Jen offers Postpartum Massage and Bodywork designed for women who have recently given birth. It focuses on helping the body recover from pregnancy and childbirth, addressing physical and emotional changes. This type of massage can be done with gentle techniques and is tailored to suit the needs of new mothers, whether they had a vaginal delivery or a cesarean section.

1. Improves circulation: Enhances blood flow, which aids in reducing swelling and delivering nutrients and oxygen to healing tissues.

2. Promotes uterine contraction: Helps the uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size.

3. Relieves muscle tension: Alleviates tension and pain in the shoulders, back, and neck, which are often strained from breastfeeding and carrying the baby.

4. Eases cesarean recovery: Gentle massage around the scar area (once healed) can reduce adhesions and improve mobility.

5. Hormonal Balance

Helps regulate hormone levels and reduce cortisol (stress hormone) while increasing the release of endorphins, promoting a sense of well-being.

6. May help reduce postpartum depression and anxiety.

7. Improved Sleep

Encourages relaxation and reduces stress, helping new mothers sleep better.

8. Pain Relief

Addresses common postpartum issues such as back pain, neck pain, and wrist discomfort caused by the repetitive motions of childcare.

9. Improved Posture

Corrects posture changes due to pregnancy and breastfeeding, helping prevent long-term issues.

10. Stress Reduction

Provides time for the mother to focus on herself, reducing stress and promoting relaxation.

11. Supports Breastfeeding
