Prenatal/ Labor Massage Therapy

Not only is your body preparing for childbirth, but your mind is too, which is why that urge to “nest” may have resulted in a freezer full of lasagna and a stack of laundry that you’ve washed and folded twice. Still, the prospect of labor can seem overwhelming, especially if this is your first baby. Worries about pain, fatigue, finding help and whether you’ve learned enough about the process can weigh you down. Relax, mama — help is on the way! This prenatal/labor massage will help you mentally and physically prepare for labor. This massage is done 1 to 2 weeks prior to labor to relax the muscles, decrease inflammation, and to bring a sense of serenity and peace to your body and mind so you are ready to welcome the little one. The massage therapist will make accommodations with special cushioning systems and holes that allow you to lie face down safely, while providing room for your growing belly and breasts.

What it is

Prenatal massage is for pregnancy, and most of the hour is spent side-lying or supported with pillows while the therapist works more slowly through your back, hips, legs and shoulders — adjusting pressure, avoiding some positions and techniques — and you leave having had bodywork shaped around a pregnant body.

Usually booked for

  • Aching hips, back or shoulders in pregnancy
  • Wanting massage that accommodates a changing body
  • Needing a more supported, side-lying session
