What is Prenatal Massage?
Prenatal massage is a specialized treatment adapted to the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy. Sunisa uses gentle techniques, comfortable positions and support cushions to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the session.
Unlike regular massage, prenatal massage avoids certain areas and uses pressure adapted to each trimester. It is a moment of deep relaxation where you can release tension built up from the postural changes of pregnancy, without having to travel.

FAQ
Is prenatal massage safe during pregnancy?
Yes. Prenatal massage by a trained Registered Massage Therapist is considered safe and beneficial during a healthy pregnancy, typically after the first trimester. I use specialized positioning and gentle techniques adapted for each stage of pregnancy. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have a high-risk pregnancy.
What position will I be in during a prenatal massage?
I use comfortable side-lying positions supported by pillows and bolsters, ensuring both your safety and comfort. The position is adjusted throughout the session based on your comfort level and the areas being treated.
When should I start getting prenatal massages?
Most RMTs recommend starting prenatal massage after the first trimester (after week 12). Many clients find the second and third trimesters most beneficial as pregnancy-related discomforts like back pain, swelling and sciatica tend to increase. I can advise on the best frequency for your situation.
Is prenatal massage covered by insurance?
Yes. Prenatal massage performed by a CMTO-registered RMT is covered by most extended health insurance plans in Ontario. I provide official receipts accepted by Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, Desjardins, Green Shield and most major plans.
Why is mobile massage especially good for pregnant women?
Mobile massage eliminates the need to drive to a clinic when you may be uncomfortable behind the wheel. You can relax immediately after your treatment without traveling. The familiar environment of your own home also helps you feel more at ease, which enhances the benefits of the massage.
