Rebozo Massage
Rebozo massage is a gentle massage that relaxes and balances the lower back and pelvic areas, increases the natural flow of the body, and strenghtens bonding and attachment – and rebozo massage can be used throughout the entire pregnancy.
Rebozo Massage
Rebozo comes from Spanish, from the verb that means to cover or envelope oneself. Rebozo massage originates from Mexico and has been used through generations to help pregnant women relax, find inner peace, concentrate on their bodies and unborn babies, and prevent the risks of complications during birth.
For the rebozo massage, we use one or more Mexican rebozos, brightly colored garments, which we wrap around your pregnant body. With the rebozos, we cradle, stretch and massage your body to relax and balance the soft tissues of your pelvis (muscles, connective tissues, ligaments).
Rebozo massage releases oxytocin and endorphins and regenerates your body. The rebozo massage generates comfort and calmness for both you and your baby.
Simple, gentle, and yet highly effective massage which eases back pain and tension, increases general well-being, and facilitates a smoother birth experience.
