Pregnancy Massage and Postpartum Care in Berlin-Mitte
MamiSpa®
Pregnancy, and the months that follow birth, are a season of their own. The body keeps its own rhythm, and much of what changes is hard to put into words. There is a name for this passage: the anthropologist Dana Raphael called it matrescence in 1973, a transition as profound as adolescence.
At Inanna we accompany this time without hurrying it. Every visit begins with a quiet conversation and an attentive look at your skin and body that day. Only then does the treatment itself begin. Nothing follows a fixed script; everything is composed around the moment and how you feel.
This is the heart of the Inanna Method®: the person before the method, calm before pace. Our treatments are intended to complement your medical care, in close agreement with your midwife or doctor. We work in English and in German, and privacy here is a standard, not a promise: you are undisturbed, and the time is yours.
Care through pregnancy and the months after birth
Our offering follows the natural course of this time rather than a list. During pregnancy, from the thirteenth week, a gentle pregnancy massage and a facial composed for pregnancy are available individually, as you wish. Manual lymphatic drainage has its place only later, in the time after birth.
In the fourth trimester, we accompany your recovery with care. Once your midwife or doctor confirms that healing has safely progressed, the possibilities range from a facial through bodywork and manual lymphatic drainage to a gentle, very private accompaniment of the core and pelvic area.
Every treatment begins with a conversation. Pressure, pace, and positioning follow your trimester, your stage of recovery, and your sensitivity that day. Comfortable, secure positioning is supported by the Elsa® Swiss side-sleeping pillow.
Origins and craft
Our bodywork follows the tradition of Esalen® massage, which began in 1962 at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, founded by Michael Murphy and Richard Price. Its long, flowing strokes and quiet, continuous rhythm invite the body to settle. From the second trimester, we adapt it to pregnancy with careful positioning and gentle pressure.
Manual lymphatic drainage in the Dr. Vodder® method goes back to the Danish couple Emil and Estrid Vodder, who developed it in the 1930s and first presented it in Paris in 1936. Its soft, rhythmic movements follow the natural path of the lymph. Within the MamiSpa® program we offer it only after birth, once healing has safely progressed.
Where technology joins the work, it stays in the service of the hands. INDIBA® began in Barcelona in 1983 and works with a gentle radiofrequency; we use it with care in the time after birth. Dermalux® LED phototherapy, from the United Kingdom, works without heat and is suited to facial care throughout pregnancy. Skin analysis with Canfield VISIA® serves only as orientation and remains secondary to the observation and judgment of our Meisterinnen des Hauses.
Our facials work with Biologique Recherche® from France, a house that has developed its formulations since the late 1970s. Each formulation, free of fragrance, is matched to your Skin Instant® that day. In the end it is neither the device nor the method that matters, but the person, accompanied calmly and without haste. Whenever you wish, you can reach us here.
