Pregnancy Massage

During pregnancy a woman's body undergoes many changes, some of them stressful and uncomfortable. Massage is a perfect way to reduce stress and promote general well-being. We will be using as many pillows and blankets as you need during your pregnancy massage. This modality will focus on relaxation and relief for specific areas of your body as you go through this amazing journey.

Common problems for muscle pain in pregnancy tend to focus on the lower back/hip area, and the upper back/neck area. The low back is being pulled at more of a curve than usual with the result of then pulling on the upper back as well. These areas need the tender care of massage to give you the relief you deserve. During your visit, we will give you the option of lying on your stomach by using special comfort pads specifically designed for pregnancy, or on your side with the aide of pillows and blankets to keep you as comfortable as possible.
