What Is It and Who Can Benefit From It?
Prenatal + Postpartum Massage is a specialized, nurturing form of bodywork designed to support mothers during and after pregnancy. This treatment is tailored to the physical and emotional changes that occur throughout the prenatal and postpartum journey — from growing belly and shifting posture to the aches, fatigue, and hormonal transitions that follow birth.
Whether you’re newly pregnant, in your third trimester, or recovering in the months after delivery, this massage is designed to relieve discomfort, calm the nervous system, and provide the grounded care your body needs.
All sessions use certified prenatal techniques and are performed with the mother’s comfort and safety in mind. Side-lying cushions and supportive bolsters are used to position the body gently, allowing for full relaxation without pressure to the abdomen or joints.
