Prenatal Massage – Because Mama, You Deserve to Feel Good 🧡

Pregnancy is beautiful… but let’s be honest, it can also be hard on your body.

From swelling and soreness to restless nights and emotional ups and downs — your body is going through a lot.

That’s where prenatal massage can make all the difference.

- Helps relieve aches and tension
- Supports healthy circulation and reduces swelling
- Reduces stress + helps regulate hormones
- Can improve sleep and boost your mood

Every mama deserves support — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — and this is one small way to care for you while you care for your baby.

📅 Now booking prenatal massage sessions — message Katra for details or to claim your spot!

How Stress Affects the Body - from Katra 🧡

​Have you ever felt so stressed that you are not necessarily sure how to function?

What does your body do when you feel stressed?

For most people their bodies tighten, their shoulders go up, necks shrink down, and their jaws clamp shut. Those are just the responses that you can see or feel, for a lot of people it can also increase their heart rate and blood pressure, it can cause headaches, fatigue, and digestive issues as well.

​Being chronically stressed out can have a detrimental impact on our bodies long term. Which is why massage can be beneficial. By taking the time to allow someone to loosen and release some of your muscle tension or having a space where you can just exist in silence and just be. You are allowing your body a chance to recalibrate and let go of just a little bit of that stress. Which can help ease your mind, promote better sleep, and ease some of the strain from your muscles.

Welcome to Massage By Katra, which has been created to help lessen the stresses and pains that come from being new parents. There are many changes that come from being a new parent such as new aches and pains that you haven't had before, or just needing a few moments of silence to recharge before tackling the next hurdle.

After having my little one I realized that I needed more massages as my body got used to carrying my son, or just needing a little bit of time to just be. Not me saying that we don't want and love our little one, but that we occasionally need breaks, and sometimes it is hard to ask for that much needed respite.

Whether a new parent, a busy professional, or just wanting time to relax. I want to be able to help you reach your massage goals.

I provide:
30-120 minute Swedish or deep tissue massages
60 minute prenatal massages (either side lying or with a prenatal bolster)
30 minute chair massages (single or with a group)
