A massage designed for your pregnancy
We work with gentle pressure and slow movements, adapted to how you're feeling that day. We focus on where the load builds up most: lower back, hips, legs and feet, plus neck and shoulders. The goal is simple: for you to leave feeling lighter and rested.
Safe positions, side-lying with cushions
Never face down, and no deep pressure on the abdomen. We position you lying on your side, with cushions between your knees and under your belly, and we switch sides halfway through the session. If anything feels uncomfortable, we adjust it right away.
From when you can come
From the second trimester, roughly week 13, until the end of the pregnancy. During the first trimester we'd rather wait. If your pregnancy is high risk or you have any doubts, check with your midwife or doctor first: we'd rather say no than do something that isn't right.
How to prepare for your visit
Bring comfortable clothes and, if you have one, your own pregnancy pillow if it helps you feel especially comfortable, though we already have cushions ready. Eat light before coming, avoid a very full stomach right before lying on your side. Tell us how many weeks along you are and if you have any specific discomfort that day: swollen feet, lower back pain, sciatica. If it's your first time with us, arrive a few minutes early so we can calmly get to know your situation before we start.
Who it's not suitable for
We don't work in the first trimester, and if your pregnancy is classified as high risk, if you have pre-eclampsia, active bleeding, or any diagnosed complication, we need explicit approval from your midwife or doctor before booking. Whenever in doubt, we'd rather say no than do something that isn't right: message us and we'll talk it through honestly.
How it's different from a deep tissue massage
The pregnancy massage uses much gentler pressure, always side-lying and never face down, without working the abdomen or points considered sensitive during pregnancy. Deep tissue uses firm pressure, face down, and isn't suitable during pregnancy. If you're after real relief from pregnancy discomfort, the pregnancy massage is the only safe option at our studio during this stage.
How often to come back
Many mums-to-be turn it into a monthly appointment from the second trimester onward, and some increase the frequency towards the end, when tiredness and swelling are more noticeable. There's nothing wrong with repeating every two or three weeks if it suits you and your midwife doesn't advise otherwise. We're in the Sagrada Família neighbourhood, easy to reach, and open every day 11:00 to 22:00.
