This session addresses the special needs of women are expecting or postpartum. Side-lying postures are used to prevent putting pressure on the abdomen while still giving relief to the body through the techniques used. Earthlite Prone Comfort Bolster and Headrest offers comfortable face-down positioning, which supports deeper breathing and improved lung function.

Postpartum massage:  Consult your doctor when it is save for you to start receiving massage. Receiving postpartum massage after giving birth can be very beneficial within the first 12 weeks. Light full relaxation body massage can bring pain relief and stress reduction as well as helping you sleep better, get the swelling down, help regulate hormones, improve milk production, and reduce anxiety and depression. Light abdominal massage for the first 2-3 weeks after birth may continue to be beneficial after birth until lochia is clear.
