Perineal Massage

Perineal massage is a simple, evidence-based way to help prepare your body for birth — gently increasing the flexibility of the tissue between the vagina and anus to help reduce tearing and support a more comfortable delivery. It's something you can start doing yourself at home in the weeks leading up to birth, and we're also here to help — whether that's guiding you through technique, checking in on how your body is responding, or addressing any tension or sensitivity that's making it difficult. Explore our articles below to learn more about the why, the how, and what to expect.
