Prenatal Massage: Relax, Rejuvenate, and Support Your Body During Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings many changes to your body, and sometimes those changes can result in discomfort, stress, or tension. Prenatal massage is a safe, gentle way to help alleviate those common pregnancy-related aches and pains while promoting relaxation and well-being for both you and your baby.
-
Prenatal massage is a specialized type of massage therapy designed specifically for expectant mothers. This type of massage focuses on relieving the physical and emotional stresses that come with pregnancy, such as sore muscles, joint pain, swelling, and stress.
Unlike traditional massages, prenatal massage techniques take into account the changes your body is undergoing and are modified to ensure the safety and comfort of both you and your baby. Our experienced therapist is trained in the appropriate techniques, positioning, and precautions for a safe and relaxing experience.

Prenatal massage offers a variety of benefits that can help improve your overall health and well-being during pregnancy, including:
Reduced Muscle Tension: Pregnancy can cause tightness in the lower back, hips, shoulders, and legs. Massage helps relax muscles and ease discomfort.
Improved Circulation: As your body changes, circulation may become less efficient. Prenatal massage promotes blood flow, which can reduce swelling and improve overall circulation.
Reduced Swelling: Massage helps to stimulate the lymphatic system, which can reduce fluid retention and swelling, particularly in the feet and ankles.
Alleviates Pregnancy Discomforts: Common pregnancy complaints like back pain, sciatic nerve pain, and tension headaches can be relieved with the right techniques.
Better Sleep: Massage promotes relaxation, which can help you sleep better and reduce insomnia that is common during pregnancy.
Improved Mood: Hormonal changes and physical discomfort can affect mood. Prenatal massage can help to reduce stress and promote relaxation, which helps to improve overall mood.
Improved Posture: The changes in your body’s center of gravity can affect your posture. Massage can help maintain better posture and reduce strain on your back and neck.
-
When performed by a trained professional, prenatal massage is very safe. We ensure that all techniques and positioning are adapted to your pregnancy stage to provide maximum comfort and safety. It’s important to consult with your healthcare provider before scheduling a prenatal massage, especially if you have any health concerns or complications
-
Your prenatal massage experience will be customized to your individual needs and comfort level. We use pillows, bolsters, or side-lying positions to ensure you feel fully supported and relaxed. The massage will be gentle and soothing, focusing on the areas of your body that are experiencing the most tension.
You’ll be in a serene, calm environment where you can unwind, focus on your well-being, and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of massage. Whether it’s your first pregnancy or your third, prenatal massage provides a unique opportunity to nurture yourself and bond with your baby.
-
Expecting mothers must be past the 1st trimester by the time of scheduled service. You may choose to get regular prenatal massages after the 1st trimester to help alleviate tension, improve your sleep, and feel more relaxed throughout your pregnancy.

Postnatal Massage: Relax, Recover, and Rejuvenate
-
Postnatal massage is a soothing, therapeutic massage specifically designed to support new mothers in their recovery after childbirth. This form of massage helps ease tension, alleviate pain, and promote overall well-being during the postpartum period. After the physical and emotional challenges of pregnancy and childbirth, postnatal massage offers vital relaxation and healing, addressing the unique needs of new mothers as they adjust to their new role
-
Promotes Healing & Recovery: Childbirth takes a physical toll on the body, and postnatal massage helps to accelerate the healing process. It reduces muscle tension and soreness, particularly in areas that often become strained during pregnancy, such as the lower back, shoulders, and hips.
Reduces Stress & Anxiety: New motherhood can be overwhelming, and postnatal massage is an effective way to relieve stress and anxiety. The calming effects of massage help balance hormone levels and support emotional well-being during this transitional period.
Improves Circulation: Massage stimulates blood flow, which is especially important after childbirth to promote healing, reduce swelling, and increase the oxygen and nutrient supply to tissues that need recovery.
Helps with Posture: The changes in posture that occur during pregnancy can persist after delivery. Postnatal massage targets areas of the body that may be misaligned or stiff from holding a baby, breastfeeding, or adjusting to a new routine, helping to restore proper posture.
Enhances Lactation: Massage can help stimulate the lymphatic system, which may improve milk production for breastfeeding mothers. It can also help with conditions such as mastitis (inflammation of the breast tissue), by easing blockages and encouraging milk flow.
Supports Emotional Well-Being: The physical touch of massage can elevate mood and promote the release of endorphins, the body’s natural "feel-good" hormones. This can contribute to better emotional health as you navigate the challenges of motherhood.
-
It’s generally recommended to wait until at least 2-6 weeks after childbirth before scheduling your first postnatal massage. However, this can vary depending on your specific recovery and we require clearance from your healthcare provider. After a cesarean section, it may be best to wait a little longer, as healing time can be extended.
-
Your therapist will create a relaxing and comfortable environment tailored to your needs. They will gently assess areas of tension, particularly in the neck, shoulders, back, and hips. The massage is typically less intense than a regular deep tissue massage, with an emphasis on relaxation, comfort, and gentle pressure to promote healing. Specialized cushions or pillows will be used to provide support as you lie on your side or in a seated position, particularly if you’re still recovering from a cesarean section or have sensitive areas.
-
Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. We encourage open communication with your therapist to ensure the treatment is right for your body and recovery process. Every massage is customized to meet your needs, whether you’re dealing with physical discomfort, stress, or just need a moment to relax.
