Postpartum Massage
Postpartum massage is a powerful tool for restoring the body, easing recovery, and encouraging healing after childbirth. At A Healer’s Hand + The Nest (AHH), we offer gentle, therapeutic postpartum massage in Madison to support new parents through one of life’s most profound transitions.
Just as a newborn needs nurturing love and attentive care, your body also deserves time, support, and space to heal after the profound changes of pregnancy and labor. Our holistic approach to postpartum care is designed to support women both physically and emotionally, offering therapeutic touch to aid in recovery and overall well-being.
Please note we recommend waiting waiting at least six weeks after childbirth before receiving a postpartum massage.
