Massage Services

Prenatal

Pregnancy massage is preformed on a standard massage table with the mother in a side-lying position, surrounded by soft pillows. There is no table with a “hole” in it and you will not be situated face-down. A semi-reclining position is also used with a special foam wedge after about 22 weeks, to support the mother in a comfortable and safe manner. Massage is always available at any time during the pre & postnatal period. However, because of hormonal changes and physical discomfort during the first trimester, it is recommended to start massage during the 4th month and be seen more frequently as you get closer to the due date—to prepare yourself for labor & delivery. As always, ask your doctor or midwife if massage therapy is right for you. If you are experiencing a high-risk pregnancy, please bring in a written physician’s release before your appointment.

Postnatal

Postpartum massage is available as soon as the mother feels ready.   For some, it is the first week, for others, it takes a few months.   The postnatal massage session is just as different as the woman coming in. Post-natally, come in to receive restorative massages that will concentrate on the muscles most used during labor and delivery to ease you into motherhood, with the rest and rejuvenation your body needs.      

Non-pregnant Clients

Women of all ages, whether they are a parent or not, are part of the circle of Motherhood. Every Mother Massage welcomes all women for massage therapy services and packages. Fathers, husbands, partners and boyfriends are welcome by direct referral only, by a past or current client.

Post-Cesarean or Post-Op

Post-Cesarean clients are accommodated with pillows and adjustments to keep you comfortable during gentle massage. Likewise, most Post-Operation patients can receive massage.   All MUST get a written physician's release before their appointment.
