Massage & Exercise Pre and Post Pregnancy

Massage & Excercise Pre and Post PregnancyPrenatal Massage – Designed specifically for the expecting mother, this treatment provides both relaxation, as well as relief from stress and tension. Massage therapy during pregnancy can enhance the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation and provide relief from mental and physical fatigue. Our therapists utilize the appropriate strokes and positioning in order to provide the best experience possible.

Post-Natal Massage - This massage is designed to focus on restoration of balance in the body by working with muscles as they readjust to pre-pregnancy positions. Helping to decrease soreness and promote healing as well as lessening the physical and structural stress of carrying and caring for a newborn child and working to calm the nervous system to provide much needed rest and relaxation.

Pre and Postnatal Pilates
Private and semi-private sessions are available.


Our semi-private 4-person Prenatal class is designed to promote good posture and spinal alignment, easing the strain and tensions involved with a changing body during pregnancy. Participants will learn to improve awareness of their bodies creating "conscientious" movement that will extend beyond the walls of the classroom.

Benefits of doing Pilates during pregnancy
The benefits of doing Pilates during pregnancy include:

  • Increasing the deep abdominal strength providing support for the weight of the baby and taking pressure off the spine
  • Increasing pelvic floor strength and greater awareness of the muscles used during childbirth
  • Improving muscle endurance especially in the "core" region including the abdomen, back, pelvic and shoulder girdles
  • Promoting relaxation through the use of flowing movements and focus on breath
