Portland Prenatal Massage

Comfort through pregnancy & motherhood.

Hi! I'm Julia Donaldson, licensed massage therapist since 2014 and the mother of two young, beautiful children.

Having my children changed my life, and not just literally. Since becoming a mother, I feel a deep sense of connection with other moms, their babies, and their birth stories. Being a massage therapist, I’ve found my calling in working with women though pregnancy & motherhood.

​There are many places that offer pregnancy massage, but they are not specialists. I am. I've been extensively trained and certified in prenatal and postpartum massage. My practice revolves solely, and completely around women before, during, and after the childbearing year. It’s a joy, and honor to give them the best possible massage, and experience on their journey.

Many therapists are uncomfortable working with pregnant women, which makes for an UNCOMFORTABLE massage! Here's where I differ: I don't just offer cookie cutter "pregnancy massage", which makes mamas wait till 2nd trimester, tiptoes around low back and hip work, foot massage, and ONLY does side-lying massage (my mamas can lie FACE DOWN on special orthopedic cushions). It's my privilege to dispel the myths of pregnancy and massage, and help you feel good, hurt less, and sleep better.
