Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage
Side-lying with cushioned support, gentle to medium pressure, and pregnancy-safe oils. Focused on lower back, hips, shoulders, legs and feet. Abdominal massage is avoided.
Why pregnancy massage
Pregnancy places significant physical demands on the body. As posture shifts and weight increases through the second and third trimesters, many expectant mothers experience lower back pain, hip tightness, swollen ankles, leg cramps, and disrupted sleep. Pregnancy massage offers a safe, gentle way to ease these changes, reducing muscular tension, encouraging circulation, calming the nervous system, and supporting better rest. Many clients find it one of the most deeply relaxing treatments they experience during pregnancy.
Our approach
Every pregnancy massage at Haku is performed in a supported side-lying position with cushioned bolsters, the safest and most comfortable position for expectant mothers from the second trimester onwards. We use pregnancy-safe, fragrance-appropriate oils and apply gentle to medium pressure focused on the lower back, hips, shoulders, legs and feet. Abdominal massage is avoided entirely. Our therapists are trained in prenatal massage and will check in throughout the treatment.
