What are the benefits of prenatal massages? When should I get a prenatal massage? Can prenatal massage help with back pain?

What is a doula? What type of services do birth and postpartum doulas provide?

If you are perimenopausal like I am, I'm here to give you some flowers and acknowledge the challenges you may be facing physically and emotionally 🌻 

Just as @mamassage_brooklyn is here to support fertility, pregnancy and postpartum - we are also here to support reproductive health in all it's forms, including during the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause. 

The postpartum session can include swedish massage, myofascial release, acupressure, abdominal massage, manual lymph drainage, warm hydrotherapy, therapeutic breast/chest massage to support lactation and reduce engorgement, and/or other techniques to support the postpartum period. After your session we will serve you medicinal tea that is appropriate for postpartum concerns.

Moms night out turns to wellness weekend for Mothers Day !

@mamassage_brooklyn we support the Black Mamas Matter movement led by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance through donations, information sharing, and supportive services for black mamas. 

Are you 0-12 weeks postpartum after pregnancy, recovering from any type of birth? If so, the MaMassage Postpartum Recovery session will be tailored to your specific needs.

While the abdomen or belly area is often left out of many massages, there are so many reasons not to skip work in this region of the body. Abdominal massage has many benefits.

Can we talk about breast / chest health?

This fall I had my tenth mammogram . Since I have dense tissue I also always have to have an ultrasound. I always go to the same place, b/c I like the rad tech there. (Great providers make a difference!)

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the winter season (also the Kidneys and Urinary Bladder) correspond to the Water element of the 5 element theory. The winter is the most Yin (dark, earth, female, receptive) time of the year. The Qi (Chi) flows deeply into the body, which supports the Kidneys. This is a time of rest and consolidating the energy that will be needed for the Spring and the season of growth and renewal. To be healthy, we strive to be in harmony with the seasons.
