Hello wonderful baby-makers in San Diego. Are you feeling a little sore? Need a little time to relax? Have swollen ankles? High blood pressure resulting from pregnancy? Love receiving massages? If you answered YES to any of these, you need a pregnancy massage!

Pregnancy massages are usually an hour but can last an hour and a half, and focus on relaxation. You will be in a side-lying position for the massage, and propped up very comfortably with pillows. Streches help ease lower-back pressure as well as hip/glutes/thigh pressure.

I will also teach you a great position to sleep in at night to help reduce soreness. Pregnancy massages are great for the baby, too! Do not think that just the moms are benefitting from receiving a pregnancy massage--your baby experiences what you will experiences too, which is tranquility.

Benefits of a pregnancy massage:
--Elimination of waste products through the lymphatic & circulatory system, combats fatigue.
--Increased circulation and reduced stress on the heart which keep blood pressure in check.

--Alleviation of muscle tightness, stiffness, tension, and cramping.
--Relief from headaches, stiff neck, backaches, sciatica, edema, and sore feet.
--An increase in oxygen and nutrients to the cells of mother and fetus; which means mom has more energy and fetus receives better nourishment.

--Relaxation and better sleep; which means a healthier and happier mom.
--Relaxation of muscles to improve rotation of breech presentation.
--Preparation and loosening of the pelvis before birth.
