Some Quick Benefits of Prenatal Massage:

*Decreased stress hormones (cortisol and nor-epinephrine) for you and your baby.
*Increased serotonin and dopamine production which increases feelings of contentment and well-being.  *Increased relaxation.
*Easing of the aches and pains of pregnancy.
*Deep relaxation may help prepare you for natural labor and birth, allowing you to practice letting go and opening up to a trance-like state.
*Increased circulation and reduction of swelling.

Welcome!

Essence Of Bliss Massage Therapy is a forum for exploring and sharing wellness wisdom with a particular focus on the benefits of massage therapy, whole food nutrition, issues surrounding the the prenatal and postpartum period, alternative health care and how to cultivate a happy, healthy family. 
I actively research the latest news and information on health and nutrition and will share discoveries and links to sites that I find helpful.
This will be a forum for your questions and an opportunity to dialogue about your health concerns. I encourage you to post questions and responses in this ongoing conversation on health. 
I'm looking forward to getting to know you!
