MASSAGE

prenatal + postpartum + labor encouraging + hormone balance + grief support + face only

  • During this 90 minute massage your pregnant body will be propped with pillows and rotated from side-lying to sitting upright like you’re relaxing in your dad’s recliner. These positions will protect the blood flow going towards your heart from the vena cava while you enjoy a massage deep enough to melt your hips, back, and anywhere else your body might be feeling tension. Kim’s career has centered on pregnancy for two decades. She is knowledgeable in treating prenatal symptoms such as round ligament pain, pubic symphysis pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel, heartburn, swollen extremities, headaches, an increase in anxiety, and trouble sleeping etc.

  • This warming 90 minute massage is deeply soothing for nervous systems that may feel like they are running on fumes. Kim will address any aches associated with labor recovery, and your body’s adjustment to life with a newborn. This massage includes abdominal work that brings circulation and healing to your organs and tender core muscles following pregnancy release. Kim has brought comfort to bodies following both cesarean and vagianal births, as well as postpartum people recovering from abortion, miscarriage, and stillbirth.

  • These uniquely powerful sessions are available only if you are within the birthing window of your pregnancy. Labor Encouraging is not a guaranteed labor induction, however it may help stimulate contractions, sink the baby’s head lower into your pelvis, and energetically prepare you for labor. Along with massage, Kim uses various healing techniques that she has developed over twenty years, including; visualization, acupressure, cupping, aromatherapy, energy work, and an xxx deep jaw release! Be prepared for a slightly longer intake during this 90 minute session.

  • These 90 minute sessions will prioritize bringing heat and circulation to your abdomen. If you are preparing for pregnancy, it is best to receive abdominal massage after your menstrual bleed, but before ovulation. Kim is sensitive to the grief and challenges that often accompany individuals on their fertility journey. It is not uncommon for these sessions to be emotional. 

    If you are struggling with the hormonal fluctuations of being postpartum, perimenopausal, or menopausal, abdominal work can also help bring balance and ease to your body.

  • In addition to bodywork, Kim is a trained loss doula, and hospice volunteer who understands that grief comes in many forms, has no timeline, and can be wildly destabilizing. Receiving bodywork is a wonderful way to ground and connect with yourself while your body, mind, and spirit are moving through loss. It is not uncommon to cry, laugh, talk, or be silent during these 90 minute body work sessions.

  • These are short (20-30 min) affordable FACE ONLY sessions offered in a communal setting along with a rotation of other healing practitioners who bring a variety of skills and treatment options for anyone who attends these gatherings. It’s incredible how much better you feel when the tension in your face is released! Get in touch here to be added to the  FEEL GOOD community list.  All are welcome!
