Pregnancy – First Trimester

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

We usually see women through the first trimester for the following reasons:

• Helping prevent miscarriage
• Helping alleviate morning sickness
• Fatigue

Mayan Abdominal Massage (MAM)

No MAM is recommended in the first trimester, but Basic Prenatal Massage is available after 8 weeks of pregnancy.

Mind / Body Therapy

Clients have the opportunity to continue their mind/body therapy throughout their pregnancy. During the first trimester, the focus is on having a healthy and relaxing pregnancy. Weekly relaxations and visualizations help the pregnant mother feel more confident and empowered through the first months as well as promote pre-natal bonding with their babies. Anxieties are addressed and clients learn how to release unhealthy thoughts and focus on more positive images.
