There is a massive difference between a massage therapist who happens to see pregnant clients, and a specialized prenatal bodywork practitioner.
When you’re pregnant, your joints are loosening, your center of gravity is shifting, and your circulatory system is working over time. Stacking standard bed pillows side-lying doesn’t cut it. Proper positioning requires ergonomic, specialized prenatal bolster systems designed to relieve pressure on the hips, support the belly without strain, and maintain safe blood flow for both mom and baby.
Beyond the equipment, advanced prenatal care takes targeted continuing education—understanding high-risk indicators, labor-inducing pressure points, and pregnancy sciatica for example.
When someone asks why specialized prenatal massage isn’t $70, this is why. You aren’t just paying for an hour on a table; you’re paying for safety, specialized equipment, and dedicated training beyond what little massage school offered.
