What to expect during session
Arrival includes a brief intake where you’ll share pregnancy details and current discomforts so the therapist can plan side-lying positioning and gentle techniques. Expect pillows and bolsters to support the belly and hips; communication about pressure and comfort is encouraged throughout to ensure safety and relaxation.
During the 60 MINUTES session you’ll notice gentle, targeted work on lower back and hips designed to ease pressure, with lighter contact over swollen areas. Therapists avoid long periods prone or supine and will adapt strokes, timing and focus according to your trimester and tolerance.
Safety and trimester adjustments
We use safe side-lying positioning throughout prenatal sessions to prevent extended supine time and to support circulation. Pillow placement, frequent repositioning and clear verbal check-ins reduce pressure and help maintain comfort as your body changes across trimesters.
Therapists review your health history before work begins and adjust pressure and techniques to match trimester-specific needs. When medically necessary we ask clients to get clearance from their prenatal provider before booking; this helps us ensure the massage fits your individual care plan.
Local convenience and scheduling
Soul Spa's West Los Angeles location sits near Sawtelle and Santa Monica Boulevard, convenient for commuters and shoppers. Evening and weekend appointments are popular with busy professionals and parents; walk-in or pre/post-shopping treatments work well for visitors to Sawtelle eateries and the Santa Monica retail corridor.
A standard appointment is 60 MINUTES and costs $90. During peak months — May, September and December — we recommend booking ahead. Evening and weekend times are often in demand by commuters coming from Century City and Westwood, and the 60-minute format still leaves time for careful positioning and open communication.
