pre and post-natal spa solutions at the spa at yellow creek

The Spa at Yellow Creek has created a full package that supports you throughout your second and third trimester and following the birth. The Spa and the physicians of Obstetrics and Gynecology of The Reserve worked together to provide solutions to the most common situations associated with pregnancy. In addition to this wonderful package called "mother to be", The Spa at Yellow Creek's lifestyle coaches and nutrition experts can work with you to get you eating right for both you and your baby and can develop a low-impact workout routine to keep you healthy before, during and after the pregnancy.

nutrition and exercise before, during and after pregnancy

For many, having a baby is a process that takes a bit of planning. Many of our patients want to be in the best shape before their pregnancy so they can remain healthy throughout the pregnancy and after the birth. The Spa's lifestyle coaches can work with you and your doctor in creating a plan that will prepare you for your pregnancy.

Already pregnant? No problem. The Spa's lifestyle coaches are aware of exercise routines and regimes that keep you and your baby as healthy and safe as possible. This also will allow you to more easily take off the extra baby weight following the birth.

pain and prenatal massage

pre-natal massage is something that provides several benefits during your labor. Carrying a child comes with many strains to our bodies. Prenatal massage is safe to do during the second and third trimesters and improves circulation, general relaxation and soothes sore muscles.

The Spa at Yellow Creek allows only those therapists who are licensed by the state medical board of Ohio and are certified in prenatal massage. They use special pillows designed to allow the mother to be to lay on her stomach during the massage while keeping the baby safe.

tired and heavy legs and feet

During the pregnancy, circulation becomes extremely important and can sometimes cause your legs to feel tired and heavy. The Spa at Yellow Creek has designed a wonderful treatment for this very specific purpose. This service improves circulation and reinvigorates your legs and feet using obstetrically tested products so they are safe for the baby. This is one of The Spa's most invigorating and stimulating experience, especially for prenatal women.

skin care

Many women do not realize the effects that pregnancy can have on your skin. When you are pregnant, your body naturally provides all nutrients to the baby first which means that the many vitamins and hydration that women ingest throughout the day go to the baby first. This can take a heavy toll on your skin, making it appear dull and dehydrated. Dehydration is one of the leading causes of the aging process and this is why it is so important to use proper products. The Spa at Yellow Creek also recommends a hydrating facial around the seventh month to help refresh and tone the skin.

stretch marks

Just as a women's face needs attention during pregnancy, so does the rest of the skin on her body. Stretch marks are a major concern with most women who become pregnant. The good news is that there are several things that can be done to minimize stretch marks during pregnancy. One of these things is The Spa at Yellow Creeks Aroma Envelopment Body Treatment of "Belly Facial". This is recommended at the beginning of the second trimester and again after the birth. The purpose of the treatment is to nourish the skin and restore the nutrients that your body will lose, causing the skin to become dehydrated and more prone to stretch marks. Vitamins A and D are infused into your skin in that area and a hydrating mask and balm is used to provide complete hydration. During the pregnancy, it is recommended that a night and day cream are applied everyday that is specifically designed to renourish that area. It is also important to use products that are safe for you and the baby. The same products that are used in the Aroma Envelopment treatment are also available for purchase.
