Whether you had a vaginal delivery or C-section, postnatal massage supports your body's natural healing process while providing much-needed relaxation and restoration during the demanding early weeks of motherhood.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I start postnatal massage after giving birth?
For vaginal delivery with no complications, you can typically start after 1-2 weeks once bleeding decreases and you feel ready. For C-section delivery, wait 4-6 weeks until your incision heals and you receive clearance from your doctor. Always consult your healthcare provider first, especially if you had complications during delivery or recovery.
Can I get massage while breastfeeding?
Absolutely! Postnatal massage is highly beneficial for nursing mothers. We focus on relieving upper back, shoulder, and neck tension from nursing positions and holding baby. Some mothers experience increased milk supply after massage due to improved circulation and relaxation. We recommend nursing or pumping before your session for comfort, and you can bring baby if needed.
Will massage help with my C-section recovery?
Yes—once healed (typically 4-6 weeks post-surgery with doctor clearance), massage significantly aids C-section recovery. We use gentle techniques around the incision area to reduce scar tissue formation, improve circulation, and address compensatory muscle tension in your back and hips. Specialized abdominal massage can help restore core function and reduce numbness around the scar.
Can postnatal massage help with postpartum depression?
While not a replacement for medical treatment, postnatal massage can significantly support mental wellness during postpartum recovery. Massage reduces stress hormones (cortisol), increases feel-good hormones (serotonin and dopamine), provides crucial self-care time, and helps you reconnect with your body. Many new mothers report improved mood and reduced anxiety after regular massage sessions.
What if I can't leave my baby for an appointment?
We understand the challenge of leaving your newborn! Many new mothers bring baby along—we have a quiet, private space and are baby-friendly. You can also schedule shorter sessions (30-45 minutes) instead of full hour, or coordinate timing around your partner's schedule or baby's longest nap. Your wellness matters, and we'll work with you to make it happen.
