At Hardy Alternative Health Services I believe in utilizing the power of touch as a means for making positive changes in the female body both physically and emotionally.  I assist you through the use of Massage Therapy by helping you relax, improve flexibility, recover from injury, and much more.

At Hardy Alternative Health Services I offer both relaxation and prenatal and/or postpartum massage.  Some of the techniques that I offer include:

  • Prenatal / Postpartum Massage - During pregnancy the physical and emotional changes can highly impact your life and so I help you to alleviate discomforts, improve circulation to combat fatigue and bring more nutrition and oxygen to your baby, and aid in your relaxation so that you can further enjoy your pregnancy. At Hardy Alternative Health Services I can offer side lying massage to pregnant mothers, but can also give the opportunity to get a massage while semi sitting and laying on the stomach with our pregnancy massage table (there is a cut out for breasts and for the abdomen - there is also an abdomen support so that mom feels cradled and protected during her massage).

Price for Prenatal / Postpartum Massage: $75 per hour for outcall massage (by referral only) *

  • Swedish / Relaxation Massage - Enjoy the relaxing effects of a Swedish Massage with its long flowing strokes.

Price for one hour Relaxation Massage: $75 per hour for an outcall  massage (by referral only) *

  • Chair Massage - Chair massage is a quick 10-15 minute massage in which the therapist will conduct the massage with the client fully clothed.  Oil is not applied, so that you can quickly come in, enjoy the massage on your break or lunch and get right back to business afterwards.  Chair massage can be brought to your place of employment as well.

Price for Chair Massage: Please call for pricing

  • Infant Massage classes - Learn the power of touch.  Everyone loves to be touched and studies have shown that babies who are touch regularly grow and thrive much better than those who aren't touched regular.  Learn how to touch your baby, aid in digestion, alleviate discomforts such as constipation, gas and colic, and also learn how to communicate with your baby through your loving touch.

Price for Infant Massage Class: $30

Massage can be used for many reasons, some of which are:

  • Relaxation

  • Pregnancy Massage

  • Stress Reduction

  • Loosen stiff or painful muscles

  • Increase flexibility

  • Improve flow of energy

  • Increase circulation

  • Release endorphins, the body's natural pain killer

  • Reduce spasm or cramps

  • Help to maintain posture
     

This is not an extensive list of things that can be done through massage, so if there is something else you would like to work on please feel free to give Hardy Alternative Health Services a call to set up an appointment and discuss your options.

 

* An additional $10 will be assessed for clients living further then a 30 minute drive from my Franklin home (driving distance will be determined utilizing mapquest).
