Pre-natal Yoga Classes and Naturopathy in Viman nagar

Pregnancy is an exciting and transformative time, but it can also be overwhelming and challenging, both physically and emotionally. That's why many women turn to prenatal yoga classes and naturopathy in Viman nagar to help them manage the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy.

In Viman Nagar, there are many options for prenatal yoga classes and naturopathic treatments. Let's take a closer look at how these two practices can work together to support a healthy pregnancy.

Prenatal yoga is a gentle form of yoga that is tailored to the needs of pregnant women. It's designed to help women build strength, flexibility, and endurance, while also reducing stress and promoting relaxation. Prenatal yoga classes in Viman nagar typically include a combination of poses, breathing techniques, and meditation. Many women find that prenatal yoga is an effective way to manage the physical discomforts of pregnancy, such as back pain, swelling, and fatigue. It can also help prepare the body for childbirth by strengthening the muscles used during labor and delivery.

In Viman Nagar, there are several yoga studios that offer prenatal yoga classes. These classes are taught by certified instructors who have specialized training in prenatal yoga. They are designed to be safe and effective for pregnant women at all stages of pregnancy.

Naturopathy is a holistic approach to health and wellness that emphasizes natural remedies and therapies. It is based on the belief that the body has the ability to heal itself, and that natural treatments can support the body's natural healing processes. Naturopathic treatments for pregnant women may include herbal remedies, homeopathy, nutritional counseling, and acupuncture. These treatments are designed to support the health of the mother and the developing baby, while also addressing any specific health concerns or conditions.

In Viman Nagar, there are several naturopathic clinics and practitioners who specialize in prenatal care. These practitioners take a holistic approach to pregnancy, focusing on the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the mother and baby.

The Benefits of Combining Prenatal Yoga and Naturopathy when prenatal yoga and naturopathy are combined, women can experience a range of benefits for their health and well-being during pregnancy. Here are just a few of the potential benefits:

Reduced stress and anxiety: Prenatal yoga and naturopathy both emphasize relaxation and stress reduction, which can help women feel more calm and centered during pregnancy.

Improved physical health: Prenatal yoga can help women build strength and flexibility, while naturopathic treatments can support overall health and wellness.

Better sleep: Prenatal yoga and naturopathy can both improve sleep quality, which is essential for the health and well-being of both mother and baby.

Enhanced emotional well-being: Prenatal yoga and naturopathy can both promote feelings of emotional balance and well-being, which can help women navigate the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy.

Preparation for childbirth: Prenatal yoga can help women prepare physically and mentally for childbirth, while naturopathic treatments can support the body's natural processes during labor and delivery.

In conclusion, combining prenatal yoga classes and naturopathy can be a powerful way for women in Viman Nagar to support their health and well-being during pregnancy. Whether you're looking to manage physical discomforts, reduce stress, or prepare for childbirth, these two practices can work together to help you have a healthy and fulfilling pregnancy.

lessi as the godmother!!!! 🥹🥹🥹 no rush but please may you write a mini pt 2 where reader has given birth and less meets the baby for the first time<33

sequel to this and part of the a date to remember universe series

godmother II m.earps

"lets fucking go baby!" you yelled at the tv, clapping your hands happily as your wife saved another attempt on goal. it was mid WSL season and since you were so far along now at your doctors advice your wife had promptly banned you from leaving the house for anything not completely necessary, like appointments or your pre-natal classes.

you'd been trying to argue for the last few weeks that to you watching mary play was necessary, but she would just shut you up with a kiss and a firm shake of her head, ending any chance of an argument right there and then.

your wife had always been protective of you by nature throughout the entire time you'd known her, however given you were now pregnant she had become over protective. which meant you found yourself regularly having to bite your tongue not to tear her head off with how she fussed over you.

thats not to say you hadn't snapped.

pregnancy hormones were no joke and some days your wife found herself walking on eggshells, cautious that one wrong word or action would cause you to tip over the edge, your volatile moods becoming incredibly unpredictable.

though she knew it wasn't your fault and more often than not the moment you'd finished yelling you'd burst into tears and apologize, your wife assuring you over and over with soft and loving kisses that she wasn't mad and she understood it was out of your control.

but despite how much mary over worried, she was also your saving grace.

if it was holding up your stomach to allow your back a few brief moments of reprise from its dragging weight, rubbing your very swollen feet, massaging your back and shoulders, putting up with your mood swings, going to the shops at all hours of the day and night to satisfy every little pregnancy craving, if there was any way at all she could make your life easier in any possible way, she was there in an instant, and you adored her for it.

