This treatment is available during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy and can be booked at my home practice or at your own home for an additional fee. The massage techniques are tailored to the specific physical, mental, and emotional needs of the moment. The techniques used are a combination of Swedish massage, Shiatsu, Craniosacral, or Drain Lymphatic massage, or focus on just one technique, using a warm, neutral oil. The ritual is performed in a specially designed pregnancy table, which allows her to lie on her stomach with support for her chest, allowing her to immerse herself in a state of tranquility. We'll end our session with a soothing herbal tea to help you continue to feel relaxed and grounded.

This 4 hour ceremony may include:MassageSobada MayaDebriefing birth storyMeditationHerbal bath,Human temazcalRebozo technique It can be done one month after the birth, one year later, 3 years later, or 20 or 50 years later. The closing of the bones is a time-honored Mexican tradition that celebrates the birth of a baby and the mother's rebirth. By holding the rebozo with gentle yet firm hands, the mother's body is reminded that the gestation process is over and a new cycle has begun. This ceremony offers numerous benefits, including the integration of the mother's experience of giving birth, the adjustment of the sacrum and pelvis, the release of stress from childbirth, increased blood circulation, relaxed muscles and joints, balanced hormonal production, and support for breastfeeding. Additionally, the ceremony provides much-needed rest and containment for the mother, as well as social recognition for all that she has gone through.
