Postnatal Massage: Gentle support after baby.
The time after birth is often tender and meaningful.
Your body has done something immense. There can be a softness in this period, a heightened sensitivity and a need for care.
As the days and weeks unfold, it’s also common for the body and nervous system to feel uneven or in transition. Whether birth arrived smoothly, took unexpected turns, or held moments of loss or disappointment, there is no single way this time is “supposed” to feel, and no timeline for returning to equilibrium.
Postnatal massage offers gentle support during this period. It can help ease muscular and pelvic strain, support circulation, and provide a quiet place for the body to settle and integrate.
Some people come in early. Others wait weeks or months. Both are right.
When care feels possible, postnatal massage can be a way to tend to yourself, not to fix or rush recovery, but to offer steadiness while your body reorganizes.
In addition to postnatal massage, some people choose specialty work such as Mayan Abdominal Massage or lymphatic sessions during this time. These approaches can be especially supportive when the body feels tender, depleted, or slow to reorient.
Care after birth is not about bouncing back. It’s about having a place to land.
