...healing, attentive and nourishing touch...
Receiving pregnancy massage has been shown to relieve depression, reduce pain associated with pregnancy, improve circulation, lower anxiety, improve sleep and is associated with better birth outcomes - plus it feels good! Mothers report that receiving gentle, nurturing touch during their pregnancies helped them both psychologically and emotionally as well as physically. Acupressure, cranial sacral, trigger point therapy and Swedish massage are all commonly used in pregnancy massage to alleviate general discomfort, sciatic nerve pain and reduce edema and muscle tension. Using specially designed orthopedic cushions the mother is propped for perfect comfort and health for herself and baby.
Massage is also a wonderful and very healing, therapeutic modality for post-partum women. Post-partum massage uses many of the same techniques to reduce pain and discomfort of the post-partum period. Cranial sacral and Maya Abdominal Therapy (ATMAT) are both used postpartum to help align the sacrum and pelvis and restore the abdominal organs to their optimal position for recovery and health.
"Jessica’s pregnancy massage left me deeply relaxed and feeling nurtured. She seemed to know just what my aching hips and lower back needed and she paid special attention to my concerns. Her use of acupressure combined with her in-depth knowledge of pregnancy provides for a an excellent and restorative experience. For a pregnant mama, she’s just the best!" J.R.
"Jessica Morell has an amazing ability to nourish and cherish not only with her hands but simply by being in her presence. Her massage not only heals on the physical level but the emotional and spiritual as well; I always felt safe, honored and beautiful while she was working on me and would highly recommend her massage at any stage of pregnancy!" F.D.
"Every time I look at my beautiful little boy, I am reminded of what an amazing experience it was to give birth and how lucky we were to have Jes there to guide us. Her calm presence of mind, loving touch and soothing approach allowed my husband and me to feel like everything was going to be okay and happen as it should. Her professionalism and consideration earned her a lot of respect with the hospital staff and made our stay in the delivery room relatively stress free, not counting the contractions of course. Jes' prenatal massages also provided a wonderful opportunity to bond with one another, release any fears, and embrace the beauty that is a pregnant body. She creates a comfortable and soothing environment, where you can relax and enjoy being pampered for a little while. Something that is equally important and just as enjoyable postpartum as well. I look forward to my visits with Jes!" B.S.
"Jes was such a find and I marvel at my luck. As I made my way up the path to the treatment space of the Snuggery, the peace and quiet of the land calmed me even before I walked into her space. Her soothing presence and voice put me at ease and I knew it worth the effort to arrive at this magical place. Jes listened to what I wanted to get out of my massage and her touch was exactly perfect for my sore muscles. She has an energy about her that transmits throughout the treatment. It renewed and relaxed my body and soul. I'll be back! Thank you Jes!" A.C.
"Thank you for your attentive care and healing hands. I entered your beautiful Massage Oasis suffering from stress and back pain and left feeling quite literally like a different person! It is rare and precious to encounter massage that is not only soothing, but transformative." J.G.
