Prenatal Massage Specialists

What We Do

Not all Massage Therapists are Created Equal.

Pregnant bodies require special handling.

There's nothing worse than being pregnant and miserable + going to a massage therapist to get some pain relief...

only to discover that the massage therapist clearly has no confidence, training, or experience with prenatal massage.

We believe pregnant women should have access to high-quality, skilled prenatal massage everywhere.

Prenatal massage therapists can make a vital difference in a woman's experience of being supported in pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

Therefore, our mission is two-fold:

1. To educate the public about the specialized training that they can and should seek out

for massage therapy for women during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery.

2. To educate and support massage therapists who specialize or want to specialize in massage therapy for

women during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery.
