Classes: Partner Massage & Labor Support
This is a private 90 minute session, for the mother-to-be and her labor support person, or the one who will be present during the birth of the baby (husband, partner, friend, mother, etc.). Gina will provide individual instruction to you and your partner on massage and comfort measures for the mother before and during labor. The session includes tips on sleeping comfortably. In addition, we will practice different positions of comfort during labor, using a birth ball, pillows, and chairs. There are many benefits of massage before & during labor, such as decrease in anxiety, heart rate, and blood pressure. Also, the partner will learn basic, specific, and effective, massage techniques to use with the mother. The session includes hand-outs and lavender massage oil to take with you.
