Prenatal Massage
Pregnancy is beautiful — but it can also be exhausting. The back pain, swollen feet, restless nights, and constant changes to your body take a toll. If you're searching for prenatal massage in Pacific Grove, Monterey, or Carmel, you deserve care that's gentle, safe, and designed specifically for your changing body. At Selina's Therapy Center, we provide nurturing, expert prenatal bodywork to help you feel more comfortable, relaxed, and supported throughout your pregnancy journey
Prenatal massage is a specialized form of therapeutic bodywork designed specifically for pregnant individuals. It focuses on the unique needs and changes a woman’s body experiences during pregnancy. Using gentle, safe techniques and modified positioning (often side-lying or with special cushioning), prenatal massage helps ease the physical discomforts and emotional stress that often accompany pregnancy.
