Yes when performed by a licensed prenatal massage therapist familiar with pregnancy adaptations. We use side-lying positioning, gentle techniques, and avoid unsafe pressure points. Always consult your obstetrician if you have complications like preeclampsia, bleeding, or high-risk pregnancy prior to booking.

Clients are typically positioned on a comfortable sidelying support system with bolsters to protect the abdomen and hips. Sidelying and semi-reclined options maintain circulation and comfort while allowing therapists to safely access back, shoulders, legs, and hips.

Certain conditions like uncontrolled hypertension, active vaginal bleeding, severe preeclampsia, placenta previa, or recent thromboembolism may contraindicate massage. Inform us and your healthcare provider about any high-risk issues so we can advise modifications or reschedule for safety.

Frequency depends on comfort and medical guidance; many clients enjoy weekly to biweekly sessions during second and third trimesters. We tailor schedule recommendations based on symptoms like pain, swelling, and overall wellbeing, coordinating with your prenatal care provider as needed.

Wear whatever feels most comfortable—maternity clothes, loose garments, or undergarments. Therapists will drape appropriately and only uncover the area being worked on. If you prefer extra privacy, bring a support bra or shorts; disposable covers are also available.

Generally yes, but if you experience fever, chills, severe soreness, or feeling unwell after vaccination, wait until symptoms resolve. Inform your therapist about recent vaccines so we can adjust pressure, focus areas, and ensure comfort during the session.
