What happens during a prenatal massage?
It follows a Swedish massage, with flowing strokes over the whole body, but the positioning changes. Instead of lying face down, you lie on your side with support and turn halfway through. Your certified prenatal therapist adjusts the pressure to how you feel that day.
Tell us your week
Your therapist asks how many weeks pregnant you are, how you feel and where it aches, often the lower back, hips, neck and shoulders.
Side-lying support
You lie on one side with support for the head, belly and knees, so there is no pressure on the belly.
Swedish-style massage
Back, hips, shoulders, neck and legs are massaged on one side, then you turn and the same is done on the other.
Slow finish
You sit up slowly and take a moment before standing, to avoid feeling lightheaded.
Who is prenatal massage for?
It suits expecting mothers with an uncomplicated pregnancy who feel tension in the back, hips or shoulders and want a massage positioned for their body. Spalenza offers prenatal massage after 12 weeks of pregnancy. A doctor’s note is not routinely required for a healthy, uncomplicated pregnancy, but medical clearance may be requested for a high-risk pregnancy, complications or other health concerns. Tell the front desk you are pregnant when you book.
A good fit if you
- have an uncomplicated pregnancy and your provider knows you get massage
- feel tension in the lower back, hips, neck or shoulders
- find it hard to rest and want a quiet hour positioned for pregnancy
- want a gift for someone who is expecting
Talk to your doctor first if you
- have a high-risk pregnancy, bleeding or a history of preterm labor: ask your doctor first
- have high blood pressure, preeclampsia or sudden swelling of the face, hands or legs
- have pain, warmth or swelling in one calf, or a history of blood clots
What do clients say about how Spalenza therapists adapt a massage?
We do not have a recent Google review about prenatal massage to quote yet. These recent reviews show what matters in a prenatal session: a therapist who notices sensitive areas and adjusts, and who takes time with tight muscles.
“Hands down the best massage I’ve ever had. Vora knew exactly what my body needed and was incredibly intuitive — she was careful around areas where I had injuries without me even needing to explain. You can tell she truly knows what she’s doing. I left feeling so much better and will absolutely be seeing her again. Highly recommend!”
“Faii was absolutely tremendous in providing me a 60 min Deep Massage. Long overdue and something that I need to do regularly. I left feeling great and I could tell that my muscles were appreciative!”

Questions about prenatal massage
Do I lie on my stomach?
No. Prenatal massage is done lying on your side with support, so there is no pressure on the belly.
Who does the massage?
The Spalenza booking menu states that prenatal massage is performed by a certified prenatal massage therapist.
How is it different from a regular Swedish massage?
The strokes are similar; the positioning is what changes. A 60-minute Swedish massage is $110 and is done face down and face up.
How much does it cost?
60 minutes $125, 90 minutes $160. Reference prices as of Sep 2026; the final price is confirmed at booking.
Can I add aromatherapy or hot stones?
Ask the front desk before adding extras during pregnancy. Scents can also feel stronger while pregnant, so mention any that bother you.
Is there a postpartum massage?
The online menu has no service called postpartum massage. Once your provider clears you, a Swedish massage is the gentlest regular option.
What is the cancellation policy?
Changes need 24 hours’ notice: a late cancellation or change is charged 50% of the service, and a missed appointment is charged in full, to the card that holds the booking.
