Positioning and safety choices
Alpha Massage's pregnancy sessions use specialized positioning and our Earthlite® bolster system to keep pregnant clients comfortable and supported. Bolsters are arranged so pressure avoids the abdomen while allowing access to neck, shoulders and legs as appropriate. Sessions are available up to three months before an expected due date, and positioning is adjusted for each stage of pregnancy.
Safety is balanced with relaxation: therapists monitor comfort and modify touch and support throughout the treatment. If you have medical questions or pregnancy complications, please consult your prenatal provider before booking. We will follow any clearance or restrictions you bring to the appointment and adapt the session to honor those guidelines.
What happens during session
Every 80‑minute session begins with a brief intake to identify comfort needs, positional preferences and any provider instructions you bring. We focus on gentle, nurturing touch tailored to your current trimester and comfort level. Communication during the massage is encouraged so we can change positioning, pressure or focus areas to suit your needs.
Specialized positioning uses Earthlite® bolsters to stabilize hips, chest and legs so you can relax without strain. The system is designed for ease of turning and partial prone or full side-lying adjustments where safe. If you prefer seated or other accommodations, tell us during booking and we will work within the available options.
Getting here and timing
We’re located in Minneapolis’s North Loop / Warehouse District near Target Field and convenient to light rail and commuter corridors. That makes it easy to schedule appointments before or after work, games or events. Early-morning and evening times are offered to accommodate downtown professionals and event attendees who need prenatal care around busy schedules.
Minneapolis’s four-season climate means you may want to plan travel time in winter months and dress in layers for comfort. Clients from nearby St. Paul, Edina, Bloomington and other suburbs can reach us via highways and public transit. Please arrive a few minutes early to complete intake and to settle into the Earthlite® bolster setup.
