When performed by a licensed prenatal therapist, this massage is generally safe throughout pregnancy. Techniques and pressure are modified for each trimester. We recommend informing your obstetrician and advising us of any complications before booking for personalized guidance and clearance.

We complete a health intake and adjust techniques for common pregnancy concerns like high blood pressure, blood-clot risk, or placenta conditions. Our therapists avoid deep abdominal pressure, use supportive bolsters, and require doctor clearance for high-risk pregnancies.

Most clients receive prenatal massage in a comfortable side-lying position with bolsters and cushions, or on a specially designed pregnancy table. We avoid lying prone and continually check comfort, adapting positioning as your pregnancy progresses.

Many clients begin prenatal massage after the first trimester, with frequency tailored to needs—weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Book earlier in the day if swelling is worse later; consult your provider if you have any pregnancy complications before scheduling.

You should not receive prenatal massage if you have active pre-eclampsia, uncontrolled high blood pressure, fever, recent blood clots, or signs of preterm labor. Always disclose medical history; we will request physician approval for high-risk conditions before treating.

After a 60-minute prenatal massage many mothers-to-be report reduced back and hip pain, less swelling, improved sleep, and greater relaxation. Results vary; a series of sessions often produces longer-lasting relief and better overall comfort during pregnancy.
