In the world of massage therapy, it's common to find practitioners with little specialized training in prenatal and postpartum care. Yet with the right practitioner, Prenatal Massage is incredibly safe and highly beneficial. 

 

At Mulberry Acupuncture & Wellness, our Massage Therapist, Sarah, has received specialized pregnancy and postpartum education from leaders in the industry. With that comes a comprehensive awareness of pregnancy, bodily changes and shifts, a particular knowledge of postural and pain patterns, and special techniques to offer functional support from conception through postpartum. 

 

With pregnancy comes a wide range of experiences that can include joy, gratitude, and excitement, and for some, isolation, worry, grief, and physical discomforts. We're here to support and normalize wherever you are in your pregnancy and offer hands-on care. As they say, "It takes a village." and we're honored to be a part of yours.

• Less nausea during the first trimester

• Postural support

• Balanced uterine expansion

Postpartum Massage 

The postpartum period, often the most overlooked stage of the perinatal journey in Western culture, is arguably the time when care is needed most. For this stage, which begins after birth and extends years beyond, we offer continued support through Massage specialized to your needs.

• Accelerate healing of the pelvic & abdominal tissues
