Prenatal & Postnatal Massage
Prenatal and postnatal massages are designed to support mothers during pregnancy and after childbirth. A prenatal, or antenatal, massage helps relieve common discomforts like back pain and swelling, promoting relaxation and reducing fatigue. Postnatal massages focus on helping new mothers recover by addressing muscle tension, improving circulation, and lowering stress hormones. Whether you’re in Chattanooga, Cleveland, or North Georgia, our experienced staff provide personalized maternity massages to enhance your comfort and well-being during this special time.
Most women can receive a postnatal massage as soon as they feel comfortable, often within the first few days after an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. For those recovering from a C-section or other complications, it’s best to wait until 6 weeks postpartum or consult with a healthcare provider first.

Absolutely. Postnatal massage can relieve muscle tension, ease joint pain, and reduce swelling—common discomforts after childbirth. It also lowers stress hormones and promotes relaxation during the postpartum recovery period.
Frequency depends on your individual needs and pregnancy stage, but many expectant mothers benefit from monthly sessions in the first trimester, increasing to biweekly or weekly massages in the second and third trimesters for optimal support.
