Natal Benefits of EFI Touch Therapy

Cultures throughout the world have customarily included massage during labor. Having an EFI Perinatal Touch Therapist work with you just prior to or during early labor has been found by many women to be a great way to enhance the process of labor. Touch instruction for birth partners is also available so they can assist their partners between contractions and be present in a very successful physical way during labor and birth.


 

   


  • Aids relaxation and breathing between and with contractions

  • Reduces tension from over tight muscles.

  • Releases tension in neck, shoulders and face which allows more energy for letting go in the abdomen and pelvis.

  • Provides emotional support and encouragement.

  • Touch support from the birth partner enhances bonding with the Mother and a real feeling of working together for the birth of the baby.

  • Bonding with the baby at birth flows more seamlessly from the comfort and naturalness of touch during labor.
