A pregnancy massage is a little different to a regular massage, mainly in terms of positioning and using gentler strokes.
Massage during pregnancy will always be performed in a position that is comfortable to you – lying on your side or possibly on your back if you feel ok in this position.
Durations available: 45, 60, 90 minutes
Benefits of a Pregnancy Massage
A pregnancy massage, also known as prenatal massage, is a therapeutic massage specifically designed for expectant mothers. It focuses on providing relief from the physical and emotional changes that occur during pregnancy. The massage involves gentle, soothing techniques that aim to alleviate discomforts such as back pain, swollen joints, and overall stress, while promoting relaxation and well-being. A certified therapist uses modified techniques and positions that prioritize the safety and comfort of both mother and baby.
Decreased Swelling: Promotes better circulation and lymphatic drainage, which can help reduce edema (swelling) in the legs, feet, and hands.
Improved Sleep: The relaxing effects of a pregnancy massage can help reduce insomnia and promote more restful sleep.
Stress and Anxiety Relief: Reduces cortisol levels and promotes relaxation, which can improve overall mood and reduce anxiety.
Enhanced Circulation: Increases blood flow, which helps deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to the mother and baby while reducing muscle tension.
Relief from Sciatic Nerve Pain: Provides relief from the discomfort caused by the pressure of the growing baby on the sciatic nerve, which can cause pain in the lower back and legs.
"Massage by Eve's pregnancy massage was exactly what I needed. The therapist knew how to relieve the tension in my back and hips, making me feel so much more comfortable. I left feeling relaxed and supported. A must for any mom-to-be!"
