Service Description: Supportive, therapeutic, and nurturing bodywork for every phase of pregnancy. Pregnancy invites profound physical and emotional transformation. This prenatal massage offers customized care to help ease discomfort, regulate stress, and support your changing body as you prepare for birth. Each session is intuitively tailored and may include a blend of Swedish, relaxation, therapeutic massage, reflexology, and craniosacral therapy. My approach draws from years of study in bodywork to address physical tension, restore balance to the nervous system, and create space for deep rest. We’ll focus on areas that need the most care—commonly the low back, hips, glutes, sacrum, and legs—and gentle belly massage can be incorporated after 20 weeks. Sessions begin with a grounding check-in and intention-setting to ensure your comfort and support. Benefits may include: • Relief from back, hip, and pelvic discomfort • Improved posture and pelvic alignment • Support in optimal baby positioning • Reduced swelling and leg cramps • Better sleep, digestion, and circulation • Hormonal balance and stress relief • A deeper connection with your baby • Gentle preparation for birth Safe for all trimesters (barring specific contraindications). Birth-prep/induction support is available beginning at 38 weeks. Mother’s Positioning: Your comfort and safety are prioritized with cushions and bolsters to support side-lying or semi-reclined positions. Contraindications: Prenatal massage is not recommended: • During high-risk pregnancies without medical clearance • With preeclampsia or uncontrolled high blood pressure • If experiencing bleeding or placenta previa • When experiencing infections, fever, or contagious illness • With deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or blood clotting disorders • If you have recently had surgery or are experiencing severe swelling or pain—please consult your provider
