Pregnancy massage can offer both physical and emotional relief during a time of rapid change. At Uplift Women’s Health Collective, our experienced remedial massage therapist offers pregnancy-safe care that supports your body, helps manage discomfort, and encourages rest and relaxation.

Whether you’re in your first or third trimester, the benefits of prenatal massage can be wide-reaching. Our approach is tailored to your needs and based on the latest research in women’s health and pregnancy care.

The benefits of prenatal massage
Prenatal massage can be a powerful form of self-care during pregnancy. Some of the most common benefits include:

• Relief from muscle tension, particularly in the neck, shoulders, lower back and hips

• Reduced swelling (oedema) in the legs, ankles and feet

• Improved circulation and lymphatic flow

• Better sleep and rest

• Reduced stress and anxiety

• A moment to reconnect with your changing body

How we support you during your massage
Your comfort and safety come first. Prenatal massages are performed in a side-lying position, supported with soft pillows under your belly and between your legs. This setup keeps you comfortable and well-supported throughout your session.

We don’t use massage tables with a cut-out hole for the belly. While they may seem appealing, current research suggests they don’t provide adequate support and can place unnecessary strain on the ligaments of the uterus—especially during a longer massage.

Our side-lying approach is evidence-informed, safe, and designed to help you truly relax at every stage of pregnancy.

A nurturing space for you
Whether you're experiencing pregnancy-related pain or simply need time to rest and recharge, prenatal massage offers a gentle and effective way to support your wellbeing. We’re here to help you feel grounded, cared for and more at home in your body.
