It can be hard to schedule time for yourself. Sometimes, it feels like everybody needs something, and you constantly have to put the idea of relaxation on the back burner. When you’re trying to balance all this with pregnancy, the exhaustion starts to take over. But self-care is important! This is why I think every expecting parent needs to book regular prenatal massages if possible. Not only do they help you take some time to pamper yourself, but they also are pretty dang great at treating major pregnancy symptoms. If you’ve been looking for a way to unwind, I’d love to tell you where to go for a Portland prenatal massage.

I am participating in a blog circle this month and am sharing a link to photographer in Seattle! Be sure to check out her link at the end of this blog post.

Jinsei Spa

Jinsei Spa has been voted “Best Day Spa” by Central Oregon Magazine, and it only takes one appointment to find out why! The spa provides facials, waxing, manicures and pedicures, and massages. Their hour-long Portland prenatal massages can be provided up to the 37th week of pregnancy. They’re designed to target overwork muscles and provide relief from common pregnancy discomforts. Your therapist will use a mixture of light and medium pressure to make you feel completely rejuvenated by the end of your appointment. 

Blooming Moon Spa

Blooming Moon Wellness Spa is a space that uses premium products and experienced massage therapists to provide relaxing massages. The spa takes the time to find products that are vegan, cruelty-free, and organic. This eco-friendly center provides monthly memberships so you can regularly enjoy their services. The therapists work to reduce both mental and physical stress that pregnancy might invite. They require doctor’s notes to provide massages for parents who are either in their first trimester or are high risk.
