Abdominal Fertility Massage

Fertility Massage draws from many traditional indigenous cultures and techniques including abdominal-sacral massage, pulsing, reiki and guided visualisation. Combined with a bit of intuition this blended therapy results in a unique nurturing massage.

Our reproductive organs are the only system in our bodies that are dispensable! So if we are not functioning at optimum health, be that in a physical sense or emotionally, our bodies can choose to shut down our reproductive organs in order to preserve our health. Therefore in order for reproductive organs to be restored back to health, the body as a whole needs to be addressed at all levels – physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Fertility Massage assists in increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs, helping to properly position the womb, remove blockages and open up the pelvic and hip region, and in this way becomes the ideal therapy for those on their fertility journey.

In our modern, busy and competitive society, women often ignore their reproductive organs, thinking only of their wombs when they feel it is time to begin their family. Unfortunately for many their cycle has been largely ignored until this time, or thought of as an inconvenience needing to be medically-controlled . Emotionally and spiritually Fertility Massage encourages women to reconnect with their feminine selves, through breath work and visualisation, developing a more positive and loving attitude to their natural cycle. Although the name suggests a focus on fertility, this caring therapy benefits women through all stages of their productive life!

Diastasis Recti
What is a Diastasis Recti?
When you are pregnant the tummy expands to accommodate the growing foetus.  In 76% of women the rectus abdominis muscles split and move apart along the tummy line leaving a thin layer of connective tissue holding them together to take on the accompanying extra intra- adominal pressure during pregnancy and this is called the Diastasis Recti.

Once the baby is born the gap reduces but in approximately 30% of women the gap remains.  Often doctors do not talk about this and often mothers have no idea that their symptoms such as described below can be for this reason.  It is recommended to see a therapist if a Diastasis Recti is suspected as if it is not corrected it can lead to a number of problems including:

✔ Period Issues
✔ Future Fertility Issues
✔ Low Back Pain
✔ Doming Protruding Belly – ‘mummy tummy’ or ‘paunch’
✔ Leakage of the bladder
✔ Weak pelvic floor muscles
✔ Constipation
✔ Poor Posture