"get in tooney!" you yelled with a cheer, struggling to your feet and pumping your first in the air as the girl scored the equaliser in their match against liverpool, watching with a proud smile as she celebrated with the team, alessia the first one to pull her up and into a tight bear hug.

you heard a strange sound and grabbed at your stomach as a wave of pain suddenly rolled through you. "oh fuck. not now, please not now!" you begged, looking up at the ceiling with your eyes squeezed closed, in denial of what you know you had just heard.

sure enough looking down there was a large wet patch on the carpet and you groaned as another wave of pain rocked your body. sitting down and taking a deep breath you grabbed your phone, hands shaking as you unlocked it and flicked through your contacts to your mother in law.

"hi julie! um no everything is fine...but i think my waters just broke?"

~

"i'm here! i'm here! i'm here! no one panic!" you breathed out a sigh of relief as the door to your room smacked open and mary stumbled inside, still clad in her keepers kit, face blotchy and red as she squatted down, baby hairs clinging to her forehead which was matted in sweat.

"give me a minute babe oh my god that elevator was taking ages so i ran up like six flights of stairs. jesus!" mary puffed out as she struggled to catch her breath, bent over with her hands on her knees.

"you missed the birth mary." you stated quietly, the woman almost falling to her feet at the news, eyes as wide as saucers. "what!? why the fuck did no one call me?" your wife spat angrily, beginning to pace around at the foot of your bed.

"nah only joking. we've taught her well babe she waited for her mum to finish her game before arriving!" your face broke out into a grin, the colour returning to marys as she collapsed into the seat beside your bed, pincing the bridge of her nose.

"i swear on my life woman if you weren't pregnant i'd punch you." "excuse me darling which one of us in labor right now?"

"right! sorry my love. how are you? how far apart are the contractions? whats the pain one to ten? have you seen a doctor? is there a nurse nearby? have-"

"mary baby breathe!" you laughed, struggling up and gently grabbing her face, your thumbs stroking her jaw affectionately.

"i'm okay, just uncomfortable. its hard to explain but everything just feels really tight and sore? its still early stages, the contractions are about nine minutes apart when they timed them. they said my water broke prematurely which though rare does happen and doesn't mean theres any complications before your mind goes there." you explained as your wife placed her hands over yours, bringing them to her mouth and tenderly kissing the tips of your fingers with a nod.

"the doctors not been in yet and he won't until the contractions are closer together, but the midwives have been great. they should come back around in a few minutes actually so you can talk their ear off with your questions then. your mum just popped out to call my mum, she and my dad are getting on the first flight they can." you continued, smiling and giving your a little nod to show you were finished.

"thank god she picked up when you called. baby i told you i shouldn't have played today, what if no one was there to bring you to hospital!" mary sighed with a frustrated shake of her head, resting her chin on your intertwined hands, you almost having to lock her out of the house in order for her to leave this morning.

"then i'd have called an ambulance my love. you did play, and from what i hear you won so im glad that you did. i got here safely, you got here in time, everything worked out best as it could have. so stop being stroppy!" you smiled, gently pulling away your hands and teasingly flicking her ear before settling back into the hospital bed.

"i'm not bein stroppy!" "your moody little pout says very differently." "i'm not! i just love you and our daughter very very much and i worry about you both, you know that." "i know love, but you know at your age you have to be careful about worrying so much, you'll get grey hairs." "i'm hardly two years older than you are!" "I know you're ancient, should be criogenically frozen in a football museum somewhere." "baby i pray every day she doesn't inherit your sense of humour, i don't think i could handle two of you it would drive me to insanity." "mary!"

~

"sit love! i'll get it." your wife remanded as the doorbell rang, rolling your eyes with a small smile as you sat back down, hearing her footsteps hurry off toward the door.

