Prenatal Massage
Nurturing care for expecting mothers in their second and third trimester
Pregnancy brings profound changes to your body — and with those changes often come aches, swelling, fatigue, and tension that can make carrying new life feel overwhelming. Roberto's prenatal massage is specifically adapted to support expecting mothers through these changes with safe, effective, and deeply comforting care.
Using techniques carefully adapted for pregnancy, Roberto addresses the most common discomforts: lower back and hip pain from the shifting center of gravity, leg cramps and swelling from increased blood volume, upper back and shoulder tension from postural changes, and the emotional strain that often accompanies pregnancy. Every session is tailored to where you are in your pregnancy and what your body needs most.
You will be comfortably positioned and fully supported with pillows throughout the session. Roberto's gentle but purposeful approach creates a space where you can truly let go — perhaps the first time in weeks you've been able to fully relax.
Benefits
What Prenatal Massage Can Do for You
Back & Hip Pain Relief
Address the lower back and hip pain that commonly develops as your center of gravity shifts and ligaments loosen during pregnancy.
Reduced Swelling
Improve circulation and lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling in the legs, feet, and ankles common during the second and third trimester.
Better Sleep
Deep relaxation after a prenatal massage promotes longer, more restful sleep — something that becomes increasingly precious as your due date approaches.
Stress & Anxiety Relief
Lower cortisol and stress hormone levels while increasing serotonin and dopamine, supporting your emotional wellbeing throughout pregnancy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is prenatal massage safe during pregnancy?
Prenatal massage is safe and beneficial for expecting mothers in their second and third trimester. It is not recommended during the first trimester. Roberto is trained in prenatal techniques that are adapted specifically for the physiological changes of pregnancy.
Can I get a massage in my first trimester?
We do not perform prenatal massage during the first trimester (weeks 1–12). The risk of miscarriage is highest during this period, and many therapists and healthcare providers advise waiting until the second trimester. Please consult your OB or midwife if you have any concerns.
What position will I be in during the massage?
For most of the session you will be comfortably positioned on your side with supportive pillows. Roberto will ensure you are fully supported and comfortable throughout, never placing pressure on your abdomen.
What are the benefits of prenatal massage?
Prenatal massage can reduce back pain, hip pain, and swelling; improve sleep quality; lower stress hormones and anxiety; ease sciatic nerve discomfort; and promote overall relaxation during what can be a physically demanding time.
Should I get clearance from my doctor first?
While prenatal massage is generally considered safe for low-risk pregnancies, it is always a good idea to let your healthcare provider know you are receiving massage. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, preeclampsia, or other complications, please consult your doctor before booking.
