Yes—our 90-minute prenatal sessions use side-lying and supported positions with bolsters and pillows. Therapists trained in prenatal body mechanics adapt pressure and strokes to ensure comfort, avoiding supine positions and any techniques contraindicated during pregnancy.

Tell your therapist about your due date, medical history, any complications, recent medications, and areas of pain or swelling. Also mention prior pregnancy issues, blood pressure concerns, or physician restrictions so we can tailor the 90-minute session safely.

Wear comfortable, loose clothing to and from the appointment; you'll undress to your comfort level and be draped throughout. We provide pillows and support; arrive hydrated and avoid a heavy meal directly before the session for maximum comfort.

Certain conditions—uncontrolled hypertension, preeclampsia, active bleeding, placenta previa, or other high-risk factors—may contraindicate prenatal massage. Always disclose medical conditions. If in doubt, obtain physician approval before booking the 90-minute treatment to ensure safety.