"where is she? where's my little niece? her favourite aunty is here!" "you wish you were her favourite tooney, she won't even pay you a second glance once she see's her godmother is here!" "she's one month old she won't care about either of you, and she's finally been sleeping for more than twenty minutes so shut up, the pair of you!"

you heard the girls before you saw them, hearing mary harshly shush them and a loud smack echo out where she'd clearly whacked one of them, ella whining as she entered the room.

"muuum she hit me!" the midfielder pouted in your direction as you chuckled and opened your arms, the younger girl collapsing into them as you wrapped her in a hug. "stop hitting the kids babe!" you teased your wife, alessia lifting your arm and tucking herself into your other side.

"i'm too young to have three kids." the woman mumbled, rubbing at her temples with an overdramatic sigh. "aw great now she's disowned us!" ella continued sending you a cheeky grin. "baby thats not very nice, say sorry to the girls. you know you love them!" you wound up your wife who shook her head, biting back a smile.

"i am going to check on our actual daughter." mary announced with a roll of her eyes, disappearing out of the room. "i love you babe!" you sung out after her with a smile, hearing her grumble as her footsteps faded away.

"so how are you feeling? we've missed you!" alessia asked as ella nodded eagerly, the two of them not moving from where the three of you were wrapped up together in a hug. "yeah mary runs a tight ship! told us we wasn't even allowed to facetime you until she said so." ella pouted with a huff as you ruffled her hair.

"i feel heavy, tired, fat. i haven't slept properly since she arrived, the bags under my eyes have bags, and i think this is the only jumper i currently own which doesn't have sick or some sort of bodily fluid on it." you paused to chuckle and look down at the faded red material covering your body.

"but she's also the best thing that has ever happened to me. i love her so much i would die for her in an instant, her tiny little fingers and toes and her squishy little cheeks man. she's got me and mary by the throat!" you teared up, overwhelmed by the love you felt for your daughter as both girls either side of you aweed and hugged you tighter.

"speaking of, look who just woke up." ella and alessia's heads whipped behind them with wide eyes as mary returned, gently cradling your new born daughter in her arms. "oh my god she's tiny." alessia whispered with a small squeal of excitement, marys face melting into a soft smile seeing the obvious excitement from the two girls.

"do you both want a hold?" your wife offered, eyes flickering toward you as you nodded encouragingly, knowing how much it worried her to have anyone that wasn't the two of you to do so, but you were working through it together.

"shit but how do you do that? don't they have like no bones? and their heads are soft like jelly? their skulls are like-" ella began to panic, rubbing her palms on her shorts. "language around the baby el!" you warned, shoving her shoulder as she hastily apologized.

"yes they are very fragile, but if you want to hold her i'll show you how." you smiled reassuringly, watching the cogs turn in her head. "less can go first!" she decided as you glanced to the blonde on your other side who was busy staring adoringly at the little bundle of limbs in your wifes arms.

"less?" "hm?" "do you want to have a hold?" "oh yes please."

"okay, sit back and get comfortable." you ordered softly as you stood and mary carefully handed you your daughter, pressing a kiss to your cheek and tenderly stroking your daughters hand with her thumb.

"are you okay? its fine if you need some time, they say it normally takes around five minutes to be properly comfortable with holding a newborn baby." mary checked in with the younger blonde who nodded that she was ready.

"so the most important thing is to support the head and the neck." mary started to explain, taking a seat beside alessia who nodded, following her every word. "so very carefully take her-" mary continued as you gently handed over the baby to the striker.

"breathe less." you chuckled as she exhaled shakily, almost trembling as she very gently took your daughter from you, mary shuffling closer to help her adjust.

"so you want her stomach to always be angled toward you, and her back will rest on your forearm. then you'll support her head in the crook of your elbow and your hand can rest there-" mary gently moved alessias arm as ella watched on in awe.

"-and now you're holding her less." mary smiled proudly, squeezing her shoulder and shuffling back a bit as alessia looked up at you in shock. "wow!" ella breathed out in shock. "you're a natural less." the girl complimented as alessias eyes dropped back down to the newborn cradled in her arms.

"this is so weird, like im holding a whole human right now." "yeah its a bit overwhelming at first but you're doing great less."

"hi gorgeous i'm alessia. i'm your godmum but you can just call me aunty lessi!" the blonde smiled as you sat down on marys lap, feeling her arms wrap securely around you as she pressed a tender kiss to your shoulder before resting her chin there, both of you watching on fondly as ella began to interact with your daughter who was tucked up securely in alessia's hold.

