What Is Prenatal Massage?

Prenatal massage, also called pregnancy massage, is a massage session adapted for people who are pregnant. It is designed with comfort, positioning, and your preferences in mind, with time to talk about how you are feeling on the day of your appointment.

Like other massage sessions, prenatal massage can be a quiet opportunity to pause and focus on relaxation. At Soul Balm Massage Therapy in Kansas City, the session can be tailored around the areas you would like to prioritize and the positioning that feels most comfortable for you.

Session lengths & pricing

Choosing Your Prenatal
Massage Session Length

The length of your session determines how much hands-on massage time you’ll receive. Sessions shorter than 60 minutes are best suited for focused attention on specific areas, as they don’t allow adequate time for a comfortable, unhurried full-body massage.

A 60-minute session allows for a full-body massage, while 75- and 90-minute sessions offer additional time to settle in, get comfortable, and enjoy a more relaxed, nurturing experience. These longer sessions are especially beneficial during pregnancy, when comfort and positioning are important.

Session lengthDisplayed priceWhy the time matters
30 minutes$45A shorter session for focused attention and a minimal time commitment.
45 minutes$60Allows more time to settle in and prioritize the areas you would like to discuss.

75 minutes$100Offers additional time for an unhurried pace and your chosen areas of focus.

Session duration does not guarantee a specific result. The best choice depends on your personal preferences, your comfort with positioning and pressure, the areas you would like to discuss, and the time you have available.
