Massage and Touch for Labor
As a hands on Birth Doula I can provide you with deep counter pressure support during each stage of labor, delivery and the postpartum period.
Benefits of massage:
Massage activates the release of oxytocin and endorphins, two powerful hormones that promote relaxation and comfort during the various stages of labor. By fostering a sense of tranquility, massage can significantly aid in managing the intensity of contractions as labor progresses. When combined with an upright posture, targeted pressure points, and gentle touch techniques, massage not only helps alleviate discomfort but also encourages optimal positioning of your baby for birth. This holistic approach can facilitate engagement and ease the journey toward delivery.
The soothing power of massage and nurturing touch allows you to immerse yourself in a state of deep relaxation, creating a supportive environment for both you and your baby during this transformative experience over to the process of labor and birth. Massage is also very effective should you choose an epidural as it creates calm in your body while also raising your oxytocin levels and making you feel less tense or anxious. I am well trained in the art of massage both for your baby and the birthing person, creating a space where you don’t feel rushed unless there is a medical reason to hurry your birth keeping you and your baby safe…your body and baby know exactly what to do.
