"Cathi is, by far, the most skilled massage therapist I have ever had. She is familiar with many types of massage and treatments, and I enjoy how she incorporates them into the session. My time with her is always very relaxing and enjoyable, but invigorating. I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. A massage with Cathi is always a great gift for my friends and family! One of the best things about Cathi is that she is right here in Franklin!" Joanna B.

Benefits of massage for pre-natal and postpartum care:

There have been many studies completed on the benefits of massage in pre-natal care. One completed in 1999 “in the Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology finding reduced anxiety, improved mood, better sleep and less back pain among expectant mothers who received massage twice weekly for five weeks.*”

Massage with a qualified therapist can help reduce nausea, depression, anxiety, aches and pains, and swelling. It will improve circulation and bring oxygen to soft tissues and muscles. Your sleep will improve as well. The benefits continue for post-partum care. In addition to pain relief, reduced depression and anxiety, hormone regulation and better sleep, improved breast feeding outcomes can be added to the list of benefits in postpartum care.
