PELVIC LOVE
Supporting your Pregnancy, Postnatal & General Wellness journey!!
At Pelvic Love Massage Therapy, we aim to create a place that is safe and welcoming for people looking for answers about their body's general wellness and especially care during pregnancy and postnatal pregnancy. It takes a village to raise a child and having a place like Pelvic Love to turn to for support is a very good start!
Every woman deserves to have the tools and knowledge necessary for a positive birth experience – no matter what kind of birth she chooses. Take the first step to make that happen for yourself with this free birth class.
There is no textbook
Many of us find early motherhood to be both pleasurable as well as challenging, and at times fear and anger inducing.
Rather than feeling like something is “wrong” we should be encouraging mothers to speak more openly with each other so that the beautifully messy challenges of motherhood are spoken about openly and we can learn from each other.
Let’s encourage each other to share honest and authentic images and stories on social media. Education and awareness can help all of us. Please, be brave and share some of your more vulnerable stories.
Mothers need each other!
All the tea from Momma's who have worked with Pelvic Love
"Eliminating the what if’s and trusting my feminine strength helped me feel ready for birth" - VL
"I was afraid of so many things after my first delivery. Deborah taught me to say my fears out loud to decrease triggering and how to make a crisis plan for each fear". - LM
"Learning how to release anxiety and let my body do the talking helped me gain a sense of control, and get an unmedicated birth" - SB
"I had no idea how to advocate for myself, and Deborah taught me how to lead with vulnerability during all of my other providers appointments to get exactly what I needed" - AT
"Saying no to medical interventions, in order to decrease my chances of a cesarean section was a priority for me. Deborah informed us how to time getting the epidural to increase the chances of vaginal birth" - SK
"Building my birth team early in my pregnancy & educating them on my birth plan would never have happened if not for Deborah. Because of this, I got my dream birth; Vaginal & unmedicated" - CD
SERVICES WE OFFER
While we love to give pregnancy massages the most, we also offer other services.,
Pregnancy Massage
Specialized massage during pregnancy can be very beneficial, relieving the discomfort of backache, pelvic girdle pain, Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD), aching hips and swollen ankles, feet and hands, due to fluid retention. Equally importantly, massage relaxes the whole body, aids better sleeping patterns and gives a feeling of well-being, leading to a more serene pregnancy and birth. We can alleviate the vast majority of the aches and pains related to pregnancy with regular massage and treatments with a specialty trained therapist.
6o Minute Treatment $125.00
Pelvic Floor Treatment
Muscles have the potential to generate pain and there are many muscles that affect the pelvic region. These include the pelvic floors muscles, lateral hip rotators, gluteal muscles, rectus abdominus, obliques, transverse abdominus, adductors, hamstrings, quadriceps, sartorius, iliotibial band, psoas, iliacus and quadratus lamborum. Massage therapy should be PART of your pelvic health team. It is a compliment to Pelvic Health Physiotherapy. Massage will focus on the external structures that affect the pelvis. Massage will release trigger points that refer into the pelvic region along with direct release for the pelvic floor and bladder ligaments, all done externally. Check out my blog post on Pelvic Floor Massage Therapy for more detailed information.
Initial Assessment - 75 Minutes, $150.00
Follow-up visits - 60 minutes, $125.00
When a massage therapist trains in pregnancy & women's wellness as a specialty, she is making a commitment to the families in her community. Pregnancy and postnatal care builds connections that may last through generations. The therapist becomes part of the family story that surrounds the birth!!
"Dear Body; you are beautiful & I love you"

Upcoming Events
Kitchen Party
Our kitchen parties are a gathering space for women to connect and share.
Gatherings that give us opportunities to meet with other women, share our experiences and learn new things that can strengthen our day-to-day life and to give us some confidence to face the struggles that are coming to us a little bit later.
Our ultimate goal is to create a space, a heart and a home where women can gather and learn something that they will probably walk away from, feeling a little more empowered or a little more confident.
Pelvic Love Kitchen Parties will have changing themes that cover topics from the most basic of self-care to finding a connection in the community to the specific problem that you're having in your family or in your life at that time.
We want to welcome you into our home and to help you find that heart in the community.
I invite you to join us at our next kitchen party.
I hope to see you at home soon.
