Welcome
Pregnancy is one of the most special times in a woman's life. The
pregnant mother's body is blossoming as it grows and nourishes a
new life. With all of the changes happening in a woman's body, it
is important to consider what you are doing to facilitate a healthy
pregnancy and birth. We offer integrated services to families
during the childbearing year to support a healthy and happy
mother and baby.
We currently offer prenatal yoga classes, therapeutic pregnancy
and postpartum massage, as well as doula/labor support
services. We are dedicated to making your pregnancy as
comfortable as possible from conception all the way to the birth of
your child. We even provide specialized postpartum support with
therapeutic massage for easing the body back into its natural
alignment.
The Prenatal Massage Specialist, Kristi Gabriel, is one of the
most qualified in all of Jacksonville. This means that she
specializes in the exact massage techniques needed by
expectant mothers. A good prenatal massage can ease many of
the discomforts that are often the side effects of pregnancy. The
secret is, a skilled Pregnancy Massage Therapist can go right to
the root of the pain and discomfort, and relieve it. A combination
between a session of deep relaxation added to the skill of a
trained neuromuscular therapist allows you the most relief from the
common discomforts of pregnancy. With regularly scheduled
massage treatments, most of the pain and discomfort can be
eliminated completely.
Rather than getting a pregnancy massage from someone who is a
jack of all trades, who only sees a pregnant mother every month or
two, experience a massage from an expert who is skilled in the
massage YOU need, a massage designed especially for the
mother-to-be.
But what are clients saying about their massages?
"…I had been finding it increasingly hard to get much sleep, for
numerous pregnancy related reasons, two of which were very
painful hips and lower back ache. Then I received a therapeutic
massage that worked on the trigger points and after the first visit I
felt relief from the pain. I continued with regular massages for the
duration of my pregnancy and the hip pain totally vanished.”
Prenatal yoga is a natural addition to maintaining a comfortable
pregnancy throughout these 9 months of changes. It aids in
providing increased flexibility, focus and concentration, and
decrease swelling, anxiety and stress. Connecting with your baby
through your yoga classes offers an emotional bond as well as the
bond that can be formed through the camaraderie with other
pregnant moms.
Be sure when you sign up for a yoga class, you aren't just
modifying your regular yoga moves. It's so much better for your
pregnant body if you take pregnancy yoga with a true specialist.
One of the top prenatal yoga instructors in Jacksonville, Michelle
Baur, has been a group exercise instructor since 1995, but
specializes in the unique needs of moms during pregnancy and
postpartum.
What do moms who take prenatal yoga have to say?
“I was able to labor using many of the positions I had learned in
prenatal yoga.”
"Your Yoga class has been such a vital component of both my
pregnancies. You have helped me feel healthy and flexible
during the whole 9 months."
Doula/labor support services are for expectant mothers who want
to experience a fully supported positive birth experience. A doula
is able to provide gentle support and expertise that the whole
family needs, when you need it the most...during your labor and at
the birth of your baby. Your doula will stay with you through the
duration of your labor, assisting you with breathing and relaxation
techniques, physical comfort measures, as well as position
changes. On top of that, you don't have to try to remember
everything about labor and birth - the doula is an expert and can
be there to help answer questions in a way that you can
understand and help you get the birth that you desire. Most of all,
the doula is the only person involved that can focus primarily on the
care for the mother's emotional transition into becoming a new
mother. That is an aspect often overlooked when so many others
have to look out for the phsycial safety and well being of the
mother and baby first.
If you were considering the need for a doula, feel free to read the
article I recently wrote called “5 Reasons why you need a doula in
Jacksonville” that was recently featured on EzineArticles.com.
More information about each of the services is provided on the
individual pages throughout the website. Feel free to read more
on the Prenatal Massage, Prenatal Yoga and Doula Pages. Then
contact the practitioner directly for more information, to schedule
classes or the book an appointment.
