Yes, pregnancy massage is safe when performed by a trained therapist using the right techniques.
At Amilda, it is available from 13 weeks onwards, the start of the second trimester, performed side lying with full cushion support and soft to medium pressure.
Certain areas are always avoided, including the inner ankles, inner calves, the abdomen and specific acupressure points that are contraindicated during pregnancy, and our therapists are trained in prenatal massage throughout.
We always recommend consulting your doctor or midwife before booking, particularly with low blood pressure, a high-risk pregnancy or other medical considerations. We do not offer body massage during the first trimester, as this is the most sensitive period, but several treatments remain safe if you would still like something.
Our CTR Face Massage is safe from the very first weeks, working entirely on the face, neck and shoulders.
Our Lymphatic Drainage Massage, is safe throughout pregnancy, including the first trimester, and helps with early symptoms such as bloating, fluid retention and swollen ankles. Our Vitamin C Facial and 3D Collagen Facial are both safe at every stage of pregnancy too.
