At Soma Rei Wellness  we do not use essential oils during prenatal massage. Instead, we exclusively use base oils such as almond oil and sesame oil. These oils are chosen for their gentle and nourishing properties, providing a safe and comfortable experience for expectant mothers. The decision to avoid essential oils is rooted in ensuring the well-being of both the mother and the baby, as some essential oils may have contraindications during pregnancy. Our approach prioritizes the use of natural and neutral base oils to promote relaxation and alleviate tension without introducing any potential risks associated with certain essential oils.
Sesame oil, particularly is rich in vitamin E and is highly beneficial for addressing stretch marks during pregnancy.
Plant-based oils like wheat germ oil, sweet almond oil, and jojoba oil provide hydration and promote healthy skin elasticity. These natural oils are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce discomfort and swelling during pregnancy.
