Pregnancy massage is a gentle, therapeutic approach to easing the physical strain of pregnancy—whether you’re dealing with back pain, hip discomfort, swelling, or poor sleep. Our massage therapists are trained in prenatal techniques and adjust each session to your trimester, body position, and any pregnancy-related concerns. With a focus on relaxation and pain relief, pregnancy massage can also support circulation, reduce stress, and help you feel more at ease as your body changes week by week.
