Selecting a massage therapist with advanced prenatal training is essential for ensuring both safety and comfort during pregnancy. Prenatal-certified therapists understand the unique physical and energetic needs of each trimester, from supporting lymphatic flow and easing tension to creating a deeply relaxing and restorative environment for both mother and baby.
This is why I not only choose Rainforest Day Spa’s meticulously trained massage therapists for my own healing needs, but I also confidently recommend them for all of my clients, pregnant or not. Their skill, intention, and ability to support the body through every stage of life make them an invaluable part of a well-rounded wellness journey.

Floatation therapy can be incredibly supportive during pregnancy because the weightless environment helps relieve pressure on the hips, back, joints, and pelvic floor. Many expecting mothers love the deep relaxation, stress relief, and gentle sensory quiet that floating provides.
While I know plenty of people who absolutely love the float pods, I’ll be honest, I’m personally not a fan of the pod style. Even though I’m only 5’2”, I bounce off the walls and start feeling claustrophobic and anxious.
What I do love are float rooms, which offer the same benefits without feeling enclosed. The one time I truly experienced that calming sensory-deprivation effect was in a float room, and it was incredible.
We’re fortunate to have a beautiful float room option right down the street from the spa at
Salt For Your Soul Wellness Center.
They also offer halotherapy in their Himalayan salt rooms, which many people find deeply relaxing, supportive for breathing, and perfect for a calming prenatal wellness ritual.
