Our Prenatal, side-lying massage is a 60-minute massage that comforts Mom and Baby through relaxing massage techniques. Our goal is to pamper Mama and ease muscle tension, decrease stress, and improve circulation. As your body goes through so many changes, a gentle massage can help ease tension in those areas that often feel tight, like your lower back and hips.
Not only does it promote better circulation, which can help with swelling, but it also encourages a deeper sense of calm and well-being. Many moms-to-be find that these massages can even improve sleep and reduce anxiety, making the journey to motherhood a bit smoother and more enjoyable. It’s all about nurturing both your body and spirit during this beautiful time.
Please note this massage is only performed after the first trimester.

About: prenatal massage techniques
Prenatal massage incorporates various techniques tailored to the unique needs of expectant mothers. Here are some commonly used methods:
-
Gentle Swedish Massage: This technique uses long, flowing strokes to promote relaxation and improve circulation, focusing on areas of tension.
-
Positioning Techniques: Using cushions and pillows, therapists ensure that the mother is comfortable and supported, often using side-lying positions to avoid pressure on the abdomen.
-
Stretching and Range of Motion: Gentle stretches can help alleviate tightness and improve flexibility, especially in the hips and lower back.
Each session is customized to the individual’s needs, ensuring a safe and soothing experience for both mother and baby.
