The body goes through many changes during pregnancy and so should your massage.

Treatment consists of a full body Swedish relaxation massage.

You may be lying on your tummy or your side depending on what stage of pregnancy you are at.
Massage is safe during all stages of pregnancy even during the first trimester as it can help calm you, reduce stress and assist with circulation.
