The Healing Benefits of Postpartum Bodywork
Jun 20, 2023
EPISODE 26 SHOW NOTES
I’m super excited to share more about the work I do outside of my birth education and coaching, which is bodywork! I actually specialize in prenatal massage as a massage therapist, but my deep passion is in craniosacral therapy. I work with moms who are trying to conceive, through their pregnancies, and in the postpartum period. I get to see the healing benefits of postpartum bodywork firsthand, and they truly are incredible.
In today’s episode, I’m talking about:
- Reasons why moms and babies comes to me for bodywork in the postpartum period
- The beautiful and intricate work of craniosacral therapy
- What the fascia is and how I work on it in the body
- What craniosacral therapy can help with
- Real stories of moms and babies I’ve worked with who processed their birth stories together
- Physical benefits of craniosacral therapy
The healing benefits of postpartum bodywork are extremely powerful when it comes to helping both moms and their babies.
Body work is an incredible tool to incorporate into the overall health and wellness of mothers during the postpartum period. Whether it's craniosacral therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic care, belly binding, or something else, all of these offer healing support in some way.
I’m very passionate about this work, because bodywork is an essential part of the healing process for both mothers and babies in the postpartum period. I believe we should ALL be getting bodywork when we are postpartum, because we just lived through one of the most intense experiences of our lives. After all, when a mother is well-nurtured and thriving, the rest of her family is too!
