Pregnant Massage

During and after pregnancy physical and emotional wellbeing are especially important for expectant mothers. A pregnancy massage is the ideal preparation for the upcoming time with the offspring. During pregnancy not only the body changes but also the emotional state. In our opinion, pregnant women belong to the COVID-19 risk groups, please protect yourself according to the hygiene guidelines and work whenever possible in the home office.

A pregnancy is a particularly demanding time for all concerned, in which both the body and the soul are heavily used. It is therefore very important to take some time off, to think of yourself and create islands of peace and relaxation. Because the more balanced and happy the mother is, the better the child feels.

Pregnant massage combines parts of different massage techniques (oil massage, anti-stress massage etc.) in a way which are suitable for mother and baby.

This treatment technique requires at least 1 hour. Individualized treatment can take up to two hours.

Do not forget the time after the pregnancy

After successful birth the children’s stress really starts. Now mothers should not forget to take a massage from time to time. Small children, who want to be carried and like to play with (and on) the mother are almost as burdening for the body as the pregnancy itself.
