Therapeutic pregnancy massage Pregnancy massage focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be, as her body
progresses through the dramatic changes of the childbirth experience — pregnancy,
birth, and post-partum. Postpartum therapy Postpartum massage is designed to help restore the body to its pre-pregnancy
condition and to address the stress of carrying and caring for a newborn. It can speed recovery by bringing relief to sore muscles and helping the mother to relax. Abdominal massage can help shrink the uterus and relieve subcutaneous scar tissue. We teach infant massage techniques for Moms New mothers / parents learn nurturing touch therapy for infants. A wonderful way to enrich your child's new life and enhance your relationship. Benefits of pregnancy massage

What is massage therapy? Massage is an ancient form of healing, pain management and stress relief. The Chinese
practiced it more than 3000 years ago, and it has been used continually since then.
Massage is the manipulation of the soft body tissue — muscles, connective tissue
and the largest organ — skin. Today there are many modalities of bodywork
and massage: Swedish, deep tissue, reflexology, just to name a few.

Your comfort and safety 
The comfort and safety of you and your 
child are of the utmost concern at all 
times during a massage session. You
will be comfortably supported in a semi-
reclined or side-lying position using the
BodyCushion™ and various pillows for 
proper support during pregnancy.

Our therapists
Our therapists have passed a written 
and practical exam following participation
in a comprehensive curriculum specifically
focused on massage during and following 
pregnancy. The curriculum includes 
advanced techniques, pregnancy and
postpartum exercises and body support 
practice. Techniques are focused on the 
unique concerns of each trimester and the
postpartum period. Therapist training also
includes detailed information on the 
anatomy and physiology of pregnancy, 
labor, and birth. Learning to recognize
signs of complications is an important 
component of training.

The Mommy Spa vision
The Mommy Spa vision is to offer massage
therapy as adjunctive healthcare during
the birthing year including prenatal and
postpartum therapies. Lindsay MacInnis,
CMT has studied the modalities of
Swedish / Relaxation massage, Deep
Tissue massage and Trigger Point Therapy.

pregnancy, Lindsay turned the focus of
her practice to working with pregnant and
postpartum women. Member American
Massage Therapy Association and the
