When The Baby’s Fussy And You Are, Too
The baby’s been fussy…sleep is a precious commodity…and you’re tired.
Welcoming a new baby is a joyful and trying time. Both of you are adjusting to a new life and to each other! You’re also trying to get used to your body, one that feels weak and sore.
As certified pregnancy massage therapists, we love motherhood so much we took advanced training beyond the national massage certification to give you the most qualified and compassionate care possible.
That’s why we recommend post-natal massage. It helps ease the stresses that come from a new mother’s rapid transition from pregnancy to post-birth.
Post-natal massage improves circulation throughout your body, reducing post-partum swelling. And that aching back? It alleviates tension that comes from the body adjusting to a new set of daily tasks such as bending, lifting, and carrying a baby.
Post-natal massage also calms hormones, helps you regain lost energy, return the uterus to its original size, and help your body to return to its pre-pregnancy condition.
Massage helps to replace exhaustion with deep relaxation. Mother Nature’s helping hand also assists you with losing weight by giving new tone to your muscles, reducing cellulite, and alleviating neck and shoulder pain.
We can’t help with the middle of the night feedings, but we can certainly help you recuperate from childbirth and ease into motherhood with post-natal massage.

Your skin is the largest organ of your body, and boy, does it take a lot of abuse! For some reason, people give their skin super powers, believing it can handle as much as they dish out.
That’s why we’re listing the top 4 fake super powers that actually wreck your skin…and drive us crazy.
Here goes:
The Tanning Bed – No, they are not safer than the sun’s rays; nothing could be further from the truth. With concentrated bursts of ultraviolet A and B, both of which cause skin to age, your risk of melanoma skin cancer triples! The obvious solution is to AVOID THEM!
Smoking – This addiction literally sucks the oxygen right out of your blood. Smoking does what the sun does, but from the inside out! It also yellows your skin causing it to become weak, tired and listless looking. Please stop!
Scrubbing Your Skin – Yes, washing your skin is great; scrubbing it like a scouring pad isn’t! It’s very irritating to your skin and can actually worsen acne. Be gentle and get the same results without the irritation.
Using The Wrong Facial Cleanser – Washing your face with deodorant soap or body wash completely wrecks the pH balance of your skin. It can actually make you look older, and your skin dull and lifeless. Use a facial cleanser created for the unique needs of your skin!
So were you surprised by any of our revelations? If you’ve been giving your skin super powers, we beg you to cease and desist. Get help now!
And that’s what we do best. It’s never too late to have happy, younger skin.

Excuse #1: “I Don’t Have Time To Do All Of That!”
We get it.
Most of us have incredibly busy lives. But what concerns us is the message behind the belief that taking care of your skin is like preparing for an exam, time-consuming and exhausting.
If taking care of your skin were that intensive nobody would do it!
So the question we have for that excuse is, “What exactly is all that?
We tailor your skin care routine with your lifestyle! For some women, a cleanser, exfoliant and moisturizer are what they will commit to. We never try to sell you anything you don’t want because you’re not going to use it.
That’s why we rely on you to rate your commitment to skincare. If it’s entry level, meaning, a cleanser, exfoliant, and moisturizer, then GREAT. We heartily applaud you!
Once you apply the products, you’ll immediately see and feel the difference. Why would you ever want to go back to something that didn’t work? The bottom line is this. We work with you.
We simply don’t have time for anything else!

Have you noticed those little lines on your lower cheek when you look in the mirror?
They are called Accordion Lines.
They are static wrinkles that are present on the outer sides of your mouth even when you’re not smiling.
As we age, facial changes occur. And unfortunately, wrinkles appear over time. These “not so charming” dimples on this part of the face are the result of repeated muscle movements that form our facial expressions, especially when we smile.
Furthermore, when there is a decrease in naturally occurring sugars and fat in the same area, it results to a loss of volume, making the lines more visible.
Gravity, sun damage and other environmental and genetic factors can also play a part.
Restoring the naturally occurring sugars that help create volume under the skin can diminish the appearance of these pesky accordion lines.
