New York, NY (PRWEB) May 30, 2007 -- Often, healthy women do not become pregnant due to stress, anxiety, and additional pressure to balance life, career, and motherhood.  Dorit Baxter, after serving a high-end New York clientele for over twenty-five years, especially designed a massage to create a "motherhood mood".  This pregnancy massage is for those who want a unique way to diffuse the pressures of becoming pregnant, while creating a serene mental and emotional environment for conception.

This massage technique helps the body become in tune with the natural rhythms and cycles that help to encourage pregnancy, including gentle strokes to induce relaxation, with additional work on pressure points to release blocked emotions.  In the 10-day period during the ovarian cycle when a woman is most fertile, Dorit Baxter recommends massage for women alone, or with their partners, every other day to increase the probability of becoming pregnant.

Dorit Baxter has become an affiliate of the Center for Human Reproduction (CHR), to increase awareness of the effects massage can have on fertility.  The CHR, one of New York's most recognized reproductive endocrinology and infertility centers, has already highlighted the importance of massage to create a relaxed mood for those hoping to become pregnant.  By creating the Motherhood Mood massage, Dorit Baxter wants to increase trust and understanding among the population of men and women that struggle with infertility and emotional fatigue.

Massage therapists, through nurturing movements and conversation, can become a part of an external support network.  Batya Perline, a certified massage therapist with three children, had trouble becoming pregnant in the past. 

"If I had known years ago that massage therapy would help me get pregnant, I would have definitely taken advantage of it.  I remember being stressed - I could have used the relaxation.  My doctor kept on telling my husband and me to relax, but we just didn't know how.  Now I tell everyone I know that is trying to get pregnant to have massages together - a couples' massage is the best way to become bound in their goal to become pregnant." 

For those who choose external fertilization, Perline recommends massages daily during the time when women are having fertilization treatments.  "Massages help to take your mind off of the process, the clinics, and the frustration.  You become filled with nurturing emotions," Perline adds.

"If a woman decides to become pregnant, I believe that the mood is a crucial factor for success.  If there are no medical obstacles, I hope this massage is one way to support the modern woman's pursuit of motherhood," Dorit Baxter concludes.

At the New York Day Spa, the Motherhood Massage is 55 minutes and costs $95 as a single session.  Special packages for three months and short but intensive massages are also available.
