Postnatal Depression

In the last 10 or 15 years, typical “women” complaints are strongly increased.
We’re talking here about hormonal related complaints like PND (Postnatal depression),
PMS (Premenstrual syndrome) and the Menopause.
These complaints are not new at all, but the last 15 years the sphere of taboo
is taken away for a large part.

PND

About 2% of the women who had a confinement can get troubles like a postnatal depression
after the pregnancy, which starts soon after the birth of the child.
Most often these women have problems with the balance between two hormones:
estrogen and progesterone, where the progesterone has short.

In a lot of cases the complaints are getting worse during the ovulation.
For this reason, women with PMS complaints have a bigger risk to get PND complaints
after the confinement.
These women have problems like compulsive fears. The ways of expression can vary,
but you can think about the fear to hurt the child or themselves, fear to be alone etc.
Most often the problems are consolidated with problems like sleepless, overtired,
concentration loss and aggressive behavior.
The longer this period extends, the more difficult it is to get out of the situation.
A lot of women feel guilt against there own family, which result in a spiral downwards.

The massage gives the body rest and peace, which has a balancing effect on the hormones.
One can see happen a few things: The human body is coming to rest, which will result in peace of mind.
This is giving some sort of basic-rest. The imbalance isn’t cured yet, but the first push is given.
When the rest increases, the body can get the chance to recover and rebalance itself.
(This is done by a difficult biofeedback system, whereby hormones are giving signals to the brain,
which in return send signals back to increase or decrease certain hormones. i.e. progesterone or estrogen.)

When you want to make an appointment, you can choose to come to the practice in Amsterdam,
or you can order the massage at home or hotel in the region Amsterdam, Haarlem (Netherlands).
The massage is combined with aromatherapy, which can help with the regulation of hormones.
