Preparation and Consultation

Our consultant will discuss with you your pregnancy stage, concerns, and medical history prior to the massage. Regular sessions are recommended to maintain the benefits of a prenatal massage. Mothers-to-be must be between 16 to 36 weeks pregnant.

Massage Techniques

You will lie on your side or in a semi-reclined position, fully supported with pillows. Our therapist uses soothing spiral and long gliding strokes to promote deep relaxation, relieve back and hip tension, and support overall comfort for both you and baby.

Focus Areas

The therapist will pay special attention to areas of tension, such as the back, shoulders, hips, and legs, which are commonly affected during pregnancy. The massage may also target specific discomforts, like lower back pain and swelling in the feet and ankles.

Our Prenatal Massage Oils

We use a water-soluble massage oil that contains grapefruit seed extract, which makes it easily absorbed into the skin and adds moisture. Our prenatal massage oils are 100% safe for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. As your belly expands, our massage helps reduce dryness and itchiness, minimising visible stretch marks.

Regular sessions helps prevents further damage to skin, ie. stretch marks.

What Mums Say About Our Treatments

Very pleasant experience at BMB. Free 30mins pre-natal foot massage for Alvernia Ladies Card members. Friendly counter staff (Ivy) patiently explained the benefits of pre-natal massage to me. Masseur (Anna) was very gentle and skilled. Felt really good after the foot massage, highly recommended! 😌 Huge discounts on post natal services for ALC members.

Had my first session with BMB with therapist Theresia. She did great with knowing my body pain and knots. I feel great thereafter! :))))

Incredible prenatal massage by Margie. I could have cried! She made my body feel so relaxed and I only wish I had started earlier. I have had many massages at five star places before and this one was one of the best I’ve ever had. Looking forward to my next 5 appointments with her!

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    Are massages good for expecting mothers and the unborn baby?

    Studies indicate that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. 

    The benefits of massage can improve overall prenatal health for many pregnant women. Along with the guidance and advice of a prenatal care provider, massage therapy can be incorporated into routine prenatal care as an emotional and physical health supplement proven to improve pregnancy outcome, and maternal health. 

    Although most masseuses have varying years of experience in providing prenatal massages, it is best to find a massage therapist who is certified in prenatal massage.

    When should I begin prenatal massages?

    We recommend mothers-to-be to go for a prenatal massage between 16 to 36 weeks of pregnancy. 

    If you are more than 36 weeks in your pregnancy and wish to have a prenatal massage, we require a Doctor’s letter of approval before commencing the service.
