Postpartum Partner Massage
Partner Massage After Pregnancy
Welcome to motherhood! Do you remember your name? When you last slept? Do you know how you got here?
Your average postpartum day: sleep, feed, poop, repeat. You’re stuck in this neverending cycle of sleeping for 5 minutes at a time, feeding your baby (sometimes while you’re sleeping), changing a poopy diaper (also sometimes while you’re still asleep), going back to sleep (sort of), waking up to feed the baby (but unsure if you’re actually asleep or awake), changing a diaper, and then forgetting what your name is, who you are, where you are, and how to even be a human! You know the drill. Being a new mom is overwhelming and stressful.
It’s a beautiful time in life yet is equally one of the most challenging times in life. New parenthood takes a major toll on your physical and mental health, with both affecting the other. It sometimes feels like the stress and discomfort is taking over your life and you no longer feel like yourself. Your relationship with your partner may be suffering as well, as you both feel the weight of new parenthood.

Included in the Course
If you’re a woman in the postpartum period (birth to 1 year+ after birth) you may be struggling with feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stressed about the new life you are living. Postpartum Partner Massage is a course designed to be flexible, relaxing, and ultimately to help you and your partner get through this complicated time in life in a unique way. The magic of massage therapy is that it has increible benefits for both your physical and mental health. The downside to massage therapy is that it can be difficult to find the time or energy to schedule yourself a massage get out of the house. That’s where I come in! Learning safe and effective massage techniques for both you and your partner gives you the flexibility to get a massage in your own home, on your own schedule, and with your partner’s own hands! I designed this course so that you can both learn how to massage each other and give yourselves the chance to strengthen your bond as new parents and get some physical relief (and in turn emotional relief) from the stress that comes along with parenting a newborn/infant.
