Pregnancy Massage

A pregnancy massage is a traditional full body massage that relaxes  the body, stimulates circulation and calms the mind. During this  massage, we pay extra attention to common pregnancy aches such as  relieving leg cramps and low back aches. It is not recommended to have  this massage in your first trimester. 

Studies suggest that massage therapy for pregnant women might have multiple positive effects, including:  

• Lowered anxiety
• Decreased back and leg pain
• Improved sleep

In another study of pregnancy massage in depressed women, researchers found:  

• Increased levels of the “feel-good” hormones serotonin and dopamine
• Decreased levels of cortisol, an indicator of stress
• An overall improvement in mood
