Frequently Asked Questions

During your first pregnancy massage, we'll start with a detailed consultation about your pregnancy, any discomforts you're experiencing, and your healthcare provider's recommendations. We'll use specialized positioning (side-lying or semi-reclined) and pregnancy pillows for your comfort. The massage will be gentle and focused on areas that commonly experience tension during pregnancy.

For optimal benefits during pregnancy, we recommend monthly sessions in the first trimester, bi-weekly in the second trimester, and weekly sessions in the third trimester as your body experiences more changes and discomfort. However, we'll work with you to create a schedule that fits your needs and comfort level.
