Pregnancy Massage IN-HOME

​

It’s all about you... for now! Gerda Laurel massages can be tailored for you & your bump.

Prenatal massage can be a safe way for women to get a massage during pregnancy (from 13 weeks only).

A massage for pregnancy woman's can help reduce pregnancy body aches, reduce stress, and ease muscle tension.

In the same way every baby when they arrive is unique, every pregnancy is different, with its own joys and difficulties! If you are booking a prenatal massage for yourself or for a loved one, for treatment you can book by texting me or give a call to discuss your specific situation and needs.

I know from my all beautiful pregnant clients, that a massage was not only a threat, but a necessity !

A pregnancy massage is all about creating a peaceful, relaxing ambience. The session should be at least 60 min - 90 min to allow you to fully relax and appreciate the massage.

In a word, no. Prenatal massage during a normal pregnancy is not harmful at all and supports a healthy pregnancy.

You can get a massage at any time during your pregnancy. However, if you are during your first trimester, or have had any complications in previous - or this pregnancy.

​

HELP! I’m so uncomfortable! How will I be comfortable for a whole hour on the massage table?!

During the massage, you can either lie on your side or on your back. I will use cushions, pillows and/or bolsters to support specific areas of your body - like your bump, and elevate certain areas like your legs. Communication is the name of the game here and I will check in with you throughout the session to make sure you are always comfortable and relaxed.
