Caring for your mind, body and spirit is always important and never more so than during pregnancy and postpartum. Prenatal massage helps to prepare your rapidly changing body for an easier delivery through relaxation techniques and the relief of aches and pains that arise during pregnancy.

Combining both up-to-date-conventional medical knowledge and the wisdom of Traditional Maya Medicine (proven techniques used by Maya midwives for centuries), we are extensively trained to address many common ailments that occur during pregnancy, from low back pain and sciatica to headaches and round ligament pain.
