Research acknowledges the relationship between stress, sleep and certain pregnancy outcomes. By promoting relaxation and providing comfort for common pregnancy discomforts, prenatal massage creates an overall sense of wellbeing and enhances the mother’s instinctive abilities to create and nurture, strengthening the bond between mother and child.
Prenatal massage dates as far back as time itself. The ancient techniques of Ayurvedic Medicine reveal precise instruction on the use of massage and essential oils before, during and after pregnancy. In a time when there was no medicine, the benefits of massage and essential oils were highly regarded and sought after.
