The period after the birth of a child is a suspended time: immense joy is intertwined with fatigue, the body seeks a new balance, the soul needs space to breathe.
In this most precious phase, postpartum massage becomes a gentle embrace, a gesture that accompanies the woman on her new journey as a mother, supporting body and spirit with delicacy and depth.
What you need to know about postpartum massage and how it can aid recovery
Postpartum massage is a treatment designed to accompany the new mother in her recovery after pregnancy and childbirth.
Using a gentle but deep manual technique, this massage stimulates circulation, relaxes the most fatigued muscles (abdominal, pelvic, and thoracic), and supports hormonal rebalancing and postural recovery.
Each gesture is an invitation to slow down, release tension, and allow time just for oneself, away from the incessant demands of everyday life.
Each treatment is modeled on the woman’s needs, which can change from week to week: in the first few days, light, restraining movements will prevail, then, as the body regains strength, techniques more focused on muscle recovery and posture will be introduced.
