As a maternity and newborn photographer, I am around growing families constantly, especially moms whose bodies are changing and creating a beautiful life. I realized a long time ago after having three pregnancies of my own that I want to support my clients by doing more than creating beautiful galleries. I found small businesses around the Rogue Valley that can help moms before and well after having their sweet little babes. One being Little Tree Massage & Wellness.
Little Tree Massage and Wellness is owned by Val, a nurturing and caring massage therapist. I have met Val in person and believe me when I say her passion for what she does shows. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever met and is someone who naturally connects with anyone shes around. She has a true talent for listening and making you feel cared for. I am so excited to share about her and her business.
Val specializes in Prenatal & Postnatal massage, which is amazing for moms whose body is going through changes both during pregnancy and after. Both can be so hard on your body and having someone to help with that is amazing. The best part is that she doesn’t only massage pregnant women or new moms. She can take care of your entire family. She truly cares so much about each person in the family and will meet you on any part of your journey in life.
She is located in downtown Grants Pass only a block from my studio. Her office is beautiful, calm, and relaxing which allows you to completely unwind during your session. Another amazing thing about Val is that if you feel more comfortable in your own home, she will travel to you. This is something I love because being a mom of three kiddos, who runs around all day taking care of everyone else, it feels like a huge luxury to have someone come to me. I’m sure most moms feel the same way. That alone sets Val apart from others and is why she is such a great resource for expecting moms.
Val doesn’t just massage your body; she is passionate about creating a massage experience that is tailored to your needs. She has many different techniques she uses and a few of these are Myofascial Release, Swedish Massage, and Lymphatic drainage. All amazing for your overall wellness. Her work is skilled passionate, and she always goes the extra mile for her clients.
Val truly cares about your wellness. Not only does she provide amazing and healing massages she also collaborates with women’s health professionals in our area to provide CBD oils as well. I personally love her holistic approach to caring for your body. She doesn’t want you to have short term relief, she truly wants to provide long term support for our bodies.
Being around so many moms who need help caring for their body in a way that isn’t possible on your own before and after birth, I’m so happy I have someone like Val at Little Tree Massage & Wellness to refer them too. Caring for your body during your pregnancy and after is so important and having resources to help you with that is something I enjoy. Pointing my clients to someone so caring and genuine is a true privilege.
If you’re ready to give your body the support it needs, I highly recommend reaching out to Little Tree Massage & Wellness and book a session with Val. Your body will thank you. And if you are pregnant and about to welcome a sweet little babe, I would love to capture this beautiful time through Maternity and Newborn Photography. Reach out so we can chat and book a session.
