Is Pregnancy Massage Safe?
Yes - when performed by a trained prenatal therapist, pregnancy massage is safe throughout all three trimesters. Our therapists are certified in prenatal techniques and use specialized bolsters and positioning. We recommend consulting your OB or midwife before your first prenatal session if you have a high-risk pregnancy.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
You'll be positioned comfortably using supportive bolsters and pillows designed for pregnancy — typically side-lying rather than face-down, so there's no pressure on your belly. Your therapist will check in about which areas feel tight or uncomfortable and adjust pressure to something gentle and safe throughout. Sessions run 60 or 90 minutes, and it's completely normal to need a bathroom break or position change partway through — just say so.
We're located in Redmond, WA, and our therapists are trained specifically in prenatal technique, so they know which areas and positions to avoid at each stage of pregnancy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How early in pregnancy can I get a massage?
Many therapists prefer to wait until after the first trimester, and we recommend checking with your OB or midwife first, especially if you have a high-risk pregnancy. Once you're cleared, we're happy to schedule you.
Will I lie on my stomach?
No. We use side-lying positioning with supportive bolsters throughout your session, so there's never pressure on your belly.
Is deep pressure safe during pregnancy?
We generally keep pressure gentle to moderate and avoid certain pressure points that aren't recommended during pregnancy. If you're used to firmer massage, let your therapist know — they'll explain what's appropriate for your stage.
Can prenatal massage help with swelling in my feet and ankles?
Many clients find it helpful for everyday pregnancy swelling. If you notice sudden or severe swelling, please mention it to your doctor first, as that can sometimes signal something that needs medical attention.
Do you offer massage after the baby arrives too?
Yes — take a look at our postpartum massage, designed to support recovery in the weeks and months after delivery.
