We highly recommend this massage pre or post surgical operation to help increase the detoxification process and to decrease swelling that may occur after the procedure.

Labor Prep Massage
Labor prep massage is a full body, 90 minute massage with specific acupressure points on ankles to naturally encourage labor. No matter what your birth plan is - this massage will help with the labor process.

The pressure points in ankles and feet help induce labor, relieve lower back, and muscle contraction discomfort. This treatment is a gentle but effective way to nudge the body to get ready for labor. It works with the body to ripen the cervix, efface + dilate. This massage can open the pelvis to encourage baby's descent and promote a speedier birth.
