Pregnancy massage lavishes the mother in positivity, releasing patterns of stress and preparing the mother for birth.
Research indicates pregnancy massage improves labor outcomes overall, and a pregnant mother receiving therapeutic touch carries the imprint of wellness to touch her baby.
The skin is a primary organ of sensory information for the baby to know the mother. Specialized bodywork nurtures the mother in positive and accepting feelings for herself and the baby while supporting the systemic demands of pregnancy.