"have you accepted we've got three daughters now?" you quietly murmured to your wife with a teasing smile, pecking her lips and feeling her body vibrate under yours with a soft chuckle.

"yeah, i think i have."

Suffer the Little Children (685 words) by thesavagesabretooth Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Caesar Clown, Vinsmoke Niji Additional Tags: Whump, Whumptober 2024, Backstory, Surgery, Medical Procedures, Medical Trauma, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, Child Soldiers, Character Study, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Caesar Clown-centric, POV Caesar Clown

Summary: In exchange for protection from the World Government Caesar assists Judge with the medical procedures he wants done on his children, but Judge's sloppy methods and inconsistent approach annoy him. Not that he'd ever say that to his face.

-

"Your father wanted this surgery done without anesthetic," he explained to the quiet six year old in front of him. Niji was sitting obediently on the medical cot, quiet, and still.

Caesar cupped Niji's small jaw and cheek in his hand, his long nails brushing against the patient's cool skin. He could feel the tough, transdermal carapace beneath. "But I'm going to give you one anyway. I'll be our little secret, alright?"

If Caesar had performed the surgery as instructed he had no doubt that the child would have done his best to cooperate. Unfortunately, his father Judge did not understand that a high pain tolerance and stubborn refusal to cry did not mean that an unanesthetized child wouldn't shake, or twitch or tremble or move in involuntary ways that might jeopardize the operation.

Niji nodded, and Caesar had every confidence that it would be their little secret. Judge, the fool, had already drilled it into all of his children's heads that you didn't divulge secrets. Niji wouldn't volunteer the information, and Judge wouldn't ask because he (the fool) trusted Caesar's work and wouldn't even think there was any reason to give an anesthetic in the first place.

'It's unnecessary with their pain tolerance' Judge had said, 'and since they have no emotions, they won't care about it anyway! All my children are free of pain and cowardice!' 

And then he'd laughed (like a fool).

Judge Vinsmoke had no idea that the psychological component of the pre-natal enhancement performed in the quadruplets was a complete failure. Caesar certainly wasn't going to tell him, not when he was so damned pleased with the results! His lips were sealed when it came to the fact that all of his children's so-called "emotionlessness" was in fact due to simple psychological conditioning and the ongoing cocktail of drugs they were being given regularly. 

Judge didn't seem to understand that if you told a small child that they didn't have emotions, and punished them for displaying any, and gave them drugs that dulled their emotional state, then they would not display a lot of emotions.

Caesar fought the urge to massage his temples again. "Open your mouth and take a deep breath."

Niji, of course, obliged, and Caesar blew a breath of numbing gas into his mouth. Caesar patted him on the head absently and started arranging his tools for the procedure. Installing permanent injection ports for drug treatments so that they wouldn't have to drill through the carapace every time to find a vein.

Maybe Judge was fooled because the physical effects of the procedure on Sora's womb had been such a success. He didn't even think to question the validity of the subtler elements. But no, the cocktail that Sora had begged Caesar for had taken effect as he had promised– and just as he had promised it had taken her life also.

Regrettable, really. But it had been what she wanted. Judge– the fool– had wasted another resource. Ah well. These things happened. Especially when you were as irresponsible as Judge. Caesar had asked Judge if he was treating Sanji differently than his other sons as some kind of control subject and Judge had given him a blank look.

Well, Judge was paying him a bundle to help with his ridiculous child abuse experiments, so Caesar sure as hell wasn't going to contradict him. Not when he was also the only reason that Caesar hadn't already been picked up by the World Government like Vegapunk had.

That, he suspected, was only a matter of time.

He sighed and picked up the drill. "Lie back, Niji. I'm going to strap you down."

Niji laid down on the cot obediently and waited to be strapped in.

Caesar wondered how long it would take before the children turned on their father and tore his throat out like a pack of jackals. After all, they had no childish love to bind them to the man. Their loyalty was instilled through mere conditioning. And Judge trusted them with his life.

The fool.

Caesar hoped to be far away when it finally happened.

