Book your pregnancy massage

Being pregnant is a full-time job your body never clocks out from. Even when you have the rest of life to carry.


Pregnancy Massage in the Capital Region That’s Actually About You

Every day, you’re asked to keep going. Power through the aches. Ignore the twinges. Stay “grateful” even when you’re exhausted and sore in places you didn’t know could be sore.

But the truth is: pregnancy isn’t just about the baby — it’s about you, too.

And your body deserves as much care, attention, and comfort as you’re giving to everyone else.

Being pregnant is… a lot.

Step back into your life feeling steadier — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Rest without the guilt because taking care of yourself is taking care of your baby.

Feel at home in your body again, even as it changes daily.

Be the one who’s cared for in a season where all the focus has been on the baby.

It’s a necessary reset that lets you breathe deeper, move easier, and feel more like yourself in the middle of the biggest physical shift of your life. 

You deserve the time and space to…

Pregnancy massage isn’t a “nice to have” pampering moment…

for each stage of pregnancy and adjusted to your individual needs.


Pressure that’s safe and effective 

with a pregnancy-safe face down stomach and sidelying pillow options so you’re never straining or uncomfortable.


Supportive positioning 

targeting the areas where pregnancy is really taking its toll (like lower back, hips, shoulders, legs, feet, and ankles).


Customized bodywork 

Specialized massage therapy designed for the physical, mental, and emotional load of pregnancy.

Create a practice of self-prioritization so you can meet the demands of pregnancy and life with more comfort, calm, and connection to your body.

How Mave Pregnancy Massage Works

When Becca's regular massage therapist couldn't work with her during pregnancy, she found Meredith and discovered what specialized pregnancy massage could really do. The sciatic pain that used to stop her "dead in her tracks" became manageable with consistent monthly sessions. But what kept her coming back was how Meredith customized every massage to exactly what she needed that day, and how knowing Meredith was also a doula gave her complete confidence in the care she was receiving.

"Once I was very consistent with them, I didn't have my shooting sciatic pains."

BECCA'S STORY

I am a licensed massage therapist and DONA-trained birth doula with over 15 years of experience helping people feel at home in their bodies.

I’ve worked with hundreds of clients in all life stages and want to help you create space for rest, recovery, and reconnection.

My true passion has always been helping birthing parents through pregnancy massage. Becoming a parent – whether it’s your first baby or your fourth – is a beautiful (and, let’s be real, taxing) experience on your body and mind. 

I use my extensive pregnancy-safe massage training and my background as a doula to create a massage experience that focuses on YOU – so you feel cared for and prioritized in this season of transition.

Or massage bundles so you can get “you” time on the calendar in advance.

You can book one-off sessions

Here’s the thing: if you’re already uncomfortable, it won’t magically disappear the day you give birth.

In fact, supporting your body now can help make postpartum recovery smoother, give you more energy during labor, and actually enjoy this season instead of simply enduring it.

“But I can just wait until after the baby comes…”

Massage in pregnancy is widely accepted by practitioners like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists as a safe way to ease back pain, swelling, and tension.

Studies have shown that massage during pregnancy can help lower anxiety and reduce symptoms of depression, along with easing pain in your legs and back.

Pregnancy can feel like one big ‘don’t do this’ list. Thankfully, massage is NOT on it.

Pregnancy massage is safe? Let me reassure you.

Right for you if...

Pregnancy Massage is…

You want to feel more comfortable in your body so you can enjoy this season.

You’re tired of powering through discomfort and ready for real relief.

You want care that treats you like a whole person, not just a checklist of symptoms.

Have been instructed by your OBGYN or Midwife to NOT receive pregnancy massage for a specific medical reason.

I recommend once a month throughout your pregnancy, and even into your postpartum period. This will help us navigate your body’s changes and address your needs quickly.

How often should I rebook pregnancy massages during my pregnancy?

You can book as early as your first trimester and continue throughout your pregnancy.

I’m early in my pregnancy. Can I book a pregnancy massage this soon?

Yes — when done by a trained professional like Meredith. Every position, technique, and amount of pressure is tailored to your stage of pregnancy.
