Many moms put themselves last in self-care. But as a mother myself, and a certified prenatal specialist, I’m here to remind you that taking care of yourself is one of the best things you can do for your growing family. I’ve had the privilege of helping so many Portland moms feel more comfortable and cared for, while reducing discomfort in the shoulders, back and especially the hips.
Pregnancy changes everything, including your joints, ligaments, blood volume, and center of gravity. I tailor every session to the unique physiological changes of your body. As a certified specialist, I understand the nuances of pregnancy, knowing exactly which pressure points to avoid, how to safely position you to protect major blood vessels, and how to adjust pressure to keep you safe and comfortable.
I’m April, a Licensed Massage Therapist who's been helping Portland mothers find relief for many years. I'm passionate about relieving pain and I love to use my 20+ years of experience to help expectant mothers find relief through every trimester. One client, pregnant with her third child, shared that regular monthly massages during her pregnancy made her final delivery the easiest one yet! I would love to bring that relief to you as well.
Safe Massage For You And Your Baby: I provide treatment plans that align with your medical needs for both low and higher-risk pregnancies.
Pregnancy-Safe Products: I exclusively use high-quality, pregnancy-safe, and unscented (or gently, safely scented) lotions.
A Stress-Free Sanctuary: Located in nearby Gresham, OR and just a short drive down I-84, my clinic is designed to be a peaceful, accessible retreat from the hustle of Portland. Offering free, easy parking to save you the hassle and stress of parking in downtown Portland.
