommended that your caregiver be aware that you are receiving  
massage.  Your therapist also needs to be aware of what is happening
d
uring your pregnancy in order to give you the best and most
appropriate care possible.

I recommend receiv
ing massage at least once a month. Following the
same pattern for massage as you do your doctor/midwife visits is a
great way to ensure your changing body gets all the TLC it needs.

Questions about Pregnancy & Postpartum  Massage
Do you see people who aren't pregnant?

Absolutely! I call my massage style 'integrative'and it translates
nicely
to those who are not pregnant or have not recently had a
baby, including men.  I love working with people who are dealing
with a variety of issues from routine relaxation and stress
reduction to specific muscle complaints.
I'm particularly adept at
addressing neck, shoulder, low back, hip and leg issues.


If you have any questions as to whether or not my massage style

will be able to address your specific complaints, please call me. I'd
be happy to answer your questions.
