Prenatal Massage
Specialized massage therapy for expectant mothers addresses common discomforts like back pain, swelling, and insomnia. Our certified therapists use orthopedic cushions for safe face-down positioning. Sessions improve circulation, reduce stress hormones, and enhance overall comfort throughout all pregnancy stages.
Postpartum Massage
Recovery-focused treatments for new mothers help restore physical well-being after childbirth. Adjustable cushions accommodate nursing needs while addressing postpartum aches. Recommended within first week through 16 weeks postpartum to support healing and stress reduction during early motherhood transition.
Labor Stimulation Massage
Targeted therapy combining acupressure, reflexology, and essential oils to prepare bodies for labor. Techniques promote relaxation while stimulating uterine activity naturally. Sessions focus on hips, lower back, and specific pressure points associated with labor induction.
Standard Massage
Full-body therapeutic treatments for non-pregnant clients address muscle tension, stress, and general wellness. Techniques adapt to individual needs, incorporating deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and relaxation methods. Safe for all clients regardless of pregnancy status.
