Prenatal Massage in Cumming, GA

Safe, Nurturing Care During Pregnancy at Divine Spa in Cumming, GA

Pregnancy brings incredible joy — and significant physical demands on the body. Our prenatal massage is designed specifically for expecting mothers, using side-lying positioning, supportive bolstering, and gentle techniques that are safe and deeply relieving for the unique discomforts of pregnancy. This is a nurturing, restorative treatment for both body and mind during one of life's most transformative chapters.

Who this is for

Prenatal massage is appropriate for clients in their second or third trimester who have received clearance from their OB or midwife. It is particularly beneficial for those experiencing back pain and sciatica, hip and pelvic discomfort, swollen ankles and legs, tension headaches, poor sleep, or general fatigue and stress associated with pregnancy.

The Treatment Process

You will be positioned on your side with supportive pillows and bolsters for maximum comfort and safety. Your therapist uses gentle Swedish techniques — long strokes, light kneading, and careful pressure — adapted for the specific needs and sensitivities of pregnancy. Focus areas commonly include the lower back, hips, legs, and shoulders.

Certain areas are avoided entirely during prenatal massage for safety. The session is deeply relaxing and tailored to make you feel as supported and comfortable as possible.

  • Obtain written or verbal clearance from your OB-GYN or midwife before scheduling

POST-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Drink plenty of water after your session
  • Rest as much as possible after your massage — allow your body to fully receive the benefits
  • Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unusual symptoms after treatment
  • Schedule your next session to maintain the cumulative benefits throughout your pregnancy
