F.A.Q.

Frequently asked questions about Prenatal Massage in Santorini

How is prenatal massage different to regular massage?2024-02-01T23:31:20+02:00

Prenatal massage is specifically designed for pregnant women to address their unique needs and concerns. It focuses on providing relief from the physical discomforts and emotional stress that pregnancy can bring. Regular massage, on the other hand, is not tailored to the specific needs of pregnant women.

What position will I be in during a prenatal massage?2024-02-01T23:52:28+02:00

During a prenatal massage, you will be in a side-lying position with pillows for support, which provides the most stability for the baby and is also most comfortable for you.

According to the American Pregnancy Association,it’s important to note that tables with a designated hole for the uterus may not be entirely reliable. Despite their design, these tables can still exert pressure on the abdomen or leave it suspended, potentially leading to uncomfortable stretching of the uterine ligaments.

Which massage oils do you use in prenatal massage?2024-02-01T23:20:03+02:00

It is recommended to use natural and unscented oils in prenatal massage, such as coconut oil, almond oil, or sesame oil for prenatal massage.

Is prenatal massage safe throughout the entire pregnancy?2024-02-02T00:10:28+02:00

Yes, prenatal massage is generally safe throughout the entire pregnancy. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure it is appropriate for your specific situation. At Soma Rei Wellness we avoid offer massage at the first trimester because we want to avoid any liability due to the increased risk of miscarriage during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Do you use essential oils during prenatal massage?2024-03-01T00:45:39+02:00

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.

Can I receive massage therapy after birth (postpartum massage)?2024-02-01T23:21:34+02:00

Certainly! According to the American Pregnancy Association, postpartum individuals generally can receive massage therapy as long as they feel comfortable doing so. However, it is recommended to consult with your perinatal healthcare provider before proceeding.

Postpartum Massage offers various benefits for new mothers, including: relief from discomfort, stress reduction, hormonal balance, reduced swelling, increased circulation, emotional support, muscle recovery and improved sleep.

What to expect during a prenatal massage in Santorini?2026-01-27T21:49:41+02:00

A prenatal massage with Soma Rei is a gentle, pregnancy-aware session designed to support comfort, relaxation, and a calmer nervous system—without intense pressure or “pushy” techniques.

Here’s what typically happens:

  • A short check-in first
    We’ll ask how far along you are, how you’re feeling that day, and what areas feel tense (lower back, hips, shoulders, legs, swelling, sleep tension).
  • A calm in-room mobile setup
    We bring everything: table, fresh linens, pillows/bolsters, and a clean, quiet setup—so you don’t need to travel anywhere.
  • Comfortable positioning (no uncomfortable lying flat)
    Most of the time you’ll be side-lying with supportive pillows, or positioned in a way that keeps breathing easy and the body relaxed.
  • Gentle, tailored pressure
    The work is slow, soothing, and adapted to pregnancy—focused on relieving everyday strain, not “deep digging.” You can always ask for lighter or firmer (within safe limits).
  • Pregnancy-safe products
    We use pregnancy-appropriate oils
  • You stay in control
    You can pause, change position, ask for more/less pressure, or avoid any area at any time.
