Post natal massage can support your recovery from the birth of your baby both physically and emotionally. Aaryan blends her specialised knowledge as a Practitioner of Pregnancy Massage, Naturopath, and Breastfeeding Counsellor to deliver a nurturing individualised consultation for each mother. Massage can help ease muscle strain from the birth, breastfeeding, sleep deprivation, reduce stress, restore posture, rebalance your pelvis and encourage abdominal healing.
When is it safe for me to get a post natal massage?
Chat to your midwife or obstetrician about getting medical clearance before leaving hospital. If you have had a natural deliver with no intervention you can get a massage as soon as possible. Just like pregnancy massage there are precautions so Aaryan asks all clients to fill out a comprehensive post natal questionaire for each pregnancy. Following a cesarean birth mothers need extra support and nurturing as it is major abdominal surgery. Once you have medical clearance, massage can assist with your specific recovery needs including cesarean scar release.
Can I bring my baby with me?
Absolutely and please bring any baby bouncers, prams, floor rugs, baby toys or anything else you need to make yourself and your baby comfortable. You can also bring a support person with you. The village of Nana Glen now has a new kids park which is perfect for entertaining older siblings whilst Mum takes some time out for herself.
How long are the treatments?
All initial appointments are 90 minutes, allowing plenty of time for a chat about your birth and recovery and a nurturing remedial massage (approximately 75mins). Followups are 90 minutes or 60 minutes pending your specific needs. Aaryan does offer a complete postnatal care package which includes both a postnatal massage and naturopathic consultation (2 hours).
