Pregnancies lead to big business. In Northern Arizona, there are several companies that cater to pregnant women. In addition, there are a lot of products offered online. Some of the local options include prenatal massage, prenatal yoga classes, photography and clothing stores. Jessica Williams of Red Moon Massage offers a service that may be new to many people. She says massage can greatly reduce the discomfort, especially hip, lower back and sciatic nerve pain, that pregnant women often experience.
Williams relocated to Flagstaff from California about a year and a half ago. She has national certification and a license to practice in Arizona.
She also works with Dr. Humphreys St. Laurel Morales offers prenatal yoga classes to clients through The Yoga Experience, a studio in downtown Flagstaff. She says that doing yoga strengthens muscles and supports the expanding belly and changing body. Prenatal yoga empowers women to find their own source of wisdom and grace. Morales became interested in prenatal yoga when she was pregnant with her daughter, Scarlett.
She says it helped her prepare physically and mentally for labor and childbirth. For 19 years, Flagstaff photographer Kristen Iwai has been taking photographs of pregnant women and families and individuals. She has had a studio in Flagstaff for the past 14 years, relocating from the Boston area. As a visual artist, I think the shape of the pregnant belly is beautiful.
The fact that we as human beings can make other people is awe-inspiring. I just continue to be fascinated to watch people go through that! But it is her wonderment of the beginning of life that really motivates her to continue her work. The author has a very detailed Website at www.
