Prenatal massage addresses the specific needs of moms-to-be, healing and soothing bodies undergoing the dramatic changes of pregnancy. My prenatal massage is specially created for pregnant women who seek alternative approaches to complement more traditional health services. Prenatal massage can offer emotional support, nurturing a woman when she needs it most; it can reduce pregnancy discomforts such as lower back and neck pain caused by postural imbalances, muscle tension and weakness.

Prenatal massage creates a much longed-for sense of relaxation, enhancing physiological and emotional well-being and relieving stress on weight-bearing joints such as ankles, knees, hips and pelvis. This massage facilitates circulation, increasing nutrition absorption by cells while opening pathways to eliminate cellular waste.

Prenatal massage will also reduce swelling (edema) in hands, legs and feet; relieve symptoms of sciatica (pain and/or tingling in arms, wrist and hand); reduce the frequency and intensity of painful calfs cramps; relieve headache and sinus congestion. My prenatal massage is specially created for pregnant women who seek alternative approaches to complement more traditional health services. Sessions generally last for 60 to 90 minutes so that women can attand to the needs of sometimes uncooperative bodies without cutting into treatment time. (You will have time to use the bathroom or to change position as often as needed!). I incorporate into my approach a special body support system allowing pregnant women to lie comfortably on their stomachs, sides or face-up, even in the last stages of pregnancy.
