The things I wish I knew about massage & bodywork before I had babies…
✨ That massage is not just a bougie event you get to experience — it’s a powerful nervous system support.
✨ That it helps shift your body from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest, which is essential for healing, hormone balance, and deep rest.
✨ That regular massage can boost your immune system, reduce inflammation, and help your body better cope with both big and small stressors.
Before babies in 2011 and 2014 I didn’t realize how much stress — even the unseen, “I’m fine” kind — was storing in my tissues.
I didn’t know that the aches, tension, and mental fog weren’t just from lack of sleep or a busy life…
They were signs my body needed more nervous system care. Also Motherhood opened my eyes to this 😁
Now I know:
💆♀️ Regular, intentional bodywork isn’t indulgent — it’s essential.
🌀 Consistency rewires patterns of tension and pain.
🌿 And small acts of self-care create lasting change in how we feel and function every day.
We do often give a lot of ourselves as a mom and a wife and an employee or whatever it is for you. I encourage you to pause and Tune in. Your body is speaking. Massage helps you listen.
