Ayurvedic Pregnancy Massage (Prenatal Massage)
A Gentle Wellness Therapy for Expectant Mothers
Pregnancy is a unique and transformative phase of life. Alongside the joy and anticipation, many women experience physical changes, tiredness, and emotional fluctuations. At Ayur Healthcare, Parramatta, we offer Ayurvedic Pregnancy Massage (Prenatal Massage) in Parramatta, Sydney as a gentle wellness therapy designed to support relaxation, comfort, and emotional balance during pregnancy.
This therapy is offered with care, respect, and a strong focus on safety for both mother and baby.
Pregnancy Massage from an Ayurvedic Perspective
Ayurveda is a traditional system of wellness that emphasises balance between the body, mind, and lifestyle. During pregnancy, Ayurvedic approaches focus on nurturing the mother, encouraging rest, and supporting overall wellbeing.
Ayurvedic pregnancy massage is adapted specifically for the prenatal stage and uses gentle techniques, light pressure, and pregnancy-appropriate oils, always guided by individual needs and practitioner assessment.
The Importance of Professional Assessment
Before booking a pregnancy massage, an Ayurvedic consultation is essential. Every pregnancy is different, and this initial assessment allows our practitioner to understand your stage of pregnancy, general wellbeing, and any specific considerations.
Your practitioner will determine whether pregnancy massage is suitable for you and explain how the therapy will be performed safely and comfortably.
When Is Pregnancy Massage Usually Considered?
In general, pregnancy massage is usually considered after the first trimester, provided there are no medical concerns or restrictions. Many women find the second trimester to be a more comfortable time for massage, though suitability varies from person to person.
Your practitioner will always guide you based on your individual circumstances and professional judgement.
