What To Expect During Your Session
Expectant mothers are comfortably positioned side-lying with supportive pillows supporting the belly, back, and knees to eliminate pressure on the pelvic joints and vena cava. Gentle circulatory effleurage and targeted gluteal friction relieve sciatic pressure and tension in the lumbar muscles.
Therapists avoid contraindicated acupressure points on the ankles and hands, ensuring total peace of mind throughout your visit.

Prenatal Massage FAQ
When is prenatal massage safe to receive?
Prenatal massage is safe and highly recommended during the second and third trimesters. If you are experiencing a high-risk pregnancy, we recommend consulting your OB-GYN prior to scheduling.
Will I be lying on my stomach?
No. We position mothers in a comfortable, supportive side-lying position with soft bolsters, which is recognized by medical professionals as the safest and most relaxing position for both mother and baby.
