Prenatal / Post-Partum / Infant Massage FAQ - ForeverNow Massage & Coaching

What is Prenatal Massage?

A prenatal massage helps soothes expecting mothers during their pregnancy. It consists of light to moderate touch.

We massage women in their Second & Third Trimesters Only. We don’t want to risk too many toxins going to a fetus during the first trimester.

How does massage help you during pregnancy?

The goal is to increase circulation, reduce pain, and improve overall feelings of well-being. I like to think I’m giving an extra dose of motherly love during these sessions.

How does massage help me recover from having my baby?

Having a child is exhilarating, but very exhausting. Your body has spent up to 40 weeks creating and growing new life. The birthing process, whether natural or surgical, is not easy.

Massage can help you regain control of your body. The needed recovery time can be reduced significantly.

Can I bring my baby with me? What about an infant massage?

Yes, your precious newborn is welcome! You can upgrade your appointment to add on 30 minutes of infant massage. I’ll teach you how to soothe your child naturally.

How can massage help me if I am experiencing any post-partum discomfort or depression?

It begins with loving, safe touch. A post-partum massage allows you to feel grounded and secure. Massage improves brain circulation, releases mood-lifting hormones, and reduces stress.

Using similar techniques to trauma massage, you learn about muscular-emotional memory and how to release it. A post-partum session will enable you to start feeling in control of your body and life once more.

What should I expect during my massage?

Prenatal: You will undress to your comfort level. You will be draped at all times. You will be positioned in the most comfortable ways possible. In fact, you can reposition your body as many times as it takes to relax and enjoy the massage.

Post-Partum: You will undress to your comfort level. You will be draped at all times. Added efforts will be included to help you ground, balance, and release.

What should I expect after my massage?

Drink plenty of water. With prenatal, we try to limit how many toxins are released so that we don’t harm the baby. If you start feeling nauseous or get a headache, just drink a little more water. Your body might be trying to flush toxins.

Mindy did a great job! She covered all the areas I needed and I felt so much better the next day. I look forward to going back.

Mindy is an amazing therapist and is able to connect on many levels. She listens and tailors a plan to meet your needs and provides recommendations from her experience that work for me.

I believe she does a wonderful job. I had surgery on July 11, so I am going for the lymphatic massages. You can tell a difference, I wish I would have known to do this anytime you have a surgery (that may create excess fluid). Mindy is so knowledgeable about how the body will react to different things and understands the "easier on the body" remedies. She is also easy to make accommodations that work for you. I will recommend her many times in the future.

I had so much stress and pain in my body. I just moved to Georgia and was researching places to go. I came across her website and felt drawn to come here. Mindy was Amazing!!!! She took the time to talk with me, focus on my concerns and the pain in my neck and shoulders was gone by the time I got off the table. I will be back no need to research any other places!! Best massage ever!!

After reading her website I knew I had found the right place to schedule a massage for my wife and I. Mindy is very professional and we communicated well. She takes her profession seriously and we had an overall great experience. Already started recommending her to friends in the area.

Mindy is the best. She's great and professional and knows her trade. My husband had problems with his shoulder and hasn't been able to move them in 18 years, he's now great with her services! I recommend her highly

Although I have only had 1 session so far (90 minutes), I have improved substantially. I've suffered from intense migraines for over 22 years, which were then accompanied by neck/shoulder pain for the last 10 years or so. It eventually became obvious that the two were linked, and so I sought out help with that new information in mind.I have been to neurologists, ENTs, close to a dozen chiropractors, I've had dry needling performed from multiple doctors, I've been to physical therapists, I've had numerous MRI scans and I've been given a plethora of pharmaceuticals to take for both pain & "treatment."With all of that said, I have never had such a vast improvement after just one single visit. I feel so relieved and hopeful that this truly is the solution to my problems and I so very much look forward to the subsequent visits to come. You can tell that Mindy really knows what she's doing and has the strength in her hands to back it up! I was afraid I wouldn't be able to endure the pain due to how much I hurt on a daily basis, but that wasn't the case at all and what little pain there was felt productive.I apologize for my long review, but I feel it's important to address how bad off I am and just how greatly this has helped! Enduring so much pain for so long is quite exhausting and depressing, among other things, so I'm overwhelmed to know that there just might be a silver lining! Thank you so very much, Mindy and I hope to come back sooner rather than later!

Mindy is an excellent massage therapist. She is very attentive and listens to your comments and concerns and always adjusts as necessary. You will not be disappointed and you won't have to look for anyone else.

Mindy is so professional and nice. After my one hour session I felt more relaxed than I have in a long time. If I had the money, I'd go every week!

Mindy is amazing! She gives the best massage of anyone, and my husband has seen many! He originally sent me to Mindy and I am so thankful. She takes the time to learn about you and your needs. She remembers the little things, like my extremely sensitive skin and that certain scents will trigger my migraines. She is professional, respectful, knowledgeable, and caring. I can't say enough good things about her and the quality of her work. She is a tremendous blessing to me!

I am amazed and very happy that massages by Mindy have helped pain that existed in my neck for over 10 years go away completely. I had previously been to many chiropractors and other massage therapists who helped to a point, but it wasn’t until being massaged by Minday that the pain went completely away. VERY impressive!!!!
