Let’s Talk About it Momma 🌹

Because mothers spend so much time holding everyone else. 🌹
Whether you are pregnant, postpartum or moving through the many changes that come with creating and nurturing life, this experience was created as an opportunity for you to be held too.
A space to be nurtured, cared for and supported while your body moves through one of life's most transformative seasons.

Absolutely! 🌹
Pregnancy requires a different approach, which is why every session honours where you are in your journey.
Every session is approached with care and respect for all that your body is doing right now. This is your time to slow down, receive and be cared for while your body does something truly incredible.

I recommend waiting until the second trimester before beginning treatment.
This allows the body time to settle into pregnancy before we begin working together.
From there, sessions can be received throughout pregnancy while your baby continues to grow .🌹

Held as a Mother was created for pregnancy and postpartum.
Whether you are growing your baby, adjusting to life after birth or navigating the many changes that come with postpartum.
This experience was designed with you in mind.

A nurturing experience rooted in Brazilian lymphatic drainage.
While the session is approached with gentleness and care, I still use Brazilian lymphatic drainage techniques to allow movement within the body and soften areas that may be holding fluid, heaviness or tension.
The intention is for you to leave feeling lighter, supported and more connected to your body. 🌹

Both 🌹
This experience is rooted in Brazilian lymphatic drainage, so I am still working with the lymphatic system throughout the session.
Pregnancy requires a different approach. I bring a softer touch and a little more nurturing into the session.
The intention is for you to feel cared for while still receiving the benefits of Brazilian lymphatic drainage.

During pregnancy, I focus on areas such as the legs, hips, glutes, back, arms, face and feet. Places that commonly hold fluid, heaviness and tension.
I do not work directly on the abdomen during pregnancy. 🌹

During Held as a Mother, I do not work directly on the belly. 🌹

Your comfort is always the priority 🌹
During your session, you will spend most of your time lying comfortably on your back.
A professional prenatal bolster may be used when needed to help you feel comfortable and supported throughout your treatment.

Yes🌹Swelling is common during pregnancy and postpartum.
Held as a Mother is rooted in Brazilian lymphatic drainage techniques that encourage movement within the lymphatic system and help move excess fluid throughout the body.

Every birth and recovery is different. I encourage you to listen to your body and follow any guidance provided by your healthcare provider.
There is no perfect timeline.
Your body continues to heal, adjust and settle long after delivery.
Whether you are a few days postpartum or a few months into your journey, this experience is designed to meet you where you are 🙏🏽🌹
