Pregnancy Massage

Our Pure Mama pregnancy massage is completely safe and our massage therapist will discuss your medical history before your first massage. We use gentle, yet effective pressure to ease discomfort and tension during pregnancy. Our massage therapist will enquire on the pressure, and you may request to adjust it according to your needs.

You may have heard that massage is discouraged in your first trimester, due to the increased risk of miscarriage. From a physiological perspective, your uterus is protected by your pelvis, and massage is not a concern. However, we still encourage massage from 12 weeks, onwards, as many women feel to concerned in those beginning weeks. If you have concerns, please discuss these with your health practitioner. If you have a high risk pregnancy, or have any conditions that you may be concerned about, then please seek written clearance from your health practitioner. In some cases, we may be unable to massage due o contraindications. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or need any guidance.

A mama can get a pregnancy massage at any stage of her pregnancy, including the fourth trimester or postpartum. However, due to most women’s concerns around miscarriage in their first trimester, we encourage massage from 12 weeks, onwards, right up until the end of your third trimester. Please keep us informed of any changes throughout your pregnancy, so that we can ensure we continue to tailor the massage to your needs. We recommend monthly massages during your second trimester and either bi-weekly or weekly massages in your third trimester.

We encourage massage in your fourth trimester or postpartum, supporting your body’s healing journey. You may feel ready within a few days or a week after a vaginal delivery. However, we recommend a few weeks after cesarean births to allow the incision to heal and avoid any discomfort. You may ask your health practitioner for further guidance here. Pure Mama postpartum massage is not customised to these births, but we prioritise your comfort and ensure that we are using the most personalised techniques to cater to your specific needs.

Your Pure Mama Pregnancy massage is conducted in the side lying position on the massage table, and you will be draped with linen for modesty. However, if you are under twenty weeks, you may prefer to lie on your belly, and you are welcome to let us know your personal preference. To assist in your comfort, we support you with lots of cushioning, using eco-friendly, organic pillows and bolsters so that your body doesn’t feel strained.

Your massage aims to release tension on your back, neck and shoulders, arms and hands, legs and feet. In our 90-minute Pure Mama Pregnancy Massage, our massage therapist will ask you prior to your treatment whether or not you wish for your belly to be touched.
