Prenatal Care Plans

Yes, absolutely! Contrary to what many people say (including Google), yes, it is safe to receive a massage in your first trimester when you're working with experienced therapists. With us, you are in good hands! Most establishments refuse service until you're in your second trimester. We think this is a shame, especially when many women could greatly benefit during this time from the relaxation engendered by massage as well as helping to remedy pre-pregnancy tension before it compounds later in pregnancy. 

The benefits of massage are cumulative with the best results occurring over time. We recommend that you receive a session every two weeks throughout pregnancy and weekly from week 35 until birth.

Yes, deep tissue work is safe with a qualified therapist who understands pregnant anatomy. Some deep work may be necessary to achieve the muscle lengthening and release of tension that help you feel lighter, aligned, and more comfortable in your body. We never work past your comfort level, and always invite your feedback. The work should feel like pleasure on the borderline of pain at a maximum, without ever crossing the threshold into pain.

Yes, you can have your tired feet touched. While it is true that there are acupressure points in the ankle and feet that should not be held with deep pressure for a sustained period of time, you can rest assured that we know exactly where they are & how to navigate the body safely.
