Welcome to the Fourth trimester! You are now in the Matrescence period of your life which is the process of becoming a mother. As you navigate life following giving birth & becoming a parent the physical, psychological and emotional changes you are experiencing need support no matter the process you took to get here. Surrogacy or adoption births are equally as important for your postpartum journey and still deserve support.
Making time for postpartum care is difficult to fit in as you adjust to life with your newborn however it is essential. Taking an hour or two for yourself to allow healing will benefit your entire family! Newborns sense your tension. When you regulate your nervous system, your baby benefits!
You may schedule a facial plus a body massage tailored to your preference for a more blissful experience all in one session!
Bringing your newborn to your session is recommended as your baby benefits from being present while you receive self care. I recommend you plan as best as you can to avoid any disruption of your session. Your baby may join you on table or may be next to table in stroller. You may also schedule a session for your baby following your session. If bringing your baby to your session, please be mindful of time reserved.

Postnatal Lymphatic Drainage
Giving birth and the postnatal transition can cause some temporary disruption to the lymphatic system. This typically can occur due to increase in fluids, medication, surgical interventions, hormonal shifts, lactation, and stress which all overload the lymphatic system. Lymphatic Drainage supports lymphatic recovery, reduces swelling, bloating, inflammation, clogged ducts, engorgement, boosts supply, reduces risk for mastitis, promotes relaxation and more. Repeat sessions may be necessary until your lymphatic system stabilizes.
