The essential difference with Ayurvedic pregnancy massage is its focus on preparing you for labor both emotionally and physically, while still adhering to the basic principles of massage therapy. Special attention is paid to the unique sensitivities of your body and the growing child within you. For example, we avoid placing too much pressure on areas under additional strain, such as the legs and abdomen. Additionally, your changing shape dictates how you are positioned during the massage. We may place you on your side or in a semi-reclining position, using a range of pillows and bolsters to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the session.
