What is prenatal massage?
Prenatal massage is a specialized form of massage tailored to the changes a body goes through during pregnancy. The therapist uses gentle techniques, supportive cushions or side-lying positioning, and avoids pressure points that are not safe during pregnancy.

What to expect during a session
After the first trimester, you will be positioned on your side with supportive pillows. The therapist will use gentle, soothing strokes focused on the back, hips, legs, and feet. Pressure is light to medium, and certain areas are avoided.
Who it is for
Prenatal massage is safe and recommended for most healthy pregnancies after the first trimester. Always check with your doctor or midwife first, especially if you have a high-risk pregnancy. Look for a therapist trained in prenatal techniques.
