 You have tried for months (or years!) to get to this point. You are finally pregnant and are looking forward to the arrival of your new little one. Pregnancy is an exciting time for many. We plan and arrange and get ready in any way we can for this amazing little bundle. Often the process can be stressful, or uncomfortable, or down right painful! Prenatal massage is a great way to help the process go just a little smoother for mom (and baby!).
Your body is changing at a rapid pace as you grow a whole new person. Your blood supply increases drastically and can lead to swelling, nose bleeds, and headaches. Your ligaments loosen contributing to hip, ankle, knee, and even pelvic pain. Your center of gravity changes contributing to back and hip pain. And let’s not even go there with the weight gain! Yikes! If you are like me, you are looking for alternatives to medication when dealing with all the fun side effects of being pregnant. Massage can be a great option during pregnancy and has so many benefits. During our prenatal massages, once you are uncomfortable lying on your stomach or back (typically between 12-20 weeks), we will have you laying on your side throughout the massage. We use pillows, lots and lots of pillows to make sure you are comfortable and safe throughout your session. In this position, we have great access to your back, hips, and feet (all common problem areas when you are pregnant). We can still reach all areas of your body that you may want worked on, and will typically work the full body in an hour unless you have special requests otherwise. Pregnancy can be a stressful time, but is also so amazing and full of joy and excitement. Take a few minutes for yourself and schedule a massage. The baby also gets the stress reducing benefits of the massage, and who doesn’t want a calmer, more peaceful infant!
