Prenatal Massage for Expectant Mothers
At Hand & Stone, we understand that pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative experience, but it can also bring physical discomfort and stress. That’s why we offer nurturing prenatal massage therapy designed specifically for expectant mothers. This gentle treatment helps alleviate tension, reduce stress, and promote relaxation during pregnancy. Our certified massage therapists are here to ensure that you feel comfortable and cared for throughout your session, helping you enjoy this special time with greater ease and well-being.
What is Prenatal Massage?
Prenatal massage is a specialized form of therapeutic massage tailored to meet the unique needs of pregnant women. Our therapists are specially certified to perform this treatment, ensuring the highest level of safety and expertise. This massage is lighter than a traditional Swedish massage, with gentle techniques designed to relax the body, reduce muscle tension, and improve circulation without putting any strain on you or your baby.
By focusing on areas of discomfort such as the lower back, hips, and legs, prenatal massage helps relieve common pregnancy-related issues, including swelling, muscle aches, and joint pain. This treatment is not only safe but also deeply relaxing, providing expectant mothers with a much-needed opportunity to unwind and recharge.
What are the Benefits of Prenatal Massage?
Prenatal massage offers a variety of physical and emotional benefits that can make your pregnancy journey more comfortable and enjoyable. Some of the key benefits include:
- Relief from aches and pains: Pregnancy often brings discomfort in areas such as the lower back, hips, and legs. Prenatal massage helps to alleviate these aches by relaxing tense muscles and improving mobility.
- Reduced swelling: This treatment promotes better circulation, which helps reduce swelling in the hands, feet, and ankles, a common issue during pregnancy.
- Improved sleep: By reducing stress and physical discomfort, prenatal massage can improve sleep quality, helping you feel more rested and energized.
- Stress and anxiety reduction: The calming effects of massage help lower cortisol levels, promoting a sense of relaxation and emotional well-being.
- Better circulation: Improved blood flow provides essential nutrients and oxygen to both you and your baby, supporting overall health.
- Enhanced posture: By addressing muscle imbalances and tension, prenatal massage can help improve posture, reducing strain on your body as it adapts to the changes of pregnancy.
- Improved mood: Regular prenatal massage can boost your mood by promoting the release of endorphins, your body’s natural feel-good hormones.
Whether you’re looking to relieve physical discomfort, manage stress, or simply enjoy some time to yourself, prenatal massage is a wonderful way to support your body and mind during pregnancy.
What to Expect from Your Massage Therapy Session
Your first pregnancy massage session at Hand & Stone begins with a personalized consultation. During this time, your certified massage therapist will discuss any specific areas of concern, such as muscle tightness, injury, or pain, and tailor the session to your needs. If there are any areas you’d prefer to avoid or conditions that might affect your treatment, your therapist will take those into consideration, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout the session.
When you return for future visits, we’ll review any changes in your condition, preferences, or areas of focus to adjust your treatment plan accordingly. Your massage will take place in a tranquil, private room designed to enhance relaxation. Equipped with sound and lighting controls, a heated massage table, crisp linens, and a plush blanket, the room provides a serene environment where you can truly unwind.
If you have any special requests or concerns during your session, feel free to communicate them to your therapist. Our goal is to provide a personalized and relaxing experience that leaves you feeling cared for and refreshed.

Enhancements
To further customize your experience, we offer a range of massage enhancements. Consider adding hot stones or Himalayan salt stones to provide additional warmth and relaxation for your muscles. Contrast therapy, which alternates between hot and cold applications, is ideal for stimulating circulation and reducing inflammation. For a refreshing touch, a cold stone face massage can help reduce puffiness and leave you feeling revitalized. These enhancements are designed to complement your massage and provide an elevated level of care.
Additional Spa Services at Hand & Stone
Hand & Stone offers a full suite of spa services to enhance your visit. You can add a facial tailored to your skin type to refresh your complexion or opt for a professional hair removal treatment for smooth, flawless skin. To create a complete relaxation experience, consider upgrading your session with aromatherapy, where soothing essential oils enhance your massage and promote a deeper sense of calm.
