As a result, Rebecca has the client lie on her side, with a pillow
between her legs and under her neck, to keep the spine straight.
Depending on the client, a pillow might also be positioned around
her tummy. Rebecca then massages the back, leg and arm of the
side that is “up” before having the mom-to-be switch to the other
side. If she is comfortable, the client will lay on her back for
a short period and get a neck massage and some stretching.
Moms-to-be get basically the same massage
as they would if they weren’t pregnant, although Rebecca pays
special attention to any areas that are particularly uncomfortable.
The massage oil Rebecca uses is perfectly
safe for pregnant women and for babies. For essential oils,
Rebecca only uses Gentle Baby, a therapeutic grade essential
oil that reduces stretch marks and scar tissue. Gentle Baby
essential oil is a mixture of geranium, roman chamomile, ylang
ylang, rose, lavender, palmarosa, bergamot, jasmine, rosewood
and lemon.
One hour massages are $85. Many
of Rebecca's clients like to begin and end each Mommy Massage
with a short Reiki treatment. This makes the massage 90 minutes
and the fee is $125. To learn more about Reiki,

Rebecca offers a frequent buyer program,
allowing clients who get massages regularly to receive discounts.
