Growing up a ballet dancer, Cristina learned the more grace we have for our bodies, the better we know how to care for our whole being. Her journey with massage began with her interest in female health and how this understanding can be applied to increase self-confidence, rehabilitate injuries and amplify physical performance.
Cristina views life and living as miraculous, and she is honored to share her gift of massage. If you have questions about any of the massage therapies offered by Cristina, be sure to check out our FAQ section down the page. Examples of this might include hypertension, gestational diabetes, placenta previa, etc.
If permitted, certain precautions will be in place depending on your level and type of risk. There is no evidence that supports massage will induce labor or miscarriage in any trimester. These are only performed after 36 weeks. Whether you are at 1 or 41 weeks, massage can be of benefit to you and baby too! When you start coming is up to you. We have body pillows to accommodate side lying, face down, and face up positioning to ensure your comfortability throughout your pregnancy.
Generally, I would recommend sessions times per month in the first two trimesters and then increase one more session per month in the final trimester. While these are my recommendations, how often you choose to come is completely up to you! I always love to give my clients every minute of hands on work that they booked.
Expect approximately a 70min session in total if you booked 60min. Keep in mind, if it is your first session, we may spend a little bit more time discussing your health history and needs before hands on work.
