Prenatal Massage in Golden, CO
Growing a baby is one of the most incredible things your body will ever do — and it deserves real support along the way. Prenatal massage at Handled With Care offers safe, nurturing relief from the aches, tension, and swelling that come with this season, so you can feel more like yourself through every trimester.
Why Prenatal Massage?
Your body is changing week by week — your center of gravity shifts, your lower back and hips carry new strain, and things like swelling, sciatica, tension headaches, and restless nights can creep in. Prenatal massage is designed with all of this in mind — not just to help you relax, but to genuinely support you through it.
Clients typically seek prenatal massage for:
- Lower back and hip pain
- Swelling in the legs and feet
- Sciatic nerve discomfort
- Tension headaches and neck/shoulder tightness
- Difficulty sleeping
- General stress and anxiety around pregnancy and birth
Safe, Specialized Care
Prenatal massage is its own art — not simply a softer version of a regular massage. Our therapists are trained specifically in pregnancy-safe techniques, positioning, and pressure, using supportive bolstering and side-lying positioning so you feel comfortable and cared for the entire time.
We recommend prenatal massage from the second trimester onward, though every pregnancy is unique. If you’re wondering whether it’s right for you, we’re happy to talk it through before you book — and we always encourage checking in with your OB or midwife too.
What to Expect
Your first session starts with a warm, unhurried conversation — how you’re feeling, what’s bothering you, and what makes you most comfortable. From there, sessions run 60 or 90 minutes, with pillows and bolsters supporting you the whole way through. Most of our mamas-to-be are even able to comfortably lie face-down, thanks to our supportive pillow system — whatever position feels best for you and your body that day.
Meet Your Therapists
Sara S, LMT, and Rita K, LMT, both bring specialized training and certification in prenatal massage to every session. Sara pairs that training with a background in deep tissue and sports massage, while Rita draws on one of the widest modality ranges on our team. Both genuinely love this work — there’s nothing quite like helping an expecting mom feel more comfortable, supported, and cared for.
