Mother-To-Be

Carolina Pereira, Spa Therapist at BSpa by Karin Herzog, values care, listening and safety in every treatment dedicated to pregnancy and breastfeeding. In her view, the Tension-Release Pregnancy Massage is not a simple adaptation of a relaxing massage: it is an experience designed to respect each woman’s body, comfort and individual stage.

• Is pregnant and feels tension in the back, shoulders, legs or lower back.
• Is looking for a safe, comfortable massage without excessive intensity.
• Is breastfeeding and feels that their body is more physically demanding or tired.
• Values a welcoming experience with positioning, pressure and pace adapted to them.

“For me, this massage begins with a great deal of listening. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the body changes, sensitivity changes, and what feels comfortable one day may not feel the same the next. Before beginning, I like to understand which stage the client is in, where she feels the most tension and what type of touch gives her the greatest sense of safety.

Positioning is one of the most important details. Everything should be prepared so that the client feels supported, comfortable and calm, without effort. The pressure is always light to moderate, never excessive, and the pace of the massage follows the way the body responds.

This is not a massage for deep work or for insisting on sensitive areas. It is care designed to ease the feeling of tension, create comfort in the most overloaded areas and offer a genuine moment of rest.

At BSpa, I like to create a very serene experience, paying attention to room temperature, silence and the client’s own timing. The aim is for her to leave with a greater feeling of lightness, support and wellbeing, always respecting this very particular stage.”
