Results compound with weekly sessions. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FREQUENTLY ASKED Q: Is it safe after a C-section or abdominal surgery? A: Wait a minimum of 6–8 weeks and get clearance from your doctor. Q: How often should I come? A: For IBS or chronic bloating: weekly for 4 weeks, then biweekly. For postpartum: once your 6-week checkup clears you. Q: Is it safe during pregnancy? A: No — we do not perform belly massage during pregnancy. Postpartum (6+ weeks) is beautiful for reset. Q: Will it help with IBS? A: Many clients report significant relief. It helps stimulate healthy peristalsis and relieve trapped gas. Q: Can I combine with a full body massage? A: Yes — book Signature Massage 60 min and add Belly Massage as a back-to-back.
