Despite the joys and miraculous wonder of pregnancy, it does go hand-in-hand with aches, pains, and general physical discomfort -- as the mother’s body adjusts and makes room for new life. Fortunately, in the hands of a certified pregnancy massage therapist, prenatal massage can help an expecting mom ease through the transition to motherhood. Following are the top 7 benefits of prenatal massage:

1. Relieve Your Pain:

Get rid of those aches and pains in your back, hips, shoulders, and neck!

2. Relax Your Muscles:

Eliminate cramps and calm down muscle spasms.

3. Lower Your Stress:

Ease away your sense of anxiety, tension, or depression.

4. Fight Your Blues:

Boost your sense of joy and mental clarity.

5. Reduce Your Swelling:

Kiss your bloating bye-bye!

6. Improve Your Labor:

Enjoy a shorter labor with a lower risk of complications

7. Nurture Your Baby:

Enhance your baby’s circulation, ease, and physical development in the womb.  

 Prenatal clients describe my sessions as "therapeutic" and my focus is a "Happy Mom and Healthy Baby!" For each trimester, our session is customized for Mom and Baby--looking towards that Special Delivery.
