How to Prepare for Your Baby's Arrival with Maison Né
The arrival of a child is an interlude that is both joyful and full of all kinds of questions… Fortunately, over the past few years, expectant parents have been increasingly (and better) supported at every step of the way. At Charlie Crane, we care deeply about the health and well-being of every parent and child — values we share with…Maison Né ! Founded by Célia and Morgane, two healthcare professionals, Maison Né is the first network of health and wellness spaces dedicated to mothers and children. Together, we explain how to prepare for your baby's arrival serenely.
During pregnancy:
Pregnancy is a wonderful time, an enchanted interlude for some, but also an exhausting period, sometimes with its share of discomforts. Well, the good news is that when you are pregnant, it is also the perfect time to take care of yourself. At Maison Né, expectant mothers are welcomed as they deserve, with treatments focused on their mental and physical well-being.
There are many on offer at Maison Né! For the expectant mother, there is for example the sophro-massage, a very gentle method that combines relaxation techniques inspired by sophrology and body massage to release the tensions associated with pregnancy. Maison Né also offers a classic prenatal massage to relax and reconnect peacefully with your body. Finally, a big favorite: lymphatic drainage or maderotherapy. Ideal for the lower body, which carries the weight of life and sometimes the dreaded water retention linked to pregnancy hormones… Goodbye heavy legs!
Prenatal Pilates is very popular among expectant mothers, and for good reason: this gentle method created by Joseph Pilates is very effective for strengthening deep muscles, improving posture, stretching muscles and getting into the best possible shape for childbirth. Prenatal Yoga is also on the program, but in a gentle way so that each person can go at their own pace, according to their wishes and/or abilities. A little more energetic for the more adventurous: prenatal fitness guides you through progressive and safe exercises at every stage of pregnancy.
What we love about this type of hybrid venue is that there is something for everyone! You can even be tempted by workshops you might not have imagined… After all, pregnancy is a bubble in which you should try new experiences, right? So at Maison Né, as part of the perinatal support program, you can choose a sophrology workshop to find calm and serenity when thoughts start to race. Our favorite: the workshop for the co-parent-to-be, because the future father or co-parent is rarely thought of in the preparations for childbirth. They too need to prepare for the arrival of the baby and often have a great many questions to ask!
In the postpartum period:
When a baby has just been born, it is a whirlwind of emotions! Nevertheless, it is still a period during which both mother and child need to take the time to get to know each other, establish a rhythm, reconnect with the body and of course find (or rediscover) balance. During this "4th trimester," Maison Né also offers many benefits.
Baby thalasso bath and wrapped bath
Do you know about baby thalasso bathing? Created by Sonia Krief and commonly known as the "Sonia bath" for a long time, it is THE most beautiful gift you can give yourself or offer to a couple of new parents. However, the bath should be done in the first weeks of the newborn's life (preferably before 1 month). By wrapping the baby in a towel and immersing them in a bath, baby rediscovers the sensations of being in their mother's womb: a moment of relaxation, a bubble of joy for the whole family and above all an unforgettable memory. Another idea: the wrapped bath. It is also an ideal moment of aquatic relaxation!
Baby massages
Depending on the birth experience, babies may have minor tensions, small aches, or little physical discomforts… In order to best support their development, their growth, and with the aim of soothing them and fostering connection with their parent, Maison Né offers baby massage workshops either one-on-one or in groups. It is a moment to learn about non-verbal communication, to comfort your newborn and encourage their sleep.
The rebozo treatment for moms
Mom also needs her dose of well-being to recover physically and emotionally from childbirth. Why not treat her — or yourself — to a Rebozo treatment to recentre and close the body? The rebozo is an ancestral Mexican shawl used during transitional periods such as the postpartum. It is an interlude lasting 2 to 3 hours, performed by 4 hands, with oils, a hammam session followed by the tightening of the body at seven key points. The body is detoxified and reconnected. In short, at Charlie Crane it is by far our favorite.
