Post Partum Massage
Post Partum Massage
Our Post Partum Stomach Rehabilitation℠ is a Service Marked (SM) massage series that will coach the stomach muscles to return to the proper pre-pregnant position in the mom’s core. Consequently, mom can then safely strengthen her core stomach muscles. If left untreated, the excess strain and stress on back muscles that take the strain of a separated rectus can cause disc herniation and/or lower back pain for many years. We have become experts at helping moms restore their rectus to it’s proper position. We can show you how to check yourself for your degree of rectus diasti at your first appointment post birth. This massage series consists of six post partum massages within approximately a 13 week timespan.
For those moms with Baby Blues or Post Partum Depression, our Professional Aromatherapist offers a post partum mom essential oil blends customized to her needs (aromatherapy consult an additional fee). This special blend will be used in her post partum massage and mom will leave with a personal aromatic inhaler to use at home (Click Here to see our Clinical Aromatherapy Massage offerings). Please read some case study information below concerning the effectiveness of aromatherapy with the post partum mom.

Other case studies included 2,131 participants found an aromatherapy intervention improved postpartum physiological and psychological health, with positive effects shown on anxiety, depression, distress, fatigue, mood, nipple fissure pain, physical pain, post-cesarean-delivery pain, post-cesarean-delivery nausea, postepisiotomy pain, postepisiotomy recovery, sleep quality, and stress with no side effects.
Benefits of massage for the postpartum mom include:
- Reduced swelling. Many mothers find that their body swells during labor. Massaging can help to redistribute water within the body and encourage the draining and circulation of excess fluids.
- Improved milk production. For moms seeking an increase in their breast milk supply, massage can be a great way to increase circulation and the necessary hormones to make this happen.
- Hormone regulation. The postpartum body is one of constantly fluctuating hormones. In addition to touch, many massages involve essential oils that may help elevate one’s mood and may encourage hormonal balance.
- Reduced anxiety and depression. Many new parents experience the “baby blues” or even postpartum depression. Getting a massage can help to decrease stress contributing to these anxious and depressed feelings.
- Better sleep. Everyone knows new parents need as much sleep as they can get! Massage can help parents relax and get their body ready for deep, restorative sleep.
There is no exact timeline for how frequently you should get postpartum massages except for our Post Partum series. We recommend every two or three weeks for the six sessions and then according to your needs and desires.
55 Minute Session – $99

Please note that it takes 5-6 sessions to bring your stomach muscles back together.
