The finishing touch! Facial cupping feels amazing, it moves lymph, promotes collagen production, increases circulation and lifts muscles all good things!🥳

NEW BLOG POST!

.. as if there isn't enough on your plate as a new mom. Now there's one more thing to take care of. Let's talk about YOU, momma.
/
You may not have a lot of time during your day but you certainly have a minute here and there to stretch and breathe - at least give yourself that much. Unless you smell smoke and have to run, NOTHING should stop you from taking this time for yourself (yes, even if you hear your baby crying, it’s okay it’s just a minute).
/
The more you give to yourself the more you have to give to others.
/
This is self-care in its easiest form. You don’t even have to leave the house! You can even stay in your pajamas if you like.

Posted • We worry about the decision to become parents. We worry about them while we're pregnant. We worry about them being born safely. We worry about them while they're awake and while they're asleep. We worry about pretty much every parenting decision we ever make.

If that sounds like you, you're in good company! Worries come more naturally to us than solutions to combat the worries.

3 things I keep in mind when I find myself feeling worried:

1️⃣ Thoughts do not equal actions. Thoughts do not equal facts. Thoughts happen in our heads, not in our reality.

2️⃣ Identify what you're feeling and acknowledge anxious thoughts without judgment or evaluation of them. Simple acknowledgement opens the door to relief, whereas attempting to ignore or suppress thoughts opens the door to anxiety.

3️⃣ Practice healthy coping skills. A calm body helps create the right atmosphere for a calm mind. Don't forgo self-care and include a physical activity you enjoy. The right headspace allows you to begin reframing anxious thoughts into healthy, realistic thoughts.

Know when to seek out additional support (🙋🏻‍♀️ that's me!). When you know you're not feeling like yourself, your worries are looming over you, and you're not enjoying life or parenthood the way you imagined, it's time to talk to someone who can help.

So my client asked me the other day “how long do I have to wait before coming back for a postpartum massage?” I was like, “girrrrl, if you gave birth vaginally you could hit me up on the way home from the hospital or I could even come to the hospital and give you a massage there.”⁣
/⁣
If you thought your prenatal massage left you feeling less tense and tight wait till you see how good you feel after a postpartum massage. Especially if you experienced a long labor, or maybe even had an epidural.⁣
/⁣
Not only does Postpartum massage help to balance hormones (which if that’s all it did it would be worth it) but it also helps to move fluid and release toxins and medications from you system.⁣
/⁣
Postpartum is when you need all the help and self-care tools you can get! And I swear 99% of you forget all the tips you learned during your pregnancy, like using your Bed Buddy for your tired shoulders or having someone work your back with your Dollar Store . And I can see some of you right now reading this like “oh yeah I forgot about them” and I know this is true because I hear it all the time from my post/mommies and my response is always “no what you did was you forgot about Mommy…don’t do that!”⁣

Learning how to follow your natural impulses, when it’s time to give birth, through calm awareness is a game changer. Empower yourself throughout the pregnancy by practicing how to relax the body and focusing on your breath. Read more here: https://www.massageamom.com/blog/orgasmic-birth

I always ask the dads/partners “so how’s your pregnancy going”? and if they’re also having prenatal massages and they always look at me like I’m crazy. That always cracks me up. “Well you’re pregnant too, maybe not in the physical sense, but you’re also getting ready to have a baby right? So, in some sense of the word you can consider yourself pregnant.” Some guys even have pregnancy symptoms — it’s a real thing.
