One of the fastest growing fields in preemptive therapeutic treatment has many expecting mothers feeling far more relaxed and comfortable than in years past. Prenatal massage therapy, therapeutic bodywork focusing on the special needs of a mother-to-be, offers stress relief on weight-bearing joints as well as a reduction in the swelling common to pregnant women. There are plenty of other benefits, not least of which is the nurturing touch that many women need during pregnancy.

- Relieve the nervousness, anxiety & depression associated with the hormonal changes brought about by pregnancy.
- Relieve stress on lower back, pelvis, and ankles which are not used to carrying a baby.
