PREGNANCY MASSAGE. Pregnancy is a wonderful and special time when you need to take care of yourself and your darling little one on the way. Prenatal or Pregnancy Massage is a wonderful complement to your prenatal care, reminding the body to relax during this exciting time. This will reduce unnecessary stress and promote overall wellness, for both you and your baby.
Prenatal Massage can give you and your little one many natural benefits, especially when other options for sleep aide and pain relief tend to be medication-based. At Steamboat Health and Wellness we take you and your baby’s health seriously. So we do what we can to facilitate your body’s “natural healing process.” We believe a Healthier, Happy, Stress-free Mom helps make a Healthier and Happier Baby. In many cases, with a Doctor’s referral, Health Insurance covers Preganancy Massage sessions.
