UNIQUE TECHNIQUE · PERINATAL MASSAGE & DOULA CARE
Nurturing You Through Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond
Motherhood brings changing needs, and you deserve care throughout the journey. Unique Technique offers personalized perinatal massage, birth support, and postpartum nourishment to help you feel supported during pregnancy, birth, and recovery.
One Journey. Connected Care.
Your needs change throughout pregnancy, birth, and the weeks and months that follow. Support should be able to change with you.
Perinatal massage offers dedicated time for bodywork, relaxation, and attention to your physical comfort. Birth support helps you prepare for labor, understand your options, and feel supported in your choices. After birth, postpartum care can bring together massage, nourishment, and practical help as you adjust to life with your baby.
These services have different purposes, but they share one intention: to help you feel cared for through the transitions of motherhood. You can begin with a massage, explore birth support, or talk with Ajeet about the kind of care you need right now. You do not have to figure everything out at once.
More Than Individual Services. A Continuum of Care
Your needs don't begin and end with a single appointment. Massage, birth support and postpartum care can complement one another, creating a more connected experience of support through every stage of motherhood.
01. Pregnancy & Bodywork
Support your changing body through prenatal massage, therapeutic bodywork and holistic wellness treatments. Find moments of relief, relaxation and reconnection as you prepare for birth.
02. Birth & Doula Support
Feel informed, heard and supported through birth preparation and childbirth. Receive compassionate physical and emotional support tailored to your birth journey.
03. Postpartum Recovery
Receive hands-on care beyond birth through postpartum massage, nourishing home-cooked meals, babywearing and infant care. Because mothers deserve to be nurtured, too.
Nourishment & Care
Thoughtfully prepared meals and nourishing foods to support you through pregnancy, birth and postpartum recovery.

FAQs
General FAQ
-
A massage doula is a trained birth professional who integrates therapeutic touch and massage techniques into your labor and delivery experience. While a traditional doula provides emotional and advocacy support, I use my specialized massage training to help manage pain, encourage optimal fetal positioning, and keep your nervous system regulated during birth.
Arvigo® Maya Abdominal Therapy
-
This is a non-invasive, external massage technique that guides internal organs (the uterus) into their proper position for optimum health and well-being. It focuses on improving the flow of blood, lymph, and nerve impulses to the digestive and reproductive systems.
-
It is incredibly versatile! It can help with:
Fertility: Preparing the body for conception.
Digestion: Addressing IBS, bloating, or chronic constipation.
Menstrual Health: Relieving painful periods or irregular cycles.
Postpartum: Helping the uterus and pelvic floor recover after birth.
-
Yes. This treatment is generally avoided during your period, if you have an active infection, or immediately after abdominal surgery. If you are pregnant, we use a modified version specifically for prenatal care.
Prenatal & Postpartum Massage
-
As a Certified Perinatal Massage Therapist, I am trained to work with you during all stages of pregnancy. While some spas avoid the first trimester, I utilize specific protocols and custom-made equipment to ensure safety and comfort from week one through week forty.
-
Beyond just "feeling good," clinical benefits include:
Reduced swelling (edema) in the joints.
Relief from sciatic nerve pain and lower back strain.
Improved sleep quality.
Lowered levels of cortisol (the stress hormone).
-
For a vaginal birth, we can often begin gentle work within the first week to help with milk let-down and shoulder tension from feeding. For C-section recovery, we typically wait 6 weeks for the incision to heal before doing direct abdominal work, though we can work on your back and limbs much sooner.
The Doula Experience
-
Birth Doula: I am "on call" for you. I provide prenatal visits, continuous labor support, and immediate golden-hour assistance.
Postpartum Doula: I come to your home after the baby is born. My focus is on "mothering the mother"—helping with newborn care education, light meal prep, emotional processing of the birth, and physical recovery.
-
Yes! I accept most forms of insurance including Carrot, Medi-Cal, Kaiser; and others. If you have HSA/FSA funds for therapeutic massage and doula services I can provide you with a detailed superbill to submit for potential reimbursement.
