Pregnancy Massage
Enhancing Your Pregnancy Massage Experience
If you’ve experienced a massage during pregnancy, you’ve likely been positioned lying on your side. While this standard approach might be common, it might not always match your comfort or past massage experiences. At Barefoot, we believe in tailoring the massage experience to your preferences and comfort. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we offer various positions for your comfort—whether that’s lying on your back in a seated position, with pillow support, on your side, or even at a chair. Your comfort is paramount, and we’re dedicated to ensuring you feel at ease throughout the session.
Our therapists adapt their techniques to your needs, collaborating with you to understand your desired outcomes. When you schedule a massage with us, you’ll receive a health questionnaire, providing an opportunity to specify your preferences and share details about your pregnancy. During your appointment, we’ll review this information, encouraging you to voice your preferences and provide feedback during the massage.
We’re here to adjust the experience according to your comfort, whether it’s altering positions, pressure, or focusing on specific areas that require attention. Our goal is to dispel any misconceptions surrounding pregnancy massage and ensure a transparent, comfortable, and enjoyable experience. You can expect a personalised pregnancy massage at Barefoot that prioritises your comfort, creating a safe, nurturing, and stress-free environment to support pregnant women and new mothers alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
Massage is safe during all stages of pregnancy and can be very beneficial for ‘mums to be’.
We understand the concerns of expectant mothers, especially during the first trimester of pregnancy and we would like to reassure you that our therapists are highly trained and certified in clinical prenatal massage, with specialised knowledge to safely and effectively provide massage during all stages of pregnancy. Your health and relaxation are our top priorities and we are committed to offering a nurturing experience tailored to support your pregnancy journey.
You may have experienced speculation into whether massage is safe during the first trimester of pregnancy – as an evidenced based practice we can assure you that massage received by a qualified therapist is not harmful to you or your baby at any stage of pregnancy. We want to de-bunk the myths around pregnancy and massage and make massage inclusive to everyone so that we can all enjoy the benefits.
Please get in touch with us if you have any questions, as we understand each pregnancy is unique and your well-being is our priority.
Absolutely! We are able to offer prone lying massage thanks to the award winning Belloost pregnancy pillow. The specialised pillow is designed to allow ‘mums to be’ the ability to lie face down to enjoy their massage.
Adjustable sections support both bump and mum, allowing comfort without compromise throughout pregnancy.
Our therapists are able to offer various options for positioning during massage and make recommendations depending on your comfort and how far you are into your pregnancy, so that you can get the most from your treatment.
A postnatal massage is a great way to honour all that your body has been through after pregnancy and birth. Massage can provide you with that much needed self-care and nourish your well-being, relieving stress and anxiety. If you have had a caesarean you may wish to consult with your doctor before booking a massage to make sure your body is fully healed. Alternatively, you can contact us to discuss any queries or concerns. We are very accommodating to women postnatally and welcome you to bring your baby with you to your treatment should you wish to.
