PRE & POST NATAL MASSAGE
Supporting women toward a healthy and positive pregnancy with massage is important to April. Research shows the importance of implementing stress reduction during pregnancy and after delivery for not only the mental and physical health of the mother but also for the baby. Research shows that regular massage during pregnancy can reduce stress levels. April strives to provide a calm space where her mothers-to-be can come and have that time to rest, be nurtured and to have any natural aches of the body during pregnancy be addressed.
Also, April has seen post-natal massage support and assist her in integrating her new role as mother, not only physically but also emotionally. Regular massage after giving birth also helps with detoxification and hormone regulatation which can lower the rate of post-partum depression.

Group Sound bath event
Sound baths can nuture family togetherness and/or healing, and can be perfect for friends ,groups and new moon circles which can fascilitate new intentions for manifestation by creating a meditative state that aligns the mind and body with desired outcomes. Group Sound Baths can raise our vibrations collectively and bring in a sense of belonging and comfort to a group and strengthen family ties.
We usually begin with a little something fun , then connecting to the breath to calm and clear our minds. ~ Next, we can set some intentions by writing them in a provided journal, or youngsters can draw something whymsical. ~ This practice harnesses any new moon's energy of new beginnings to support growth and transformation. ~ Followed by just a few minutes of gentle stretching to help prepare the body for the meditation the Sound Bath provides by releasing tension and promoting relaxation allowing for a deeper and more focused meditative Sound experience.
This Sound Bath will consist of both Himalayan and crystal bowls, gongs, tuning forks, chimes, bells and drumming.
All Sound Baths can be tailored specific to the family or group, and can be particularly fun for a multi generational family event.
