Glorious Pregnancy Massage!

Pregnancy Massage with Maria Aina

Pregnancy massage is available after the 12th week of pregnancy. For your total comfort, Maria uses the exclusive Pregnancy Body Cushion Support System which adjusts to clients of all shapes and sizes. It is a stable and comfortable support for the common side-lying position, and it also allows an unrestricted back massage while you are lying happily on your front, whichever stage you are at!

Babies are comfortably surrounded by the cushion and allowed plenty of space in the mother's body during the massage, which they often like to make good use of.

Because it is a specially designed cushion system and not a “holed table”, there are no hard edges, minimising the unpleasant sensations which could occur using other pregnancy massage techniques. With the cushions, the baby is gently hammocked and the pressure on your low back is completely eliminated.

Some recommendations for Pregnancy massage

Once you are in your second trimester, a pregnancy massage does not have to be a light or gentle treatment. Deep, firm strokes are used for tight and sore areas of the body, with great care taken around the abdominals, lower extremities, pressure points etc.

It's advisable to check with your doctor prior to getting a massage as some conditions, such as Diabetes or high blood pressure are not recommended. There are other options for treatment in these circumstances such as a relaxing head, neck, face and arm massage, or a consultation for how to relieve different types of stress during Pregnancy. For the full body Pregnancy massage some areas will get more attention and some areas will either be completely avoided or very lightly treated. This includes any points that control the uterus and cervix - Maria will always adjust your treatment to support your personal needs.
