Heartbeats. Pre & Post Natal Care

“Heartbeats” offers thoughtfully designed Massage Therapy treatments to support your comfort and individual needs throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Prenatal and Postnatal Massage Therapy is provided by our Registered Massage Therapists and adapted to the changing needs of pregnancy and the postpartum period. Your RMT will discuss your stage of pregnancy or postpartum recovery, comfort, areas of concern, and treatment goals before beginning. Positioning, pressure, techniques, and areas of focus can be adjusted throughout the treatment based on your individual needs and comfort.

Our RMTs may incorporate different Massage Therapy techniques into a prenatal or postnatal treatment based on their education, training, experience, competence, and scope of practice. Not every treatment or technique is offered by every RMT. Supportive positioning, including the use of Prego pillows and adjustable treatment tables, may be incorporated to help you remain comfortable during your treatment. Your RMT will discuss the treatment options available to you and determine an appropriate approach based on your individual needs.
