60 Minute Prenatal Massage

Service Description

Mothers receive extra focus on common problem areas associated with pregnancy. I specialize in using a blended technique of deep tissue and Swedish that addresses areas of tension while still being relaxing. Sessions may also include stretching or exercise coaching to achieve the desired goals of the mother. Positioning: I prefer the side lying method because it is the best ergonomic position, but I can also provide a pregnancy cushion (upon request) that allows the mother to lay face down, like a normal massage. I've used both positions during my own pregnancy and they are very comfortable.  ***Here's what to know before your first prenatal massage with me:   The therapist will bring a table, sheets, jojoba oil, music, and essential oils (unless asked not to). However, the therapist is happy to use any of those you provide if you would prefer.  What you need: Pillows (Either 1 standard pillow and a body pillow, or 1 pregnancy pillow). Upon request, the therapist can bring a pregnancy cushion for you to lay face down in. Please leave a clutter free space for a massage table and room for the therapist to comfortably move around it (about the size of a person laying down and making a snow angel). A standard size chair may be necessary for the therapist to sit on during the massage. The therapist requires a place to wash hands before and after the appointment with soap and a clean towel or paper towel. Please expect the therapist to arrive within 15 minutes before or after the start time depending on location of previous client and traffic. Parking must be provided: parking sticker, reimbursement for meter or garage, etc. please let the therapist know if there are specific parking instructions.  Payment: If you chose to pay in person, we are currently excepting Venmo (@TaraWilmoth) and Zelle (wellnesstara@gmail.com), which you may choose to pay before or directly after your appointment. If you wish, gratuity may be left through those payment methods as well.
