PrenatalAND POSTNATAL Massage for Mothers

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it often comes with physical discomfort, joint pain, and stress. Similarly, the postpartum phase brings challenges as your body recovers and adjusts. Our specialized prenatal and postnatal massage services in Toronto provide expert massage therapy to help you relax, relieve tension, and support your well-being during these critical stages. Whether you’re an expecting mother or navigating life after childbirth, our expert prenatal massage treatments offer the care and comfort you deserve.

What to Expect During Your Prenatal Massage

When you arrive for your prenatal or postnatal massage, your experience will be tailored to your specific needs:

• Consultation – Your session begins with a quick discussion about your current pregnancy stage or postpartum recovery, joint pain, discomfort areas, and specific concerns.

• Safe and Comfortable Positioning – You will be positioned to ensure complete safety and relaxation using supportive pillows and cushions. For prenatal massage treatments, we avoid placing pressure on the abdomen and ensure a side-lying or semi-reclined position.

• Gentle and Customized Techniques – Our experienced therapists use specialized massage therapy techniques designed for pre and post-natal care, focusing on areas such as the lower back, hips, legs, and shoulders.

• Calming Atmosphere – Soft lighting, a peaceful setting, and mindful care create a relaxing experience that renews you.

Each session typically lasts 60 minutes, offering plenty of time to focus on your needs while encouraging total relaxation.
