Fertility Massage is a specialized therapeutic approach that integrates abdominal massage with restorative modalities to help reduce scar tissue, alleviate inflammation, and release muscular and fascial tension. This treatment also supports healthy digestion, circulation, and lymphatic flow.
A key component of this therapy is Shiatsu Massage, a modality rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine principles similar to acupuncture. Shiatsu techniques are seamlessly incorporated to address internal imbalances, promote systemic wellness, and support the management of specific reproductive and digestive conditions.
Additional techniques may include Craniosacral Therapy, Myofascial Release, Lymphatic Drainage, Acupressure, Reflexology, and targeted abdominal massage. Castor oil & Herbal Poultice is often incorporated to gently support uterine and ovarian health. ***more information on castor oil and poultice found below***

Expect an extensive intake form! Shiatsu is based on the principle of traditional Chinese Medicine, similar to acupuncture, meaning we look at the body as a whole. In order to dive deep and understand how to bring balance to the body- the therapist will discuss your medical history and ask specific questions that may indicate deeper energy patterns or imbalances. We may observe your posture & gait, look at your tongue, palpate areas of tension, or take your pulse.
At the beginning of each session, an initial abdominal evaluation is performed to assess the condition of the Hara (the body's energetic center) and identify which meridians, organs, and acupressure points require focused attention. This assessment guides the treatment process, facilitating the clearing of stagnant or restricted energy, restoring balance within the body, and optimizing physiological efficiency—ultimately supporting the body’s natural prioritization of conception.

Currently, the fertility benefits of castor oil are supported mainly by personal and traditional evidence rather than extensive clinical research. Nevertheless, many individuals attest to its effectiveness in alleviating abdominal congestion, repairing tissues while boosting circulation and blood flow, supporting ovarian and uterine health, promoting fallopian tube function, encouraging healthy endometrial growth, easing PMS symptoms, improving lymphatic circulation, detoxifying the liver, and reducing inflammation.
Herbal Poultices are soft muslin fabric, filled with traditional Thai herbs and spices including lemongrass, turmeric, parai, kaffier lime, camphor and tamarind. They have effects that can benefit reproduction, like increasing blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, and regulating hormone levels. Although used for thousands of years for their supposed fertility-boosting qualities, but there is no conclusive research that supports the benefits.
