A Continuum of Care for Pregnancy
Before, During & After. We walk with you through it all.
Pregnancy isn't a single moment. It's a journey that begins long before a positive test and continues well beyond delivery. Your body was designed with the remarkable ability to conceive, carry, birth, and recover. Sometimes, though, it needs help clearing what's in the way.
​
At Functional Therapy & Wellness, we offer a continuum of care that supports you through every season of the motherhood journey: preparing your body for conception, sustaining your comfort and strength through pregnancy, and restoring you fully after birth. One practice, one relationship, one pathway of renewal from the very first hope to the fullness of new life.
Before:
Preparing the way.
PRECONCEPTION & FERTILITY SUPPORT A healthy pregnancy begins with a well-prepared body. Whether you're just beginning to plan for a family or have struggled with infertility or loss, we help create the conditions your body needs to conceive and carry well. Our preconception care draws on all three pillars of our Renewal Pathway: MERCIER THERAPY Our signature fertility work. This gentle, non-invasive visceral technique mobilizes the reproductive organs, releases restrictions from scar tissue and adhesions, and enhances blood flow to the pelvis – with a research-supported 83% success rate in aiding pregnancy. HORMONAL & ENDOCRINE RENEWAL In-depth hormone analysis, cycle tracking training, and personalized supplement guidance to restore the rhythm between your brain, hormones, and reproductive system. NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION Chronic stress quietly works against fertility. We help your body shift out of survival mode and into a state where conception becomes possible. Ideal for: infertility, irregular or painful cycles, recurrent miscarriage, recovery from gynecological surgery, or simply preparing your body well before trying to conceive.
During:
Carrying with Strength & Peace.
Starting around 15–18 weeks, your body enters a season where a different kind of support becomes possible — one that works with the structures actually holding and shaping your growing baby. Pregnancy bodywork is a full-body, ligament-focused approach, similar in spirit to myofascial work, that gently aligns the uterine ligaments and surrounding structures. As your uterus grows, these ligaments can shift out of balance, creating tension that shows up as low back pain, hip ache, neck tension, and round ligament discomfort. Realigning them doesn't just ease that discomfort; it also helps position your baby optimally for continued growth and for delivery. This is different from a prenatal massage or a chiropractic adjustment. Massage works the muscles. Chiropractic care looks at joint and muscle imbalance. This work goes a layer deeper, addressing the ligaments that suspend and support the uterus itself. Because it directly affects uterine alignment, it has the potential to influence your delivery outcome, not just your day-to-day comfort. What to expect: — A full-body session that addresses the whole system supporting your pregnancy, not just the spot that hurts. — Real, lasting relief. Many women feel a noticeable difference after a single session, a nagging backache or neck ache that simply doesn't return the way it used to. — Flexible frequency. Come in for a one-time session for relief, or schedule regular visits throughout the remainder of your pregnancy as your body continues to change. — Labor and pushing preparation. As you near your due date, sessions can shift to help prepare your body for labor, including guidance on positions to labor in and preparation for pushing. WHO IT'S FOR: Any pregnant woman can benefit. This isn't reserved for high-risk pregnancies or significant pain. Whether you're managing real discomfort or simply want your body as prepared as possible for the birth ahead, this work can make a meaningful difference in how you feel through the rest of your pregnancy. IDEAL FOR: low back, hip, neck, or round ligament discomfort; a body that feels increasingly out of balance as your pregnancy progresses; and preparation for labor and delivery in the third trimester.
After:
Restoration & Renewal.
POSTARTUM RECOVERY Birth is a profound event for your body. and healing afterward deserves the same intention as the pregnancy itself. Whether you delivered weeks ago or years ago, it is never too late to recover fully. Our postpartum care helps you: HEAL & REBUILD Gentle pelvic and abdominal work to address pelvic floor dysfunction, core weakness, diastasis recti, and scar tissue from cesarean birth or perineal tearing. REBALANCE YOUR HORMONES Supporting your endocrine system as it recalibrates after birth, addressing the fatigue, mood shifts, and depletion so many new mothers are told to simply accept. RESET YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM Processing the intensity of birth, including difficult or traumatic birth experiences, so your body can move out of stress and into rest, connection, and healing. Ideal for: postpartum pain or weakness, pelvic floor concerns, C-section recovery, birth trauma, low energy, and the deep exhaustion of early motherhood.
One Journey. One Team. Every Season.
Because we walk with you across the entire continuum, nothing gets lost between providers. The therapist who helped prepare your body for conception knows your story when you return for prenatal care, and is there to help you heal after your baby arrives.
​
Every session is 1:1 with your therapist, 75–90 minutes, and shaped around your unique story. This isn't symptom management. It's a renewal of the whole self so you can step into motherhood as all that God designed you to be.
​
"I am hoping to become a mom"
becomes
"I am carrying new life"
becomes
"I am whole, healed, and holding my baby."
​
Wherever you are on the journey, healing is possible.
