After a safe vaginal birth or cesarean section, you will need all the support you need to recover physically, mentally and emotionally from the process of child birth which you bravely went through. What postnatal massage does is to prepare you physically and emotionally to take care of your baby.

• Relieves birth and breastfeeding pains.
• Decreases Postpartum swelling by increasing the elimination of excess fluids that may have collected in different parts of the body.

• Aids body relaxation and stimulates the body to release endorphins – natural painkillers and feel-good hormones secreted by the brain.
• Speeds up recovery after birth. This includes a quick recovery after a cesarean section by increasing blood supply. It is especially helpful with internal healing.
• Serves as a mood elevator.
• Reduces the risk of postnatal depression which is very common.
