Colorado Birth Resources

I am a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist specializing in Prenatal, Labor and Postpartum Massage. I
have extensive training and experience working with women during the childbearing years and understand
the physical and emotional changes that occur during this time. My expertise and experience ensure a safe,
relaxing, and rejuvenating massage session specifically addressing the complaints of pregnant and
postpartum women.

Massage is an excellent way of treating yourself during the miraculous but sometimes awkward stages of
pregnancy.
In 1999, Dr. Tiffany Fields at The Touch Research Institute in Miami, published a report that showed women
who have regular massage during pregnancy experienced:

· Improved mood
· Increased and more restful sleep
· Reduced anxiety
· Reduced back pain
· Reduction of pregnancy induced sciatica
· Lower blood pressure
· Fewer complications during labor
· An overall feeling of health and well-being for both mom and the unborn baby

Labor is an exciting yet overwhelming time. You are excited to finally meet your new baby, yet fearful about
the unexpected and unpredictable events that labor brings. Massage is especially helpful at this time. It can
help to:
· Reduce anxiety
· Reduce stress
· Promote relaxation
· Manage pain
· Offer comfort and support
· Lead to a successful labor and delivery

Massage after pregnancy can be very helpful for the new mom. Along with providing a time for mom to rest,
relax, and get those sore muscles worked out, postpartum massage can help with realigning the body's
structures after the baby is born. It can mitigate the effects of postpartum depression and can be a time for
the new mom to receive some nurturing and emotional support at a time when she is giving so much of
herself to the new baby.
Massage can also benefit the post c-section mom by minimizing the aprearance of scar tissue and help both
the physical and emotional healing that is sometimes needed after a c-section.
Massage has the great ability of passing into other areas of our lives, so if mom is feeling rested, and
unstressed, baby will feel the benefits of having a more relaxed, focused mom.

I also offer infant massage classes in group and private sessions.
