Prenatal massage, popularly known as pregnancy massage, is primarily done to help reduce aches and pains during pregnancy. However, pregnant women should exercise caution because, despite its benefits, it comes with certain risks and may not be suitable for all pregnancies and all pregnant people. Please consult your OBGYN before making an appointment.

One of the major reasons why prenatal massage is different from other types of massages is because of the patient’s positioning. Pregnant women need to maintain certain positions during different stages of their pregnancy journey.
Prenatal massages require the pregnant women to lie on their side rather than the back or stomach, especially when the pregnancy is in its latest stages. Additionally, pillows, padding, and bolsters may be used to support knees, back, and feet. In some instances, the massage therapist may request the client to sit in an upright position or a semi-reclining position to make it easier for them.

The most popular technique used by massage therapists is effleurage. This is a long gliding stroke often applied during Swedish massage. It can also be used when controlling pain during labor contractions.
The massage therapist will apply deep pressure in specific areas away from the belly, such as on the hands and shoulders. For instance, your massage therapist is likely to use a different technique, avoiding the rocking technique, if you suffer from morning sickness. Therefore, it is always a great idea to discuss your pregnancy experience with the therapist before booking a massage session.

Prenatal massage benefits include but are not limited to the following:
Help with Pain Relief
Pregnancy can be uncomfortable and sometimes certain body parts can feel painful. As the abdomen grows, one’s posture changes to align with the point of gravity. Sometimes, this results in pain around the back, feet, pelvis, neck, shoulders, and sometimes the sciatic nerve. Professional prenatal massages can help these kinds of pain.May Reduce Swelling
Some women suffer from fluid build-up during pregnancy. This condition is known as edema and is perfectly normal. When the uterus grows, more pressure is exerted on the legs and feet, leading to swelling. Prenatal massage can help ease such swelling.Promotes Better Sleep
Pregnant women struggle with sleep due to various reasons. These reasons include stress, anxiety, and physical discomfort. Proper massage may help minimize or completely eliminate insomnia during pregnancy.May Reduce Stress and Promote Relaxation
Prenatal massage helps boost mood, which in turn supports stress reduction. When a pregnant woman is less stressed, she is likely to be more relaxed and have less anxiety.

“I cannot recommend Vanessa enough! After I had my son, my body was a bit of a wreck. A friend recommended that I see her for a massage, and I was absolutely blown away. Vanessa listened to what had been bothering me and worked out so many tension issues I hadn’t even realized were causing problems. She is incredibly talented and so lovely. I send everyone I can her way because I know they will be in good hands. Thank you, Vanessa!”

“Vanessa brings a focus and an expertise to her work that I’ve rarely encountered in a massage therapist. Before the visit, my upper body was tight and my arm’s movement was limited. However, after an hour and a half with Vanessa my body felt light and tension free. Immediately I saw the change in my posture. Additionally, she took care of every detail of the session for me to fully enjoy it and relax. I highly recommend Vanessa to everyone.”
Aleksandra Z.
“Vanessa has magic hands! Both me and my husband had the opportunity to have a massage with Vanessa. I prefer a lighter Swedish massage and my husband loves deep tissue and she did an amazing job with both of us. She was professional, room was spotless and relaxing and she listens to her clients to ensure she is working on their trouble spots! Highly recommend!!!”

“Now for the best part…. the massage. AHHHHHHHHHHH! I have gotten massages globally and this was definitely in the top 10. Vanessa, my masseuse, was knowledgeable about my injury (i have a sore shoulder) and I walked out of there not only relaxed, but had more movement in my shoulder. A day later i am still feeling the positive effects of her work. (THANK YOU Vanessa!).”

“Vanessa is well, in my opinion the best. I have been a customer of hers for years and she was finally able to get me to try the cupping massage. I have to say that it has changed the game for me. I carry all of my stress in my upper back (mostly shoulders) and I always feel so much better after a session with Vanessa. She is simply the best – I highly recommend her at the risk of folks running in to see her and shutting me out of an appointment. Love you Vanessa!”

“Cannot speak highly enough about Vanessa and the 90 minute Untie the Knot. She is amazing. I am someone whose back seems like it’s made out of brick, and she knows exactly how to work things out. I feel like every time I go I learn about some new muscle I didn’t realize was sore until she pointed it out. And she will give advice on exercises and things you can do to help in between treatments. My favorite massage therapist in NYC.”
Angela M.
“Vanessa was very professional. Seemed like a medical massage. Very targeted towards problem areas and really listened to my concerns. She asked me if I wanted to avoid getting oil in my hair–how cool is that. She washed her hands after touching my feet–awesome. She even made me a mimosa. And I got to sit by a fire with my cocktail–the old location didn’t have THAT.”
