Pregnancy is a beautiful, life-changing journey. But let’s be honest for a moment: it’s also incredibly demanding on your body.
As your baby grows, your body’s mechanics shift. Your centre of gravity moves forward, pulling on your lower back, straining your pelvis, tightening your shoulders and causing your ankles to swell. It can feel almost impossible to find a comfortable position to sit, let alone rest.
At NurtureMe, we see you, we hear you and we’re here to support you. Our cosy Tumbi Umbi centre is designed to be a non-clinical safe haven, a home-style sanctuary where you can leave the medical appointments behind and simply receive the care you deserve. Every member of our hand-picked team has a genuine heart for nurturing mothers, so you feel completely safe and free from judgement.
When is the best time to book a pregnancy massage?
Expectant mums often wonder when they can start booking sessions. Because our team are all qualified therapists trained in pregnancy massage, you can book from the end of your first trimester right up to your due date, and even when you’re overdue.
Trimester-by-trimester support
First trimester (weeks 1 to 12)
This is a good time to look ahead and book your second trimester massage. Our therapists are often booked out a few weeks ahead, so booking early means you’ll have time set aside for when your body starts to feel the strain.
Second trimester (weeks 13 to 26)
Often called the ‘golden phase’, this is when your baby starts growing quickly and your body begins to shift. Our remedial massage focuses on:
- relieving early lower back strain
- supporting pelvic alignment
- easing shoulder tension from your changing posture
Third trimester (weeks 27 to 40+)
This is when the physical load peaks. Our face-down tables become a lifesaver in these final weeks, helping relieve back pain and heavy pelvic pressure. Our remedial strokes also encourage lymphatic drainage to help reduce swelling (oedema) in your feet, ankles and hands.
From 38 weeks (labour induction massage)
Once you pass 38 weeks, we offer a specialised labour induction massage. Using targeted acupressure, warm oils and soothing remedial strokes, we help prepare your body and mind for labour, easing late-stage discomfort and birth anxiety.
What is pregnancy massage?
A pregnancy massage (also called a prenatal massage) is a specialised remedial therapy designed for the structural and hormonal changes your body goes through in pregnancy.
Unlike a standard relaxation massage, it targets the muscle groups most affected by pregnancy. Our qualified remedial therapists use gentle, safe techniques to help:
- release tight lower back muscles
- ease sciatic nerve pain
- relieve pelvic pressure
- improve circulation to reduce fluid retention in your feet and ankles
But it’s more than physical relief. Research suggests regular prenatal massage may help lower stress hormones like cortisol and lift mood-regulating hormones like serotonin and dopamine. For many mums that means better sleep, less late-stage anxiety and a calmer lead-up to birth.
Is it safe to be massaged when you’re pregnant?
This is the question expectant mums ask most. For most pregnancies the answer is yes, when the massage is done by a qualified therapist trained in pregnancy massage.
At NurtureMe, your safety and peace of mind come first. Our team are all qualified remedial therapists with pregnancy massage training. Pregnancy massage isn’t an add-on for us: maternal care is the heart of what we do. We carry out an assessment before your session begins, so we can tailor every movement to you and your pregnancy. We avoid deep tissue pressure on your legs and watch closely for anything that means massage isn’t right for you that day. If you have a high-risk pregnancy and would like to talk it through before booking, we’re happy to chat, and we can work with your doctor or midwife to make sure your session is supportive and safe.
The face-down difference: no side-lying cushions
If you’ve ever had a pregnancy massage at a day spa, you were probably asked to lie on your side, propped up with awkward, shifting pillows. Side-lying massage is safe, but it often stops your therapist from fully reaching your lower back and glutes. And shifting your weight from side to side when heavily pregnant is anything but relaxing.
At NurtureMe, we do things differently so you get the most out of your session.
Our custom-designed massage tables have a padded belly cut-out, so you can lie completely flat and face-down with your belly fully supported, however far along you are. The moment you lie down and feel your belly supported, the pressure on your pelvis and back eases. It’s a rare feeling of total weightlessness that our clients describe as pure heaven. Many say they don’t feel pregnant at all.
Our nurturing pregnancy massage sessions
To help you choose the right session for your body, we offer two options. Both use our face-down tables and are with qualified remedial therapists.
The signature pregnancy cocoon experience
If you’re looking for the deepest rest in your pregnancy, we recommend our Signature Pregnancy Cocoon Experience. This 90-minute session is designed to slow your busy mind, quieten your nervous system and restore your body.
Your cocoon experience unfolds in four gentle stages:
Ground & calm
Your session begins with a warm, soothing foot scrub and a gentle foot massage. This first touch tells your nervous system it’s time to slow down, ground and rest.
Weightless & release
Your therapist then gives you a deeply relaxing, full-body pregnancy massage. With your choice of light, medium or firm pressure, we focus on releasing lower back strain, pelvic tension and neck stiffness.
Cocoon wrap
After your massage, there’s no rushing off the table. We tuck you in with a soft towel, creating a cosy cocoon, and your therapist quietly leaves the room. You’re left in complete stillness for a restorative 30-minute rest. No house, work or toddler demands, just permission to be still.
Gentle awakening
We return with a soft touch, gently waking your senses with a calming head and scalp massage, leaving you feeling light, refreshed and deeply nurtured.

Read what our mums say about their pregnancy massage
Here’s what expectant mums across the Central Coast say about their time on our face-down tables.
I wanted to treat myself to a pregnancy massage and wasn’t going to go anywhere else once I found NurtureMe. I booked for 37 weeks, and it was just perfect timing as I was finally finished work & in the wind down time before baby comes.
★★★★★Tiana Reeves
Easily one of the best massages I’ve ever had. I prefer a firm massage, and the therapist absolutely delivered—while still keeping it warm, gentle, and incredibly relaxing at the same time. It’s such a rare balance to get right, but they nailed it.
★★★★★Katie Hamilton
Deb is absolutely amazing! She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed, which I didn’t think was even possible during pregnancy. By far the best massage I’ve ever had—her technique, care, and attention to detail are unmatched. I left feeling completely rejuvenated and at ease. Highly recommend!
★★★★★Vanessa Clare
Incredible experience at NurtureMe 🤍 I had the most beautiful pregnancy massage. Was able to switch off and be completely pampered. Deb and all the staff are so kind, warm and nurturing. The whole concept of NurtureMe and their services are just phenomenal and so very needed.
★★★★★Zoe Zoaretz
The perfect gift: nurture the mother
Are you a partner, parent or friend looking for the perfect baby shower gift? It’s easy to spend hundreds of dollars on toys, baby clothes and nursery items that are quickly outgrown. What an expectant mum truly needs, and rarely buys for herself, is the gift of deep rest.
At NurtureMe, we make it simple to spoil her. Our Baby Shower Gift Vouchers fund a restorative massage session, giving her a quiet escape she’ll remember.
Vouchers come as a physical card or an instant digital e-voucher. They’re valid for three years and can be used for NurtureMe services including pregnancy massage, prenatal classes, feeding support, baby massage classes and the NurtureMe Retreat (beauty treatments excluded). It’s the ultimate gift of care, showing her that you see her, not just the baby.
