Prenatal massage is generally safe and beneficial throughout pregnancy. I have specialized training in prenatal massage techniques and will discuss your health history before we begin. If you have any high-risk conditions or concerns such as pre-eclampsia or history of blood clots, I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider first.

I use the Oakworks Side Lying Positioning System, which allows for comfortable side-lying or semi-reclined positions as your pregnancy progresses. This system provides excellent support for your body and belly. If your body and belly size allow and you prefer it, I can also use traditional prone or supine positioning. We'll discuss what feels most comfortable for you during your session.

Absolutely. Your privacy and comfort are my top priorities. You'll undress in private before the session begins, and you'll remain covered by a sheet or blanket throughout the entire massage. I only undrape one specific area at a time to work on it, while keeping all private areas covered at all times.Most clients choose to be fully undressed or wear just underwear under the sheet, but you can always choose to wear more. While skin-on-skin contact is ideal for most techniques, I can always work over clothes or above the sheet for any area if you prefer. For belly massage, I use a towel to cover your breast tissue while undraping down to your belly, creating a nurturing space to connect with both you and baby.

Yes! You are welcome here at any stage of your pregnancy. We'll discuss the best positioning for your body at the time of your treatment and ensure you feel completely supported and comfortable.

Yes! Postpartum massage is wonderful for your recovery and wellbeing after birth. The side-lying or semi-reclined bolstering setup is available to use during your fourth trimester as your body readjusts. You are also welcome to bring your newborn with you for your postpartum massage session. I understand the realities of new parenthood and want to make it as easy as possible for you to receive the care you deserve.

You may feel deeply relaxed, calm, and perhaps even a bit drowsy as your nervous system settles into rest mode. Many pregnant clients notice reduced swelling, less muscle tension, and an overall sense of wellbeing after their session. I recommend hydrating well post-treatment, as water supports your body and baby. Allow yourself to ease back into your day and enjoy the nurturing effects of your session. This is a beautiful opportunity to honor the incredible work your body is doing.
