Pregnancy Massage
in Alamo, Tennessee
Therapy tailored specifically to an expectant mother’s needs, also called pre-natal massage. You’re bolstered on your side the whole time — no table hole, no lying face-down, nothing to brace against.
What it helps
By the second trimester, most of the complaints are the same ones: the low back is carrying weight it didn’t sign up for, the hips ache, and sleep has become a negotiation.
- Low-back and hip ache from a shifting center of gravity
- Tight glutes and sciatic-type discomfort down the leg
- Swelling and heaviness in the legs and feet
- Restless legs and trouble getting comfortable at night
- Neck and shoulder tension from posture changes
Who it’s for
Expectant mothers from the second trimester onward. If you’re in your first trimester, or your pregnancy is being managed as high-risk, call before you book so Jessica can talk it through with you.
- Second and third trimester
- Anyone who can no longer lie face-down comfortably
- First-time mothers who aren’t sure what to expect
- Anyone whose regular massage no longer fits their body
Massage therapy is not a substitute for prenatal medical care. Your provider’s guidance comes first, always.
How you’ll be positioned
You’re asked how far along you are
Weeks, how you’ve been feeling, anything your provider has told you, and what aches most today.
You lie on your side, not your front
No cut-out table, no belly pillow to balance on. Side-lying is the position, start to finish.
Bolsters go everywhere they’re needed
Under the head, between the knees, along the belly and behind the back — adjusted until you’re actually comfortable, not just propped.
You turn over halfway, if you want to
Most people do, so both hips get worked. If getting up and resettling isn’t worth it that day, you stay put.
The safety part, said plainly
Prenatal massage is a different job from a regular massage, and the difference is mostly in what doesn’t happen: no deep work on the legs, no lying face-down, no pressure held anywhere that makes you want to hold your breath.
Tell Jessica everything — how many weeks, whether you’re carrying more than one, any bleeding, swelling, high blood pressure, clotting history or anything your provider has flagged. None of it is too much information, and some of it changes how the hour is run.
If anything is uncomfortable at any point, say so and it stops. That is not being difficult. That is the whole system working.

Questions people actually ask
When can I start?
Most clients start in the second trimester, once morning sickness has eased and the aches have arrived. If you’re in your first trimester and want a massage, call rather than booking online so Jessica can talk it through with you first.
Do I need a note from my doctor?
Not for a routine, healthy pregnancy. If yours is being managed as high-risk, or your provider has told you to check before bodywork, get their clearance first — and tell Jessica what they said.
Will I have to lie on my stomach?
No. You’re on your side the entire session, bolstered with pillows under the head, between the knees and along the belly. There’s no cut-out table and no belly pillow to balance on — those aren’t used here.
Can it help with sciatica?
Often, yes. A lot of what gets called sciatica in pregnancy is tight glutes and hip muscles putting pressure on the nerve, and that responds well to hands-on work. If the pain is sharp, new, or comes with numbness or weakness, talk to your provider before booking.
How late in pregnancy can I come?
Right up to your due date, as long as your pregnancy is healthy and you’re comfortable getting on and off the table. The last few weeks are when most people want it most.
How often should I come?
Once a month through the second trimester and every two weeks in the third works well for most people. If that’s your plan, the membership costs less than booking one at a time.
Can I come after the baby arrives?
Yes — once you’ve been cleared at your postpartum check-up, book a therapeutic massage instead. Carrying a newborn is its own kind of load, and the neck and shoulders usually take it.
Do I have to pay when I book?
Yes — sessions are paid in full at booking, and that’s what holds your time on the calendar. Cancel or reschedule with at least 24 hours notice and you’re refunded in full or moved to a new time. Inside 24 hours, half is refunded.
