What Makes Us Different

At Mama Spa we are dedicated to your safety and comfort. We put thought into everything we do, from the types of products we put on your skin to the position we have you in during a treatment.  We follow every current prenatal precaution and guideline to create nothing but safe, gentle treatments.  We have deconstructed the massage and spa experience from an anatomy, physiology and research point of view that allows us to determine what is truly appropriate. We educate each of our clients and give them clear reasons for what we do or do not do during treatment.

One example is that we do not use "pregnancy massage tables" with the cut-out or the prone pillows that allows you to rest on your stomach.  Research shows that prone (stomach) lying during massage stretches out the uterine ligaments and increases abdominal pressure. The recommended position is either side-lying or semi-reclining with a special incline pillow, as featured below.
