The Fertile Secret Massage combines deep therapeutic touch with soothing abdominal massage. Your practitioner will customize your bodywork according to the stage of your menstrual cycle, using deeper abdominal work during the follicular phase (before ovulation) and focusing on relaxation during the luteal phase (after ovulation). In women, the pelvic region and reproductive organs tend to hold a lot of emotions. Expect your massage to be cleansing and detoxifying, physically and emotionally, leaving you with a deep sense of mental peace. Physical touch encourages the body to release oxytocin, contributing to increased pleasure. This massage is perfect for anyone desiring to conceive and can also be customized for pregnancy and postpartum care.
