Pre and Postnatal Massage 

Picture
Red Moon Wellness
I am an expert in prenatal and postpartum massage (in addition to being a birth doula, placenta encapsulator, and childbirth educator).  I have helped many pregnant clients with sciatic pain, swelling (edema) of the hands and feet, low back pain, SI joint paint, insomnia, digestive trouble, leg cramps, restless leg syndrome, stress relief, and relief of general muscle tension and pain. Toward the end of your pregnancy I can help your body prepare for childbirth and even do acupressure and cupping therapy to help naturally stimulate labor when you are near or past your due date.
