Pregnancy Massage
(Pre-Natal Massage)

Massage can be very comforting during pregnancy. Your body is changing, your center of gravity is shifting, your joints are becoming looser, and of course there's additional stress. However, pregnancy does add some considerations. If you are considered high-risk, you should get a release from your doctor or obstetrician before getting massage. I will also do a few simple tests for obvious high risk conditions.

Here's what to expect:

• 1st Trimester: No abdominal work. No deep abdominal work until after delivery.
• 2nd Trimester: We'll focus on increasing your breathing capacity, treating lower back problems, and opening the pelvic floor by working hip and leg muscles. Near week 22 being face down will become uncomfortable, and we'll place you on your side instead.
• 3rd Trimester: You may need assistance getting on and off the table. We'll try to decrease stress to your legs, hips, and lower back, decrease edema, and just relax.

I recommend no more than a one hour massage during pregnancy; we'll position you comfortably and safely with lots of pillows.

Expectant and new moms probably need some Tranquility Time more than anyone!