POV you are a massage therapist at SGC

Jack: Pretty nice client. Cannot go five minutes without cracking a goofy joke. But it’s fine, because you can roll your eyes without him noticing while he’s face down. You probably have to use a lot of oil because he seems like he’d have dry skin and wiry hair all over, so you have to account for a couple minutes afterwards to refill your oil bottle. I have this feeling like when he’d start sweating out toxins fifteen minutes in, he’d smell like a smoker? That seeping tobacco smell that comes out of your pores. He has pretty nice posture so the massage itself isn’t too much work physically, but his well-meaning questions about your personal life and relationship with your parents get annoying. He also lifts his leg for you (which is harder on you) when you’re draping his legs instead of letting you lift it (easier on you) and doesn’t relax his neck and give you the weight of his head when you’re trying to massage his neck. 

Daniel: Brief, easy intake, except for he doesn’t know what his goals are or tell you why he’s getting a massage. Then when he’s on the table, he starts remembering random injuries and medical issues to tell or ask you about. You’d be massaging his forearm and he’d say, “Oh, I broke that elbow when I was eight. At an archaeological dig. Could that be a problem?” You work on his neck, and then move onto his legs, and then he says, “Oh, yeah, I had a chiropractor tell me I had a disc problem in my neck. Does that seem right?” Does not know where to put his arms and always moves them away from the position you just put them in, as if he forgot you put them there.

Sam: Her eyes stay open the entire fucking time. Even face-down. You can tell.

Teal’c: Very easy to please, but he has to do the whole massage in side-lying pre-natal position because of Junior. “Because of my symbiote, I cannot lie on my stomach for a prolonged period of time.” It’s a little more exhausting for your hands, but at least you get to sit down.

Hammond: Asks for extra attention on scalp massage, falls asleep in five minutes and snores through the whole thing, waking up just to apologize every so often. The easiest client, even if his back muscles are overstretched and hard as concrete.

Pre Natal Massage

Your Secret Weapon for a Blissful Pregnancy

What exactly is prenatal massage? Simply put, it’s a specialized type of massage therapy tailored specifically for pregnant women. The main goal? To help you relax, ease those aches and pains, and generally make you feel really good when you need it most

Why You Might Want to Give It a Try

Now, you might be thinking, “Do I really need another thing on my pregnancy to-do list?” Trust me, this is one item you’ll be glad you added. Here’s why:

Stress? What Stress? Prenatal massage is like hitting the pause button on all that stress. It helps lower cortisol and boosts feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine. The result? You’ll feel calmer, more relaxed, and better equipped to handle whatever pregnancy throws your way.

Goodbye, Aches and Pains Let’s face it – growing a human can be uncomfortable. Your back aches, your hips hurt, and your ankles swell. Prenatal massage can help alleviate these discomforts, targeting those sore spots and helping you feel more like yourself again.

Sleep Like a Baby (Before You Have One) If you’re tossing and turning at night, prenatal massage might be your ticket. By helping you relax and easing physical discomfort, it can improve your sleep quality.

Swelling Edema is a common pregnancy complaint. Prenatal massage can help stimulate blood and lymph circulation, potentially reducing swelling in your legs, ankles, and feet.

Emotional Wellbeing Boost Regular prenatal massages can help boost your mood, reduce anxiety, and even lower the risk of depression. It’s like a mini vacation for your mind and body.

When to Start and How Often to Go

So, if you’re sold on the idea of prenatal massage then you need to make a start. But when should you start, and how often should you book the sessions? Most experts recommend waiting until the second trimester to start prenatal massage. Why? Well, the first trimester can be a bit touch-and-go, and it’s generally best to wait until things have settled down a bit.

Once you hit that second-trimester, aim for a massage every two weeks. As you move into the third trimester and things get a bit more uncomfortable, you might want to up it to weekly sessions. But remember, every pregnancy is different, so listen to your body and your healthcare provider.

Choosing the Right Oils for Your Massage

The right massage oil can make all the difference, and when you’re pregnant, you want to be extra careful about what you’re putting on your body.

Carrier oils are the base of any good massage oil blend. Some pregnancy-friendly options include:

Sweet Almond Oil: Great for all skin types and super moisturizing.

Jojoba Oil: Mimics your skin’s natural oils and absorbs easily.

Coconut Oil: Perfect if you’ve got dry skin (plus, it smells amazing).

Avocado Oil: Another great choice for dry or sensitive skin.

