Momma Massage by Rosita Alvarez

Gentle, Effective Prenatal, Labor and Postpartum Massage
60 min ~ $120
90 min ~ $180

Recommended by midwives and nurses, I enjoy supporting you in relaxing through your birth journey.  I specialize in low back pain resolution, hip and shoulder releasing, jaw tension erasing, and energetic spiritual healing.

• for healthy happy birthing
• for relieving aches and pains
• for assisting partners in tangible ways to support the changes of their partner
• for extraordinary spiraling up from postpartum worries including depression, loss, and traumatic birth recovery.

I provide partner massage training for labor support as well. Just book as a regular massage and come together for an hour..
.
Many partners want clear-to-follow tools to give support.

Learn these labor massage positions: 1. Lie on side   2. Lean forward with pillows   3. Bed sitting   4. Slow dance

Partner pregnancy massage reminders:

• Eye contact/Breathe together first, use hugging hands --from your heart's connection.  Allow energy to circulate from heart out to hands. 
• Check in with your partner--massage between contractions vs sustained pressure during
• Don't use deep pressure-- instead use firm pressure on sacrum with stacked hands ( lunging legs to save your back)
• Postpartum:  C section--no abdominal massage until released by doctor & no deep tissue in legs for 6-8 weeks postpartum.
  
  

Swedish, prenatal, sports massage, deep pressure, polarity, reiki, myofascial release, lomi lomi, trigger point release and therapeutic touch are my main joys.  I also balance chakras and perform meridian massages.
