Service Description

Come and receive a 90-minute massage to relax your body, relieve lower back and hip pain, and being in contact with your baby. Prenatal massages help to stimulate the release of hormones associated with relaxation while decreasing those associated with stress (like cortistol and norepinephrine). It can reduce swelling and inflammation in the joints, thus reduce pain, specially in the lower back , where the pain is common with the added weight and size of the baby throwing the back out. You may lay down towards your side as cushions and pillows support you, as your body's posture and shape start to change, I will create special adjustments. Prenatal massages are generally considered safe after the first trimester, as long as you get the green light from your practitioner and you let me know you’re pregnant. But you’ll want to avoid massage during the first three months of pregnancy as it may trigger dizziness and add to morning sickness.
