Prenatal Care
ZenThai Shiatsu offers a rich support to your prenatal care plan. Including mobilisation techniques that partially support your weight & gently explore fascial reach… we can increase your range of motion affected by an ever changing pregnant body. Reverent womb releases can help create welcome space for both bub and mumma. While moxibustion therapy offers nourishment & relaxation to the whole system.
Postnatal Care
ZenThai Shiatsu… a nourishing reprieve to a mumma and the new demands on her postnatal body. Through stretching and acupressure we can relieve tensions and address fatigue. Moxibustion is powerful medicine for drawing-in and returning to self after the expansion of birth… supporting tone to both the uterus and pelvic ligaments. Also available… belly-loving oil massage and nurturing mumma swaddling.
Bellywork- Massage for the Viscera
“The organs carry on the functions of our internal survival… They provide us with our sense of volume, full-bodiedness and organic authenticity. Organs are the primary habitats or natural environments of our emotions, aspirations, and the memories of our inner reactions to our personal histories.” Sensing, Feeling, and Action. Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. Our overall inner health stems from both the vitality and function of our inner organs, as well as the health of our emotional reality. Our organs and our musculoskeletal structure are explicitly linked… Bellywork offers a direct, somatic dialogue with the organs and the fascia that connects them to our structure.
This conversation can support:
-Increased organ function and health
-Detoxification
-Improved digestion and respiration
-Lower back pain
-More freedom of movement, expression, and aliveness of the organs and your structure
-Increased body awareness and depth of presence
Bellywork is integrated within the context of a ZenThai Shiatsu treatment, whereby your whole body will feel included and nourished.
