Wild Plum Wellness: Get Massaged Without Leaving Your Home

Achy hips, sore lower back and heartburn? These are all common complaints during pregnancy. Thankfully, they’re also all conditions that can be alleviated by massage therapy. Getting out to a pregnancy massage appointment can be a challenge for some pregnant mamas, especially those who are on bed rest, in a hospital or at home with a toddler. If you can’t get to a pregnancy massage, Wild Plum Wellness will bring the pregnancy massage to you.

How Did Wild Plum Wellness Get Started?

Wild Plum Wellness is founded by Mandy Ryan and Kaely Sandbeck, both Registered Massage Therapists who work together in a clinical setting at Soma Studio. What inspired them to bring massage therapy to pregnant woman at home? Mandy and Kaely explain: “While working at Soma we spoke with numerous women over the phone who wanted massage therapy but were on bed rest, home with a newborn baby, busy with a toddler, or needing an at-home date with their partner. It became clear that there were a large group of women who couldn’t make it in to a clinic but still needed treatment. After visiting some of these people and seeing the results we could have when they were relaxed in their own homes, or getting therapeutic and compassionate touch while in hospital, our excitement and passion grew and Wild Plum Wellness was born.”

Pregnancy Massage at Home

Mandy and Kaely have a wide range of skills and specialties that they bring to each client meeting, including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, swedish massage, manual lymphatic drainage techniques, deep tissue massage, guided relaxation and infant massage. When arriving at a home, they set up a massage table which includes pregnancy pillows that allow most pregnant women to safely lie down on their stomach. They also discuss any areas of concern before starting the treatment. Wild Plum Wellness also offers tailored home care, including strengthening and stretching exercises.

What’s next for Wild Plum Wellness?

After recently adding infant massage to their services, they are currently pursing education in cranial sacral therapy and doula services. Mandy and Kaely are always looking to connect with people and find out what services they would like to see in the future. If you have an idea, let them know!
