prenatal massage

Congratulations on your growing family! For many people, massage is not a luxury, but an absolute necessity to stay healthy, active, and pain free during pregnancy. Prenatal massage varies between relaxing massage bliss for you and your baby and focused treatment work to relieve aches and pains. Typically this session blends swedish and deep tissue massage and is tailored to the transforming needs of your individual body and baby(ies). See all session rates.

Come once, come weekly, or anything in between.

 

massage for every stage of pregnancy

1st trimester

Relaxation massage eases exhaustion related to nausea or first trimester fatigue. Deep tissue massage sustains parents who are keeping up with their normal daily routines and activities. 

2nd trimester

Structural integration supports the body through the rapid changes associated with this trimester including baby’s (or babies’) growth, relaxation of ligaments, and hormonal shifts.

3rd trimester

Prepare for labor by connecting to body, belly, and baby. In each session we re-attune to techniques that create comfort — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

4th trimester

Baby is here! Elation. Exhaustion. Exhale. Postnatal massage relieves tensions created by birth and infant care. Learn more about all postpartum massage sessions.
