60-Minute Prenatal Massage

Service Description

Price shown is the full price of the session. Tips are never expected. A travel fee applies beyond a 15 minute drive of Kinnelon; the fees are listed at the end of this description. Pregnancy puts your body through extraordinary physical demands, and most of the discomfort that comes with it doesn’t have a simple fix. The lower back pain that keeps you up at night. The sciatica that flares every time you stand. The swelling in your ankles and feet. The hip pain from a pelvis that’s shifting to make room. The exhaustion that goes beyond tired. Each prenatal session combines Swedish massage, therapeutic techniques, and manual lymphatic drainage based on what your body needs that day. I adjust everything for where you are in your pregnancy; the work I do at 20 weeks is different from what I do at 36 weeks. You’ll be positioned comfortably with pillows and support so you can actually rest, which for a lot of my pregnant clients is the first real rest they’ve had in weeks. The lymphatic drainage component matters especially during pregnancy, when your body is producing significantly more fluid and your lymphatic system is working overtime. MLD helps move that fluid, reducing the puffiness and heaviness that so many pregnant women just accept as inevitable. It is common. That doesn’t mean you have to suffer through it. Also offering postpartum massage for new moms, because the work doesn’t end at delivery. This session comes to you. I bring the table, fresh linens, and everything else; you provide a quiet room with roughly seven by ten feet of clear floor and a door that closes. Travel is included within a 15-minute drive of Kinnelon. From 15 to 30 minutes, a $25 travel fee is added. From 30 to 45 minutes, the fee is $50 and sessions are booked at 90 minutes or longer. Beyond 45 minutes, the fee is $75, also with a 90-minute minimum, and I confirm availability before you book. Drive times are figured with typical traffic.
