The Holistic Coach

Reducing anxiety and stress also helps prevent complications associated with pregnancy. Studies have shown that women with high levels of anxiety and stress have more complications, such as nausea and vomiting, longer labor, spontaneous abortions, postpartum complications, maternal illness and toxemia. Physically, internal organs can be regulated, stimulated and strengthened. The functioning of all body systems can be improved. Respiration becomes fuller and deeper.

Prenatal massage benefits Mother and Baby by increasing blood and lymphatic circulation. Tense muscles constrict the blood vessels that pass through or between them, decreasing blood flow from an area of the body, Massage relaxes tense muscles so the blood can flow more freely. Mother feels healthier and more relaxed which transfers to the baby, who also feels more relaxed.
