60‑Minute Prenatal Massage

A 60‑minute prenatal massage is ideal when you want focused relief from pregnancy‑related discomforts while still giving your nervous system time to deeply relax. Research in pregnant women shows that massage therapy can reduce back and leg pain, lower anxiety and depressive symptoms, and decrease cortisol (a key stress hormone) compared with standard prenatal care alone. Regular sessions over several weeks have also been associated with improved sleep and overall pregnancy comfort. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2870995/

In this 60‑minute session, you are positioned side‑lying and semi‑reclined with supportive bolstering to keep you and your baby comfortable. Work is typically concentrated on the lower back, hips and pelvis, legs, feet, and the upper back and shoulders—areas that most often carry strain during pregnancy. Studies of low‑back massage and structured prenatal massage programs have documented meaningful reductions in perceived pain and better functional mobility in pregnant participants receiving massage. Gentle, rhythmic techniques help calm the nervous system and support more restorative rest, which many expectant parents report as a key benefit of massage in the second and third trimesters. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8396946/
