Pregnancy is such a beautiful, natural process that should be enjoyable for both mom and dad. The body goes through so many physiological changes during pregnancy and massage is the most natural sought after treatment. Hips moving to accommodate the infant; the hormone relaxin released causing joint instability; as well as anxiety and stress can be reduced through massage therapy.

​Why Massage During Pregnancy?
