Pregnancy massage is a massage that is specifically tailored for the expectant mother's needs. It helps calm the baby, improve digestive disorders, improve overall pre-natal health, improve skin condition, relieve muscle and joint aches and pains, reduce stress, tension and anxiety levels, and reduce fluid retention.

It is possible to experience a full body massage at any stage of pregnancy. Laying in a semi-reclined position throughout the massage ensures support, comfort and safety for both mother and baby. There is the option to have the back massage in a side-lying position or seated on a chair leaning over the couch.

Pregnancy massage can also incorporate aromatherapy essential oils to help relax, soothe and calm the mind and body throughout the 9 months. There is much concern over the use of essential oils in pregnancy yet there is no known or proven risk to the baby when these therapeutic oils are used in massage.
