Transcending Health · Charlottesville, VA
Prenatal Massage in Charlottesville, VA
Supportive pregnancy massage with thoughtful positioning, adjustable pressure and care centered on your changing body.
Personalized Care
Comfort-Focused Massage Through Pregnancy
Pregnancy can change posture, sleep, circulation and the way tension collects through the hips, back, shoulders and legs. Prenatal massage is adapted to provide comfort without treating pregnancy like a standard massage session.
At Transcending Health, we take time to discuss trimester, symptoms, comfort preferences and guidance from your prenatal care team. Bolsters and side-lying positions help create a secure, relaxing experience.
Every session begins with a conversation. If your needs fall outside the appropriate scope of wellness care, we will encourage you to seek the right medical evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Prenatal Massage FAQs
When can I receive prenatal massage?
Suitability depends on your pregnancy and health history. Share any concerns with your prenatal provider and with your therapist before treatment.
Do I lie on my stomach?
Sessions commonly use comfortable side-lying or supported positions rather than placing pressure on the abdomen.
Can prenatal massage reduce swelling?
Massage may support comfort, but swelling can have medical causes. New, sudden or significant swelling should be discussed with your prenatal provider.
What if my pregnancy is high risk?
Please obtain guidance from your prenatal medical provider before scheduling and tell us about any restrictions.
