I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately.
When I was pregnant with my kids, I had easy pregnancies. I felt good, stayed active and strength trained, had zero pain or discomfort despite being 7 days past due, and never had sleep issues. So I never really thought about supporting my body beyond what I was doing.
But looking back, I wish I had.
Not because anything was wrong or because I needed to “fix” something. I wish I had known that craniosacral and fascial tberapy could support me even when I felt good.
Mom and baby are so closely connected throughout pregnancy. Our nervous systems are connected, and baby is growing within the environment of mom’s body. I think there is something really beautiful about intentionally caring for that environment. Not because we need a perfect pregnancy, but simply because we can offer ourselves and our babies more support.
I wish I had given myself more opportunities to slow down, release tension, and create more ease and space as my body made room for my babies. And I wish I had thought about preparing my body for birth in that way, too. Not because tension means something is wrong or that it will make birth go a certain way, but because there’s value in helping your body feel supported going into such a big experience.
I also believe God designed our bodies with incredible wisdom. Supporting your body isn’t about fixing something God created incorrectly. It’s about caring for yourself and being intentional about how you move through this beautiful season.
You don’t have to wait until something hurts to receive support.
If you’re pregnant and have been wondering if gentle craniosacral and fascial therapy might be beneficial for you, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to talk with you about it.
