What is Prenatal Massage?

At Massage Lymphatic Care, we believe every expecting mother deserves to feel nurtured, supported, and empowered throughout her pregnancy journey. Our Prenatal Massage is thoughtfully designed for women in their second and third trimesters, focusing on your comfort, safety, and well-being as your body transforms to welcome new life.

Prenatal massage at Massage Lymphatic Care uses gentle Swedish techniques to ease the unique discomforts of pregnancy—soothing muscle aches, relieving joint pain, and calming the mind. Our approach is rooted in compassion and expertise, helping you embrace this special time with greater ease and confidence.

Your comfort is our priority. During your session, you’ll be positioned with supportive pillows and bolsters, allowing you to fully relax while we address areas most affected by pregnancy—like your lower back, hips, and legs. Our therapists use light, flowing strokes to encourage circulation, reduce swelling, and melt away tension, all while honoring the changes your body is experiencing.

We tailor every session to your needs, ensuring a safe and soothing experience that nurtures both you and your baby.
