The Nest Registered Massage Therapy

Our Prenatal Services.

Each sessions is tailored to meet YOUR specific needs on the day of your appointment. Because we know it can change by the minute.

We have a special pillow set designed to support all pregnant bodies during all stages of pregnancy. And if that’s not comfortable we can treat you on your side or semi-reclined on our massage table bolstered by all the pillows necessary.

Massage is safe during all stages of pregnancy - yes, even the first!

Or the third right until the bitter end (yes, we’ve had someone’s waters start to trickle while getting a massage)

We would recommend starting with a 60 or 75 minute treatment to determine your needs and according to your pregnancy journey. Sometimes longer appointments are too much, sometimes shorter is never enough.

Billing - prenatal rmt sessions can be billed under any extended benefit plan that covers Registered Massage Therapy. We direct bill to most major insurance companies.

How to find us and book with us!

The Nest is a part of Apple Tree Maternity clinic in Nelson.

When you make an appointment with Apple Tree they will direct you to our services, or you can find us on their website.

You can also book directly through our website and online booking site.

Why is our Jane app (online booking page) called Apple Tree Orchard — because we are part of Apple Tree Clinic. Wild berry physiotherapy and The Nest are collectively called Apple Tree Orchard. We each have rooms in Apple Tree Maternity Clinic.

A bit confusing, yes. It unfortunately is and we are working to make us more accessible.

For now, hope this helps!

A lot of thought went in to naming this practice.

A lot of thought goes into creating the treatment sessions that make up the backbone of our business.

Everything is curated from our hearts and our hands.

We hope you feel this each time you visit our Nest.

The world feels intense right now.

And your postpartum body has been through a lot. It’s a major transition and life event - in every way.

Allow yourself the moments of rest as they come. Make time and prioritize rest and connection. Do what you need to do to fill your cup.

Your capacity is important for your healing, your baby, and the world around you. We are all connected.

I find it’s so easy to be hard on ourselves for an emotional outburst, when you lose your temper with your toddler. Or for the frustration that comes when you can’t sleep. But this isn’t a reflection of your fault, it’s that there are a lot of demands on you and you need to be nurtured.

Making this post is more of a reminder to myself than anything. I hope it helps someone else too.

This is Adriane! She is in the clinic while Carlie is on maternity leave.

I started seeing Adriane for massage during my second pregnancy. I can personally attest to how amazing she is!

She has a diverse background which blends to create the most nurturing experience of massage therapy. She is also a certified clinical aromatherapist and offers perinatal aromatherapy at the clinic. And she makes a wonderful line of curated products

You can read her full bio on my website www.thenestrmt.com or find the link for booking in bio!

No! Everyone is welcome.

Our community is home to many wonderful practitioners, including other midwives. You're welcome to book a treatment at The Nest , regardless of your care provider.

We focus on perinatal care - pregnancy, postpartum, and infant massage therapy. But our door is open to everyone in the community.

We see people throughout all stages of motherhood & parenthood. Some long after they have their babies!

If you're visiting Nelson from a surrounding community (maybe your partner is at a appointment or something else) why not get a massage?!

Hi, I’m Carlie. The founder and owner of The Nest Registered Massage Therapy

In 2020, when the whole world was in flux, a dear friend connected me with the incredible team at Apple Tree Maternity(you know who you are!). That connection was truly a gift during such a chaotic time, and I’ll always be grateful for it! Later that year, I found my way back home to Nelson and opened my little “Nest” tucked inside the Apple Tree Maternity Clinic.

Before returning to Nelson, I worked at the Vancouver Lymphatic Clinic, where I focused primarily on lymphatic drainage therapy interspersed with some perinatal massage therapy. I learned so much from the exceptionally skilled team at the Vancouver Lymphatic Clinic and loved my time working there. At the same time, I knew I eventually wanted to focus on perinatal massage therapy. Being in the city I was fortunate to access specialized perinatal training and education. Leaving a city full of learning opportunities wasn’t easy—but Nelson has always had my heart, and the chance to work in a maternity clinic in my hometown felt meant to be.

The Nest is where I’ve truly found my passion and life’s work. I love supporting people through the perinatal years. It’s such an honour to witness the transformation from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond—and, of course, to meet the sweetest prize on the other side: the babies! I’ve discovered a special passion for working with infants and supporting both parents and babies in my role as a massage therapist.

What an honor it is to be a part of such a wonderful community of people - in both my work as an RMT alongside so many incredible practitioners and as a parent with all of you. If you’ve made it this far, thanks for reading!

I am currently on maternity leave while the wonderful is at The Nest during my time off. You can book with her or online at appletreeorchard.janeapp.com

Welcome to The Nest ! 🫶
