What to Expect
Kris arrives at your home with a heated massage table, fresh linens, and all the supplies needed for your session. Prenatal massage requires specific positioning to keep both mother and baby safe and comfortable. Kris is trained in proper prenatal positioning and will make sure you are supported throughout the session.
The massage focuses on areas most affected by pregnancy — the lower back, hips, legs, and shoulders — using gentle to moderate pressure adapted to your stage of pregnancy and comfort level. Sessions are 60 minutes of hands-on care from start to finish. Many clients say a prenatal session is the first time in weeks they’ve truly felt able to relax — pregnancy asks a lot of your body, and this is one of the few times someone is taking care of you instead of the other way around.