If you want to kick things up a notch, you can add a few drops of essential oils to your carrier oil. But proceed with caution – not all essential oils are pregnancy-safe. Some good options include:

Lavender: The ultimate relaxation oil.

Chamomile: Great for calming both mind and body.

Ginger: Can help with nausea (hello, morning sickness relief!).

Always check with your healthcare provider before using essential oils, and make sure they’re properly diluted in your carrier oil. If in doubt, just leave it out.

Safety First: What to Know Before You Go

While prenatal massage is generally safe for most pregnant women, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Choose a Certified Prenatal Massage Therapist: This isn’t the time to hit up your regular spa. Look for someone who’s specifically trained in prenatal massage techniques.

Position Matters: You’ll likely spend most of your massage on your side, supported by pillows. This position is safe for you and comfy for baby.

Communicate: Let your therapist know about any discomfort, and don’t be shy about asking for adjustments.

Avoid Certain Areas: A good prenatal massage therapist will know to avoid certain pressure points that could potentially stimulate contractions.

Check with Your Doc: If you have a high-risk pregnancy or any complications, get the all-clear from your healthcare provider first.

What to Expect During Your Session

Alright, so you’ve booked your first prenatal massage. What can you expect? Here’s a quick rundown:

Comfort is Key: Your therapist will help you get comfortable, usually on your side with plenty of pillow support.

It’s All About You: The massage will focus on areas that typically bother pregnant women – think lower back, hips, legs, and feet.

Pressure Check: The pressure will likely be gentler than what you’re used to in regular massages. If you want more (or less) pressure, just speak up!

Duration: Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes, but some places offer longer options if you’re feeling indulgent.

Hydration Station: Drink plenty of water before and after your massage to help flush out toxins and keep you hydrated.

DIY Massage at Home

Can’t make it to the spa? No worries! You can still reap some of the benefits of prenatal massage at home. Here are some tips for you a partner/friend/relative.:

Use gentle, sweeping strokes on the back and legs.

Focus on areas of tension, like the lower back and shoulders.

Use a tennis ball to gently roll out knots in your back (just avoid the spine).

Don’t forget your feet – they’re doing a lot of extra work these days!

Remember, home massages should be gentle and relaxing. If you’re unsure about anything, check with your healthcare provider or a certified prenatal massage therapist.

When to Skip the Massage

As amazing as prenatal massage is, there are times when it’s best to take a rain check:

If you’re experiencing severe morning sickness

If you have any bleeding or spotting

If you’re at high risk for preterm labor

If you have high blood pressure or preeclampsia

If you have any sudden, severe swelling

When in doubt, always check with your healthcare provider.

The Bottom Line

Prenatal massage can be a fantastic addition to your pregnancy self-care routine. It’s not just about pampering yourself (although that’s a nice bonus!) – it’s about taking care of your body and mind during this incredible journey.

Remember, every pregnancy is unique, and what works for one person might not work for another. Listen to your body, talk to your healthcare provider, and do what feels right for you. Whether you’re booking regular spa sessions or having your partner give you a gentle foot rub at home, any form of prenatal massage can help you feel more relaxed, comfortable, and connected to your changing body.

So go ahead and at least give it a try?

Alex.

Pre and Post-Natal Care by Ayurveda at Vibrance Spa and Ayurvedic Wellness Centre

Welcoming a new life into the world is a beautiful journey filled with anticipation, joy, and, yes, a few challenges. At Vibrance Spa and Ayurvedic Wellness Centre, we firmly believe in the ancient and proven science of Ayurveda, which offers the most holistic and nurturing approach to pre and post-natal care. Nestled in the heart of Trivandrum, with centres in Pattom and Sreekariyam, Vibrance Spa is dedicated to providing comprehensive, personalised care for expecting and new mothers.

Pre-Pregnancy Care: The Foundation of a Healthy Journey

The journey of nurturing a healthy baby begins long before conception. Ayurveda emphasises the importance of preparing the body and mind for pregnancy through various practices, with oil massages being a cornerstone of this preparatory phase.

Well prepared is half done.

Oil massages, or Abhyanga, are deeply rooted in Ayurvedic tradition. This practice involves the use of warm, medicated oils to massage the body, which offers numerous benefits:

Detoxification : Regular oil massages help eliminate toxins from the body, cleanse the skin and tissues, and promote overall health.

