Prenatal Massage
Pregnancy brings incredible changes to the body. As your baby grows, you may experience back pain, hip discomfort, swollen feet, leg cramps, and increased muscle tension. Prenatal Massage is designed specifically for expecting mothers to help reduce discomfort, promote relaxation, and support overall wellness throughout pregnancy.
At Lavender Massage, each prenatal session is tailored to your stage of pregnancy and comfort level. Special positioning and supportive cushions are used to help you relax safely while relieving the aches and stresses that often accompany pregnancy.

Benefits of Prenatal Massage
Relieves Back, Hip, and Pelvic Pain
As your center of gravity shifts during pregnancy, additional stress is placed on the lower back, hips, and pelvis. Prenatal massage can help reduce muscle tension and improve comfort.
Reduces Neck and Shoulder Tension
Changes in posture and increased breast weight can create tightness in the upper body. Massage helps ease tension and improve mobility.
Helps Reduce Swelling
Gentle massage techniques may encourage healthy circulation and help reduce mild swelling in the feet, ankles, and legs.
Promotes Better Sleep
Many pregnant women struggle with sleep disturbances. Massage encourages relaxation and may help improve sleep quality.
Reduces Stress and Anxiety
Pregnancy can be physically and emotionally demanding. Prenatal massage provides a calming environment to help reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being.
Supports Overall Wellness
Regular prenatal massage can help maintain flexibility, improve circulation, and provide relief from the everyday discomforts of pregnancy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Prenatal massage is generally considered safe for healthy pregnancies when performed by a trained therapist using appropriate techniques and positioning.
However, every pregnancy is unique. If you have concerns or a high-risk pregnancy, please consult your healthcare provider before scheduling.
Lavender Massage welcomes clients in their second and third trimesters.
For first-time pregnancies during the first trimester, we require a doctor's note or written approval from your healthcare provider before scheduling a prenatal massage. This policy is in place to help ensure the safety and well-being of both mother and baby.
Once you have entered your second or third trimester, a doctor's note is no longer required for healthy pregnancies unless otherwise recommended by your healthcare provider.
If you have a high-risk pregnancy or any medical concerns, we encourage you to consult with your healthcare provider before booking your appointment.
