What clients say
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
No, I don't. Everyone’s pregnant belly is a different shape and size therefore, there is no “one size fits all” hole! Also, having the weight of your baby pulling down on your lower back while you are lying face down is not a good thing.
I work with you side-lying and supine (face up), propped up with extra pillows.
Answer: I do not require a doctor's note if you are having a normal pregnancy. For high-risk pregnancies a doctors note should be obtained.
No. I have provided many women with wonderful massages during their first trimester. I know the areas on the pregnant body to avoid and I do not work deep during this time. My massages are tailored to the client’s needs. There have been sessions I have spent working only on a client’s hands, feet, neck and arms. It depends what the client needs and what is discussed before the session starts.
You may undress to your comfort level. I work on a massage table with two sheets which you will be laying between (like your in bed.)
At no time will you be exposed and I am very aware of draping my clients properly so they feel warm and secure.
The only part of your body that will be exposed is the part that I am working on.
I can easily do my work while you have your baby on the table with you. I have done this for years with my Postpartum clients and they love it. It’s less stressful for everyone- you can relax and nurse, I can continue working, and your baby can have a full belly and be happy! 🙂
This is the BEST time to get a massage!! Sometimes getting a massage in early labor can relax you just enough so your body can go into fully active labor. You can go through contractions while you are the table with me assisting you (I was a Birth Doula).
Also, if you are trying to avoid induction, I can work acupressure points to aid in making the contractions stronger and more consistent.
Also, if you have a prolonged first stage labor, sometimes getting a massage can be a good distraction from just waiting around for “real” labor to start.
Tell your partner to take the kids out for an hour or two, and give yourself this time. You deserve it.
