You’ll begin with a brief health review, then rest side-lying with supportive bolsters. Therapist focuses on back, hips, legs, and shoulders using gentle pressure, promoting relaxation while prioritizing comfort and safety throughout the 60-minute session.

We typically recommend beginning prenatal massage after the first trimester, though some clients receive treatment earlier with physician clearance. Your therapist will review risks and obtain medical approval if your pregnancy is considered high risk.

Certain conditions—such as preeclampsia, placenta previa, uncontrolled bleeding, or recent complications—may contraindicate prenatal massage. We perform a thorough intake and require physician clearance for high-risk situations before scheduling.

For uncomplicated pregnancies doctor approval is usually not required. If you have risk factors, bleeding, or medical complications, please bring written clearance; our staff will advise you based on your prenatal history.

Arrive hydrated, wear comfortable clothing, and allow time to complete a health intake. Avoid heavy meals beforehand, bring any necessary medical paperwork, and communicate comfort preferences to your therapist. We recommend a brief walk afterward.
