Book Your Prenatal MassageWhat Is a Prenatal Massage?
Prenatal massage is a therapeutic massage specifically adapted for the unique needs of expecting mothers. Using modified positioning — typically side-lying with supportive bolsters — and techniques tailored to each trimester, our therapists provide safe, effective relief from the physical demands of pregnancy.
Unlike standard massage, prenatal sessions avoid certain pressure points and positions while focusing on the areas most impacted by pregnancy: the lower back, hips, legs, and shoulders. The goal is to reduce pain, ease swelling, calm the nervous system, and help expecting mothers feel at ease in their changing bodies. Sessions are fully customized to where you are in your pregnancy and what you need most.

Benefits of Prenatal Massage
Prenatal massage offers meaningful physical and emotional relief for expecting mothers — helping you feel more comfortable and more present throughout your pregnancy.
Relieves Lower Back & Hip Pain
As the body adjusts to a growing belly, the lower back and hips bear significant extra strain. Targeted massage work releases the tight muscles driving that pain and restores a sense of ease.
Reduces Swelling & Edema
Gentle lymphatic techniques improve fluid circulation, reducing swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet that commonly builds up during pregnancy — especially in the third trimester.
Calms the Nervous System
Gentle, rhythmic massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering cortisol and encouraging the deep relaxation that both mother and baby benefit from.
Improves Sleep Quality
By relieving physical discomfort and promoting relaxation, prenatal massage helps expecting mothers get the deeper, more restful sleep that becomes increasingly difficult as pregnancy progresses.
Eases Sciatic Nerve Pain
Pressure on the sciatic nerve is common during pregnancy. Focused work on the lower back, glutes, and piriformis can significantly reduce sciatic pain and the radiating discomfort that comes with it.
Reduces Anxiety & Emotional Tension
Pregnancy can bring a significant emotional load. Regular massage has been shown to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support overall emotional wellbeing during this major life transition.
