Bodywork in Pregnancy & Postpartum
How's your body feeling?
We wish that bodywork was an integral part of perinatal health care, but unfortunately it's not. Bodywork has the power to impact how you feel during pregnancy, how you labor during birth, and the state of your body postpartum, no matter how your birth unfolds.
We also know it can be hard to know where to get started when approaching bodywork. It's so important to trust your bodywork providers, as you are trusting them with your own body!
Our goal is to make bodywork an accessible and reliable part of perinatal care. We want to take the guesswork out of who to go to, what services to ask for, and how to develop a plan to treat your ails and feel comfortable and confident in your bodywork plan.
We know this is a big task, and here's how we're starting:
