Nurturing Two Souls: The Safety & Joy of Prenatal Massage

1/21/2026

The journey of pregnancy is miraculous, but let’s be honest—it is physically demanding. Your center of gravity shifts, your lower back aches, and your feet swell. You are doing the hard work of building a life. Prenatal massage is not just a luxury; I believe it is essential care. In my studio, I use specific positioning (side-lying with plenty of pillows) to ensure you and the baby are perfectly safe and comfortable. **Why Book a Session?** 1. **Circulation:** We gently help move fluids, reducing that uncomfortable swelling in the ankles and legs. 2. **Sciatic Relief:** As the baby grows, pressure on the sciatic nerve increases. Gentle gluteal work can provide immense relief. 3. **Connection:** When you relax, your cortisol (stress hormone) drops, and your "feel-good" hormones rise. Your baby feels this shift too. This is a safe space to just *be*, without having to carry the weight of the world (or the bump) for an hour.
