Pregnancy Massage

Our therapist Shannon Howe created Beautiful Bellies, a passion of hers that includes pregnancy massage, labour and delivery support massage and birth doula services.
 

Pregnancy is a wonderful and life-changing experience for a woman. Along with it, many new physical and physiological changes occur. Pregnancy massage is not only safe but also effective in helping to alleviate many of the symptoms associated with pregnancy, and can help bring immense relief to the expectant mother.

Birth Doula Services

A birth doula is a trained professional who provides physical, emotional and informational support to individuals before, during and after childbirth. Their role is to support and assist the birthing person and their partner throughout the process by offering comfort measures, advocacy and guidance. Birth doulas focus on offering personalized support and education to help individuals have a positive childbirth experience.

 

The birth doula does not provide medical care or clinical tasks, and does not speak on behalf of the client.

​

The labour and delivery support massage is a service provided to aid in delivery of your baby. It is common for families to have many questions. Shannon provides hands-on support and answers for expectant parents through the labour and delivery stages of childbirth.

Infant Massage

Infant massage is a type of gentle massage therapy specifically designed for babies. It involves using rhythmic strokes and gentle techniques to massage the baby's body, including their arms, legs, back, and abdomen. The massage is typically done by a parent or caregiver and is often accompanied with soft spoken words to create a relaxing atmosphere.

​

Infant massage is believed to have several benefits for both the baby and the caregiver. Some potential benefits of infant massage may include: Bonding, relaxation, improved sleep, nervous system stimulation, relief from discomfort and enhanced communication to name a few.
