Pregnancy Massage

Massage for the expecting mother

prenatal

Massage during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum has a long and honorable tradition. Historical accounts of midwifery and childbearing practices demonstrate the use of manual assistance during labor and birth. Many traditional cultures used massage throughout the childbearing months to maintain optimal maternal and fetal health, prepare the gravida (pregnant woman) for labor, and ensure a speedy recovery. One of the greatest enemies of a healthy pregnancy is stress. Stress not only adversely affects the maternal physiology and emotional experience of pregnancy but also can have harmful effects on the in utero environment and fetal growth. Massage is one of the safest and most effective ways to reduce tension, stress, and anxiety. Additional benefits of prenatal massage include decreasing chronic muscle tension, increasing venous and lymphatic circulation, reducing swelling, easing varicose veins, normalizing blood pressure, and fostering deep breathing. Massage supports the dynamic physical and emotional changes of pregnancy.

Reiki Energy Healing

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a healing art originally born in Japan. The sound (Rei) means “Universal Life” and (Ki) or (Chi) means “Energy”. It is a subtle but yet effective form of energy work using spiritual life force or energy and the power of intentions. It is not based on a particular religious practice and we have seen Reiki healers from all corners of the world.

Reiki is the universal life energy that flows through all living things. We believe that everyone has the ability to connect, channel or tap into this healing energy and use it to heal themselves and help others. It is a vibrational healing practice used to promote balance throughout the human system. When a person’s energy is strong and flows freely their body and mind can come to a homeostasis state. In the same way when the energy is blocked and weakened it brings the physical or emotional body into imbalance and dis-ease.

We usually begin a session with our hands positioned at the person’s head or feet. The receiver might feel a warming sensation or a tingling during the session or just pure relaxation. Most people report the session to be very pleasant, relaxing and can be invigorating.

We offer 60 min Reiki session fully clothed or you can choose to receive an “Add-on” Reiki during your regular massage session to help ease tension and stress and to facilitate a favorable environment for healing on the physical, mental, and emotional level.

At Shakti Wellness Reiki can be done with or without direct touch (we may apply a light touch, or if a client prefers not to be touched they can indicate this before we begin and the session will be hands-off (where our hands only hove over  your body). Typically this is performed fully clothed and/or lying inside the sheets with a warm cover.

History of Reiki

Dr Mikao Usui was born on the 18th August 1865 in Japan and was the founder of the Usui System of Reiki or Usui Shiki Ryoho.  He is also often referred to as Usui Sensei, (Sensei meaning one who teaches). His tradition and methods were passed through several grandmasters of Reiki. Today, The Usui System of Natural Healing is still the form of Reiki most widely practiced. Practitioners and Master Teachers are trained through an initiation process where Masters pass on their knowledge and expertise to their students.

Usui also mastered Samurai swordsmanship and Kiko, the Japanese form of Chi Kung.  Usui was interested in different types of medicine, energy movement and religions, reading widely on all subjects.  Usui was looking to find a way to heal himself and others, using his hands, that didn’t deplete his own energy levels and he devoted many years searching for a system.  His open minded approach towards other belief systems and religions is why Reiki is accessible to everyone.

What is Reiki used to Treat?

Reiki is a great tool for stress reduction and relaxation. Many people use Reiki for wellness. Reiki is not a cure for a disease or illness, but it assist the body in creating an environment to facilitate healing. Reiki is a great tool to use as a complement to traditional medicine and is practiced in many hospitals and medical care settings.

How does Reiki relates to the Chakras?

Reiki and the chakras have something in common: They relate to energy and how it functions in the human body. Reiki healing is a whole body healing approach that relies on the transmission of energy through the hands into the person who is the recipient.

Developed in the early 19th century by Per Henrik Ling, this classic massage therapy is renowned for its ability to promote deep relaxation, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being. Swedish massage is not just a treatment;

“it’s an experience that combines long, flowing strokes with kneading, tapping, and other rhythmic techniques to leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.”

At the heart of Swedish massage are five core techniques: effleurage (long, gliding strokes), petrissage (kneading), friction (deep circular movements), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), and vibration (gentle shaking). Each technique is carefully crafted to work in harmony, ensuring that every muscle and joint receives the attention it needs.

Provide relief from muscle tension, improves flexibility, and simply offers a moment of tranquility, Swedish massage is the perfect choice for everybody. With the use of massage oils or lotions, the experience becomes even more indulgent, allowing the therapist’s hands to glide smoothly over your skin.

“So, take a deep breath, let go of your worries, and let the soothing magic of Swedish massage envelop you in bliss.”
