Core Services
Postpartum Massage Therapy
Our post-partum massage therapy are offered to provide relief and relaxation and giving birth. During your pregnancy, the usually stable joints of the pelvis loosened to allow easier passage of your baby during delivery. The weight gain that occurred also altered your posture and put additional strain on the muscles supporting your back and neck. Postpartum massage can be given on an ongoing basis to help ease backaches, stress, fatigue, headaches and postpartum depression. Keep in mind that many extended health plans cover massage therapy sessions.

Medical Grade Laser Hair Removal

Once you've given birth, it's considered normal for some hair loss to occur but it may not happen in the places you want it to. Our medical grade laser hair removal services will target the ares of unwanted hair growth that occurred during pregnancy so you can rediscover the skin you had while you were pregnant.
