Prenatal Massage

Massage Therapy can be very relaxing for the a pregnant mother-to-be! Practiced during the second and third trimester and lying comfortably on your side using pillows as needed, this is a great way to focus on you and your baby. Gentle to medium Swedish Massage stokes are used to relax sore aching muscles from the growing changes in your body.
