Pre-Natal Relaxing Massage
A gentle, therapist-guided massage tailored to your changing body — easing tense muscles, sore spots and lower back pain while helping you relax, sleep better and feel more comfortable through your pregnancy.
Why It Helps
Made for your changing body
Carrying a baby adds weight and gravity that place real stress on your back, neck, abdominal muscles and shoulders. Pregnancy also relaxes your ligaments, leaving your pelvic joints less stable, and shifts your posture as your pelvis is pulled forward — often resulting in an aching lower back.
Our certified prenatal massage therapist knows where a pregnant woman’s sore spots are likely to be, and — just as importantly — which areas and techniques to avoid. We’ll always check in on your positioning and comfort throughout the session, so you can relax fully knowing you’re in safe hands.

Common questions
Prenatal massage uses techniques and positioning adapted specifically for pregnant women, focusing on the areas most affected by pregnancy — the lower back, hips, neck and shoulders — while avoiding pressure points and positions that aren’t suitable during pregnancy. It’s gentler and more targeted than a typical relaxation massage.
Prenatal massage is generally considered safe from the second trimester onwards, with technique and positioning adjusted as your pregnancy progresses. If you’re in your first trimester or have a high-risk pregnancy, please let us know beforehand so we can advise accordingly, and always check with your doctor if you have any concerns.
You’ll typically be positioned on your side with supportive cushions, or semi-reclined, rather than lying flat on your back or stomach. Our therapist will adjust your positioning throughout the session based on your comfort and stage of pregnancy.
Yes. Many pregnant women experience lower back pain as posture shifts and ligaments loosen, along with tension headaches from added strain on the neck and shoulders. Prenatal massage targets these areas directly, easing tightness and improving circulation for lasting relief.
This depends on how you’re feeling and what you’re experiencing. Some mums-to-be book a session every two to four weeks for general relaxation, while others with persistent back pain or sleep issues prefer more regular sessions. Message Gladys with your symptoms and stage of pregnancy for a personal recommendation.
If you have a high-risk pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, are experiencing bleeding, or have been advised bed rest, please consult your doctor before booking. Always let your therapist know about any pregnancy complications, discomfort or pain so the session can be adapted safely to you.
