At GLOW, this contemporary and expanded definition of health is central to our philosophy and integrated into the care that every practitioner at GLOW provides.
During the perinatal period, there is a growing evidence base that shows:
- The critical importance of maternal nutrition on maternal outcomes and infant / child emotional and physical development
- The benefits of maternal and infant massage on maternal and infant wellbeing
- The effectiveness of exercise and mind-body modalities such as mindfulness and yoga on perinatal anxiety and depression.
