PREGNANCY (Prenatal) MASSAGE
Pregnancy massage focuses on the special needs of the mother-to be, as her body progresses through the dramatic changes of the childbirth experience - pregnancy, birth, and post-partum.
Specialized techniques are used to help relieve common discomforts of pregnancy and provide a relaxing and nurturing experience for the mother-to-be.
