Postpartum Massage

After childbirth, a mother’s body is faced with new challenges. From carrying babies to changing diapers, breastfeeding to bathing, these activities stress the backs of even the most posture-conscious women. In addition, soreness from delivery, engorgement or sore nipples, and general fatigue can cause a mother to unconsciously slouch, putting additional strain on muscles.

Postpartum massage concentrates on alleviating the strain and regaining health. Miller explains that it includes stretching the back, lengthening the muscles, and balancing pelvic rotation. In addition, deep work and trigger-point therapy help release strain built up over the months of pregnancy.

Posture, of course, determines how well a mother’s body takes the strain. “(Massage therapy) helps you to regain a powerful posture. We lose it when we’re pregnant; we fight to maintain a posture that is erect as best we can and end up getting into compensatory patterns that are not good. I try to teach a woman how she should correct those postural imbalances,” says Miller.

ABOUT THE FILM

When The Bough Breaks is a feature length documentary about postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis.  Narrated and Executive Produced by Brooke Shields, this shocking film uncovers this very public health issue which affects one in five new mothers after childbirth.

The film follows Lindsay Gerszt, a mother who has been suffering from PPD for six years. Lindsay agrees to let the cameras document her and give us an in depth look at her path to recovery. We meet women who have committed infanticide and families who have lost loved ones to suicide. 

Babies are dying, women aren't speaking out and the signs are being missed.  When The Bough Breaks takes us on a journey to find answers and break the silence.  This film also features stories from singer Carnie Wilson, actress Tanya Newbould, celebrity chef Aarti Sequeira and Peggy Tanous of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Doterra essential oils are a life saver! I want to say that Doterra, essential oils, helped me greatly during my post partum depression.

I received Aromatherapy spine therapy, where they applied various essential oils to my spine. There was no massage involved. Before I received this treatment I felt like I was living in a fog. During the treatment I felt relaxed and wasn't actually expecting to feel different. I was just helping my friend practice. 
But the very next day I felt immensely different I felt the fog lift and I had a new vigor in my energy levels. I felt like I could focus like a light switch had turned on!

I am so grateful for Doterra's products for the Science and High Quality products they offer the world. 
I am so grateful for my friend to offer me a service I didn't even know existed!
