Prenatal Massage provides full body treatment for expecting women while adapting to specific postural needs and contraindications. As pregnancy advances, the demands on a woman’s muscles and joints shifts. Prenatal massage addresses these shifts, bringing relief to the body. For many women, receiving regular prenatal massage can help with the most disruptive postural discomforts.

The side-lying positioning has the client laying on their side with various pillows and bolsters to support the head, knees, chest, and hips to ensure their comfort during the session. We may also have you lay on your back in an inclined position.
