Relief from lower-back strain
The main reason people book it. We work the muscles compensating for the postural change, with no manipulation and no deep pressure.
Special Treatment
Prenatal Massage
From the second trimester onwards, with support cushions that let you lie on your side without pressure on the abdomen, gentle strokes and neutral oils free of essential oils. It eases lower-back strain, heavy legs and difficulty resting.
What it is and where it comes from
The weight of pregnancy isn't distributed: it concentrates in the lower back and pelvis.
From the second trimester the centre of gravity shifts forward and the spine compensates by arching. That sustained curvature over months overloads the lumbar region, pelvis and legs, and is the source of most pregnancy discomfort.
Prenatal massage adapts to that reality: never face down, side-lying with cushions between the knees and under the abdomen, gentle pressure and no deep work. Oils are neutral, without essential oils, since several are not advised during pregnancy.

What you'll feel
Less swollen legs and feet
Gentle drainage strokes toward the heart that ease heaviness and end-of-day fluid retention.
Better night-time rest
Sleeping with a bump is uncomfortable by definition. Lowering muscular and nervous tension helps you fall asleep and wake less often.
Time that's yours
In pregnancy almost all the attention goes to the baby. This hour belongs to the mother, and for many that's what they appreciate most.
Who it's for — and who should check first
Made for you if you
- Are in your second or third trimester with a normally progressing pregnancy
- Have lower-back, pelvic or sciatic pain
- Get swollen legs and feet by the end of the day
- Struggle to find a sleeping position
- Want a quiet hour without having to think about anything
Ask your midwife or obstetrician first
- We do not perform this massage in the first trimester
- If your pregnancy is classified as high-risk
- If you have or have had pre-eclampsia or gestational hypertension
- If you have had bleeding, premature contractions or threatened labour
- If you have gestational diabetes, thrombosis or significant varicose veins
- If you are expecting twins or under any special monitoring
This is the only treatment on our menu for which we ask for clearance from your midwife or obstetrician before booking. It isn't a formality: we are not healthcare professionals and are not in a position to assess your pregnancy. If your clinician gives the go-ahead, we adapt the session to whatever they advise.

Frequently asked questions
From which week can I come?
From week 13, that is the second trimester. We don't perform this massage in the first trimester. It's a widely held precaution in the sector rather than a medical rule: if your obstetrician advises otherwise, do tell us.
Do I need medical authorisation?
We ask you to check with your midwife or obstetrician before booking. You don't need to bring a document, but you do need to have asked. If your pregnancy is under any special monitoring, it's essential.
How do I lie? I can't be face down.
Never face down. We work side-lying with support cushions between the knees and under the abdomen, switching sides halfway through. We can also work semi-seated if that's more comfortable for you.
Which oils do you use?
Neutral vegetable oil, with no essential oils. Several essential oils are not advised during pregnancy, so none are used in this treatment. If you'd rather no oil were used on a particular area, just say.
Can my feet and ankles be massaged?
Yes, with gentle pressure, and it's often the most welcome part given the swelling. There's a belief that certain ankle points can induce labour; the evidence doesn't support it, but as a precaution we work that area superficially and without sustained pressure.
Which duration suits me?
60 minutes (€80) is the most common and comfortable. 30 minutes (€50) works well for lower back and legs only. 90 minutes can feel long when pregnant, so we don't recommend it unless you ask.
