Studies show that moms-to-be who get a weekly pregnancy massage have lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and higher levels of the feel-good hormones serotonin and dopamine.
If your baby is breech, massage can make space for your baby to turn, it helps to open and relax your muscles and you.
We can also add moxa (moxibustion) to the treatment.
