Hormonal Regulation

Studies conducted over the past 10 years have shown that hormone levels associated with relaxation and stress are significantly altered when massage therapy is incorporated into women’s prenatal care. This leads to mood regulation and improved cardiovascular health.

In women who received massage twice a week for only five weeks, hormones such as norepinephrine and cortisol (hormones associated with stress) were reduced and dopamine and serotonin levels were increased (low levels of these hormones are associated with depression).

These changes in hormone levels also resulted in fewer complications during delivery and fewer cases of neonatal complications, such as low birth weight. The evidence strongly suggests that there are benefits to maternal and newborn health when massage is integrated into regular prenatal care. (Source americanpregnancy.org)

If desired, at the end of your appointment we will go over home care strategies to help you get the most out of your massage and manage your pregnancy pain. Your home care strategies will then be emailed to you.

Why book a postnatal Massage with DORI ?

I trained in pregnancy and postnatal massage and healing therapy with Burrell Education (England), where I learned to work holistically through and through. There is so much we can do to help during this difficult time.

Why book a Sports Massage with DORI?

Having worked in the fitness industry for over 13 years now, I found that clients often couldn’t perform certain movements because they had tension in muscles and tissues that prevented them from performing movements correctly. My Sports Massage Therapy Level 3 training (Burrell Education, England) was really the missing piece of the puzzle. The combination of massage and movement can take you so much further than just one of them alone.

I will send you a health questionnaire before your appointment. During your appointment we will take a look at your posture and further assess your issues. This is because I treat each client with a holistic approach.

Guaranteed not a routine that will make you feel truly amazing in the end.

Then we start the massage and focus on the areas that are related to your discomfort. This is not always the area that you think is causing the problem.

At the end I will give you tips to take home for a longer lasting effect and to sustain your treatment with me.

What is Taping?
Taping is a non-invasive method of supporting muscle and soft tissue. Depending on the client’s problem, the tape can support the muscle, provide impulses to her brain to activate a muscle or muscle group, or inhibit a muscle if it is overactive.

How long does the tape stay on?
The tape usually stays on for about 3-5 days. You can also shower with it on.
