Benefits of Post Natal Touch Therapy for Mothers


1. Physical Rebalancing:  Ebb & Flow Integration (EFI) Post Natal Touch Therapy aids the body in creating the state of balance appropriate for the new post natal period. Whatever the circumstances and conditions of pregnancy, labor and birth, EFI Touch Therapy Solutions address the Mom’s physical concerns. This includes cesarean births. Areas of discomfort, sensitivity, tension, stiffness etc. are worked with in the most appropriate and gentle way for each woman so that her body has a chance to fully recover from whatever the circumstances of her birth may have been.

2. Emotional/Mental Rebalancing: Through EFI breathing techniques along with hands on therapy Mom is supported to allow the respiratory and circulatory systems help her to let thoughts and feelings flow in whatever  progression is naturally present for her during a session. Allowing feelings and thoughts to flow can help to release tensions held physically. We acknowledge hormonal changes during the post natal period and ways to support balance. Moms are reminded that the post natal period is at least three months after the birth and holds it’s own unique time for changes, integration and health.

3. Spiritual Rebalancing: Through EFI processes we  provide Moms the opportunity to experience greater peace, satisfaction and tranquility which can allow them to more fully connect with their own unique relationship with spirit. Helping Moms to know there is a greater web of support and energy for them can help them through moments or days when their own individual resources feel limited.

4. Relational/Family Rebalancing: Not only is the relationship between Mom and newborn primary but also the relationship with partner, siblings and extended family. The more completely Mom and newborn are centered and secure in their relationship the more quality time Mom can have to experience, enjoy and meet the changes with partner and family.

5. Establishing a strong foundation for parenting: EFI Touch Therapy Solutions during the post natal period aim to help Moms feel complete with their prenatal and birth experience and ready to enter the next phase of parenting feeling capable and comfortable from the inside out.
