Pregnancy changes your body week by week, and a lot of those changes come with aching backs, tired legs, and trouble getting comfortable. Massage during pregnancy, and in the weeks after birth, is one way to take care of yourself through all of it. Here is how it works at our studio.
Massage during pregnancy
Prenatal massage is adapted to your body and your stage of pregnancy. Sessions use supportive pillows and positioning, often side-lying, so you can fully relax without pressure on your belly. Many clients find prenatal massage helps them feel more comfortable day to day: easing the feel of back and hip aches, tired legs, and the general tension that builds up as your body changes, and giving them an hour of genuine rest.
One studio precaution to know: we do not provide massage during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. After that, we are glad to book you, and we always recommend checking with your own healthcare provider first, especially if your pregnancy is high-risk or you have any complications.
Massage after birth
Postpartum massage focuses on the work your body is doing now: recovering, feeding, and carrying your baby. New mothers often come in with tight shoulders, necks, and backs from holding and nursing, and a session gives those muscles a chance to let go. It is also simply a quiet hour to yourself, which is its own kind of valuable in the first months.
