MASSAGE PRÉNATAL

PRENATAL MASSAGE

Prenatal massage is a treatment specifically designed to support the physical and emotional transformations of pregnancy.

It is generally practiced from the fourth to the ninth month, respecting the physiological needs of the expectant mother.

This massage aims to support the balance of the three doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) and to promote harmony between the body, mind and the emerging relationship between mother and baby.

The treatment is performed without essential oils, using only gentle vegetable oils such as sesame, coconut or sunflower oil, suitable for the sensitivity of pregnant women.

The session takes place mainly in a lateral position (fetal position) as well as on the back when possible, the body being carefully supported and adjusted with cushions to ensure comfort and safety.

This massage is characterized by a soft, enveloping and reassuring touch, creating a space of deep relaxation for the expectant mother.