Improved Circulation : The rhythmic movements of an oil massage enhance blood circulation, ensuring that essential nutrients are effectively delivered to all body parts.

Stress Reduction : An oil massage's soothing nature helps reduce stress and anxiety, creating a calm and balanced state of mind.

Hormonal Balance : Oil massages can help balance hormones by stimulating the endocrine system, which is crucial for conception.

Enhanced Skin Health : Regular oil massages keep the skin hydrated and nourished, improving its elasticity and preparing it for the changes it will undergo during pregnancy.

First Trimester: Embracing Ghritham for Nurturing

The first trimester is a critical period of development for the foetus. During this phase, ghritham (medicated ghee) is often recommended, tailored to the individual's body condition.

The Benefits of Ghritham

Ghritham, a unique form of ghee infused with medicinal herbs, offers multiple benefits during early pregnancy:

Nutrient Absorption : Ghee is a rich source of essential fatty acids and vitamins, which aid in the absorption of nutrients, ensuring that both mother and baby receive adequate nourishment.

Digestive Health : Ghritham supports digestive health by promoting healthy digestion and preventing common issues like constipation, which is prevalent during pregnancy.

Anti-inflammatory Properties : The medicinal herbs infused in ghee have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation or discomfort.

Mental Well-being : Consuming ghritham helps calm the mind, reduces anxiety, and promotes well-being.

Second Trimester: The Role of Kashayam and Tablets

As the pregnancy progresses into the second trimester, the focus shifts to the use of kashayam and tablets, which are essentially medical decoctions.

The Benefits of Kashayam and Tablets

Boosting Immunity : These herbal decoctions are designed to boost the immune system, protecting both mother and baby from infections and illnesses.

Supporting Growth : The herbs used in kashayam and tablets provide essential nutrients that support the rapid growth and development of the fetus.

Maintaining Energy Levels : These formulations help maintain energy levels and combat fatigue, which is crucial as the body works harder to support the growing baby.

Balancing Doshas : According to Ayurveda, maintaining the balance of doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) is essential for a healthy pregnancy. Kashayam and tablets help in keeping these energies in harmony.

Third Trimester: Preparing for Birth with Pichu

As the pregnancy enters its final stage, the body undergoes significant changes in preparation for childbirth. Applying Pichu, a medicated ghee, during the third trimester is highly beneficial.

The Benefits of Pichu

Muscle Relaxation : Pichu helps relax the abdomen and pelvic area muscles, facilitating a smoother delivery.

Abdomen Stretchin : It aids in stretching the abdominal muscles, reducing discomfort and promoting elasticity.

Preventing Stretch Marks : The nourishing properties of pichu help in maintaining skin elasticity and preventing stretch marks.

Comprehensive Care Throughout Pregnancy

Beyond the above treatments for each trimester, Vibrance Spa and Ayurvedic Wellness Centre help our clients ease through this overwhelming process. Irrespective of which stage the client is in, we offer a range of additional services to support expecting mothers. That includes:

Diet Consultations

Our experienced Ayurvedic practitioners provide personalised diet consultations, ensuring the mother’s nutritional needs are met. A proper diet helps maintain optimal health, support fetal development, and prepare the body for childbirth.

Yoga Training

Yoga is an integral part of our prenatal care program. Tailored yoga sessions help improve flexibility, strengthen muscles, and enhance breathing. Flexibility is much needed for eased labour and delivery, while the specific exercises strengthen the pelvic floor and core muscles.

Pranayama Training

Pranayama, the practice of controlled breathing, is emphasised throughout pregnancy. It helps manage stress, improve lung function, and promote overall well-being. These techniques help improve respiratory efficiency and reduce stress.

Post-Pregnancy Care: Restoring Balance and Well-being

The postpartum period is a time of significant physical and emotional changes. Vibrance Spa provides comprehensive postnatal care to help new mothers restore balance and well-being.

Managing Hormonal Changes

Ayurvedic treatments, including herbal formulations and massages, balance hormones and support the body's recovery after childbirth.

Addressing Postpartum Depression

Yoga and meditation play a crucial role in managing postpartum depression. Our tailored programs help new mothers reconnect with their bodies, minds, and emotions, promoting peace and well-being.
