Prenatal massages are not so different from the signature blended massages. Specific techniques get avoided for safety purposes. Throughout the session, we can adjust the pressure & position to the client's comfort with a specialized table & and cushions. This service is for all trimesters. Select the fusion massage when booking. The session will still get modified for prenatal. 

 

Always consult your doctor or midwife first before receiving a prenatal massage. Uncontrolled pregnancy complications like preeclampsia or gestational diabetes can be worsened by massage. Because of an increased risk for Deep vein thrombosis (blood clots) during pregnancy, calf, bicep, and inner thigh massage is applied lightly or skipped.

MYTHS: 

"Massage therapy is not safe during the first trimester." 

Here are the facts: Eighty percent of miscarriages occur during the first trimester. There is no evidence that massages can cause one. Also, many pregnant people do not even know they are expecting until they're further along. 

​

"Massage therapy can induce labor with acupressure points."

Again, there is no evidence to support this. From my personal experience, I went to receive "inducing" adjustments and massages. I was still a week late.
