A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing

Labour Massage

Massage during labour has shown to reduce the duration of labour and ease pain significantly. Several theories exist that suggest the increased serotonin levels, endorphin release and increased oxygen supply to the tissues are responsible for the pain reduction during the first stage. Massage during labour is most effective for pain relief when preceded by regular antenatal massage, aromatherapy or reflex zone therapy.

Massage promotes oxytocin, oxytocin promotes natural birth
When you experience joy, love or a massage, oxytocin is thought to be produced. This hormone also has the important role of reducing fear, inducing peace, stimulating the uterus to contract and helping your baby to be born. It is the main hormone for initiating breast milk production and is also integral to the bonding experience with your newborn. I highly recommend Kerstin Uvas Moberg’s fascinating Book, The Oxytocin Factor which explores the scientific evidence on the incredible effects of oxytocin.
