For Mama Rituals
Pregnancy is a time for pampering and expectation. Massage therapy during and after pregnancy can reduce anxiety and relieve muscle and joint pains, while organic facials are an ideal way to soothe and address the changing needs of your skin.

If you’re suffering with tired feet or water retention, Manual Lymphatic Drainage during pregnancy can be very helpful. This gentle massage technique helps to encourage the flow and release of excess fluid held within the tissues just below the skin. This is why many women find it very beneficial, especially during the later stages of pregnancy, to help prevent or treat edema.
​
Fluid retention can cause uncomfortable temporary conditions such as carpel tunnel and swollen ankles during pregnancy. Many women find that as they progress through the third trimester and reach the last few weeks of their pregnancy, swollen feet and ankles can become very uncomfortable. By gently moving extracellular fluid using light massage strokes, manual lymphatic drainage can be very beneficial, as well as promote relaxation and calm.
​
Depending on the condition, treatment can be localized or generalized to the whole body. Areas that can be treated include the legs, face, back or the whole body. Please contact me directly if you have any questions 434.989.4736.

While Manual Lymphatic Drainage is beneficial for a number of conditions, it is not for everyone. MLD cannot be performed on people with: - Decompensated Cardiac Insufficiency - Untreated Congestive Heart Failure (CHF - cardiac edema) - Untreated Cancer - Acute inflammation caused by pathogenic germs (bacteria, fungi, viruses). The germs could be spread by the manual lymph drainage, with - resulting blood poisoning (sepsis). - Acute renal failure - Acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT)/blood clots - Fever - Acute Cold/Flu
