Pregnancy is a magical and marvelous time. Your body is doing unbelievable things, like increasing forgetfulness from the cocktail of hormones flowing through you, elevating your blood volume up to 50% and, of course — growing a tiny person in just nine months!
Pregnancy can also be a challenging time for your body. There will be the added emotional stresses and difficulty in coping with things that once weren’t so hard (thanks, hormones – pass the tissues, please). However, with all of the extra pressures and tensions that come with the delight of this time, treating yourself to a lovely pregnancy massage can be a fantastic way to remove stress and experience some much-needed relaxation.
Is massage safe during pregnancy?
Absolutely. This kind of pregnancy relaxation technique offers excellent health benefits and improves wellbeing. However, it is not suitable for the first trimester.
Contrary to common myths, a pregnancy massage is completely safe after the first trimester and can enhance your well-being and your baby’s too! You might have reservations about whether it is something that can be enjoyed by pregnant ladies as you’re not able to lay on your stomach in the later stages of pregnancy, and you might not like the idea that there could be pressure placed on your stomach area, but rest assured it is completely safe and we are professionals who have brought relief and relaxation to hundreds of mothers like you.
The great news? There is now even more research to support you in taking a calming moment for yourself and booking a blissful pregnancy massage!

What to expect from a pregnancy massage?
During your prenatal massage, your circulation will be stimulated with an aromatherapy full-body massage. These flowing techniques ease swelling and tension and relax the body and mind. We take extra care not to press too hard on your stomach area, but instead work around the area to give you a feeling of intense relaxation. We use a special combination of oils for our pregnancy massages in Perth to allow you to fully unwind and forget about the fact your feet may be swollen or your back may be aching in the later stages of pregnancy.
How to book a pregnancy massage?
If you are unsure about where you’re at in your journey, please speak with your doctor for professional advice for your circumstances. Most of our pregnancy massages are booked in by the mothers themselves, but if you’re a father out there looking to give your better half an experience that they will really be appreciative of then join the many other dads-to-be who have booked this special treat for their partners.
With everything that comes with pregnancy, from the growth of their stomach to the pressure on their bladder, sometimes all pregnant women need is a little time to themselves to be taken care of by a professional pair of healing hands and forget about everything they need to do and buy for the arrival of their bundle of joy.
We look forward to enhancing your wonderful pregnancy experience — book now!
