Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it also brings unique physical and emotional changes to your body. Prenatal massage is designed to support you safely through every trimester. Drawing on 26 years of clinical experience as a Registered Massage Therapist, you can rest assured that you are in highly capable hands.
What to Expect
Your comfort and safety are my absolute highest priorities. One of the most beloved features of my prenatal treatments is my specialized pregnancy pillow. This unique cushioning system allows you to safely and comfortably lie face-down on your belly—a rare luxury that expecting mothers absolutely love! If you prefer, I am also fully equipped to provide a deeply relaxing, pillow-supported side-lying treatment.
Benefits of Prenatal Massage can Include:
- Relieves lower back ache, pelvic pressure, and sciatic nerve tension.
- Reduces swelling and fluid retention in the hands, legs, and feet.
- Eases muscle stiffness, neck tension, and headaches.
- Lowers stress and anxiety, promoting deeper, more restful sleep.
Take time to focus on your wellness. My home-based clinic provides a quiet, dedicated space for your care.
Is prenatal massage safe during the first trimester?
Yes, prenatal massage is safe during the first trimester when performed by an experienced clinician. Intake involves a thorough health history review to ensure there are no specific medical contraindications, and treatment adjustments are made entirely around your changing body and comfort level.
How does the specialized pregnancy pillow work?
The Earthlite specialized cushion system features a centered cutout that supports your body while allowing your belly to rest safely and comfortably face-down. This takes the pressure completely off your lower back and abdomen—offering a wonderful, rare opportunity to relax face-down safely. This cushion is adored by prenatal patients! If you are further along or prefer an alternative, fully supported side-lying positioning is always available.
Do I need to bring anything special to my appointment?
No, everything you need for comfort and support is provided at the clinic. The sessions are in a quiet, private home-based setting designed to help you completely unwind.
