Fertility Massage from Mom Spa Results in Several Conceptions
(Mt Pleasant, SC) Mom Spa, which opened this past spring, is different from other spas in Charleston. Yes, they specialize in massage, scrubs, wraps, facials and natural nails, but what sets them apart is their cutting edge Fertility Massage. Owner and certified massage therapist Christy Schachte is specially trained in this pre-conception technique which is having very positive results. Client Meredith Hulen had been trying to get pregnant on her own for over 7 months with no success. After learning about MoM Spa and this unique service, Hulen decided to try Fertility Massage. “I went to Christy not really knowing what to expect but came away feeling extremely relaxed, empowered by her suggestions and hopeful about the conception process.’ Two other clients of Schachte’s have also recently celebrated successful conceptions without medical intervention.
Fertility massage, which is a natural alternative to some medical fertility treatments, aims to open, cleanse and balance the body in preparation for a successful conception. This kind of massage can be done on any woman, in between menstruation and ovulation, as long as she is not pregnant. Schachte has also had great success with helping clients who were not ovulating and/or menstruating.
“We are bringing the mind and body back into balance so anything that could be blocking conception is removed and ovulation, menstruation and pregnancy are achieved naturally,” says Schachte. The technique actually differs greatly from traditional massage. The therapist needs to be a certified massage therapist and must have additional extensive training. Clients are instructed to breathe deeply from the ‘hara’ or lower abdomen and to visualize the image of their child in the womb. Deep specific techniques are also used within each session:
- Castor oil hot packs to begin the cleansing process
- Jaw release to loosen the hip and pelvic region
- Cranial-sacral energy work for support
- Reflexology or stimulation of points in the hands and feet
- Abdominal massage to assist with the digestive process
- Pelvic friction, done over the sheet, to increase the blood flow to the spine and pelvic region
- Relaxation techniques: visualization, meditation, prayer, intention
In addition to Fertility Massage, Schachte also recommends a healthy diet made up of whole grains, organic vegetables, fruits and meats. This is a trend that’s catching on nationally; Newsweek Magazine recently brought to light how food can directly affect fertility in a cover story this past fall. Partner suggestions are also provided at the end of each session.

Moms-to-be, and those hoping to be sometime
soon, could get a relaxing boost from MoM Spa, a new Mount
Pleasant spa that plans to specialize in 'fertility

to decrease the body's physical signals of stress, including
heart rate and brain waves, which some experts say may
play a role in the ability to conceive.

to 'open, cleanse and balance the body in preparation
for conceiving.' The spa also offers post-natal treatments,
as well as the usual assortment of girly spa treatments,
including body wraps, facials, anti-aging treatments
