Pregnancy Massage Recommendations...

Hi Ladies, at my last appointment the doctor recommended massage to help with the headaches I've been having.  She said to be sure to get a pregnancy massage.  Does anybody have experience with getting a pregnancy massage in the metro area?  If so, please share...TIA!

    I got one at Salon Ultimo in Woodbury. It's a great idea!! If you've been to a masseuse before that you liked, check and see if they have prenatal massage, it seems like many do. Good luck with the headaches!

    I've gone to Healing Waters in White Bear Lake.  It was worth every penny.

    check into any chiropractic center or physical therapy (if dr. writes a prescription) insurance may cover??   our hospital has a massage therapist in the physical therapy department and even without it being covered was less than a spa.   granted the setting wasn't spa like, but still very relaxing!

    I went to Blooma in Edina for a prenatal massage and it was wonderful!  The woman's name was Stacy and it was worth every penny!

    While pregnant I had one at Massage Envy in Eden Prairie, it was good, but not great. I had an amazing massage at Life Balance in Waconia with Kathy, I believe. I got to lay on your belly, which hadn't been done in such a long time, that alone felt fantastic. At Massage Envy (at least in EP) I was on my side and actually walked away with a kink in my neck the way they had me laying down.

    I actually got one at the Aveda Institute in Minneapolis. It is only $40 for an hour and you just tell them how far along you are and they set up the table to accommodate your belly.  It was awesome and cheap!

    I had several prenatal massages at Bodywise in Crystal.  They were all amazing.  If you do go, ask for Damian.  He is the greatest!

    Linda Posthumus (ignore the off-putting last name) in Eden Prairie is amazing, and she is specially trained in prenatal massage.  She's also a doula.  I also like that she is independent.  For a little extra, she may come to  you.  Her website is www.MassageHealingArtsCenter.com .

     For anyone getting massage, be sure to tell the therapist that you're pregnant.  There are triggerpoints that can cause pre-term labor.
