Prenatal massage in Utah County.
Safe, soothing pregnancy massage at Soleil Spa in Pleasant Grove — performed by licensed massage therapists, with proper side-lying positioning and bolstering. For the low back, the hips, the swelling, and the hour you’ve earned to just breathe.
Pregnancy asks a lot of your body. As your center of gravity shifts, your low back and hips take the load, your feet and ankles swell, and sleeping through the night becomes its own project. A prenatal massage in Utah County gives you a break your body actually needs — an hour of pressure eased off the places that carry it, in a position that keeps both you and your baby comfortable and safe.
Prenatal massage at Soleil is performed by our licensed massage therapists using pregnancy-safe techniques and proper positioning. This isn’t a regular massage with a few tweaks. It’s a session built around where you are in your pregnancy, what’s aching, and what’s safe at this stage. Expecting moms come to us from Pleasant Grove and across Utah County — Lindon, American Fork, Orem, Highland — for prenatal massage in Pleasant Grove, Utah that meets them where they are.
What prenatal massage helps with
Every pregnancy is different, and your therapist will focus the session on what’s bothering you most that day. Here’s what expecting moms most often come in for:
Low back and hip pain
As your belly grows and posture shifts, the low back, hips, and glutes carry the extra load. Prenatal massage eases the tension and aching that build up in these areas, especially in the second and third trimester.
Swelling in the legs and feet
Fluid retention is one of the most common complaints later in pregnancy. Gentle work on the legs and feet can help reduce puffiness and leave you feeling lighter and more comfortable on your feet.
Neck, shoulder, and upper-back tension
Between changing posture and the everyday stress of preparing for a baby, tension settles in the shoulders and neck. A prenatal session releases the tightness that lighter stretching alone can’t reach.
Sleep and stress relief
Pregnancy sleep is hard-won. By calming the nervous system and easing physical discomfort, prenatal massage helps many moms rest better in the days after a session — and simply feel more like themselves.
Tired, aching legs
Carrying extra weight all day takes a toll on the legs. Soothing, pregnancy-safe strokes improve how your legs feel and give you a genuine break from being on your feet.
A moment that’s just yours
So much of pregnancy is about preparing for someone else. A prenatal massage is an hour where the only thing you have to do is lie there and breathe — something moms tell us they didn’t know how much they needed.
You are carrying enough. For one hour, let someone carry a little of it for you — safely, gently, with hands that know what your body needs right now.
The Soleil approach
Safe positioning and proper bolstering
The single most important thing about prenatal massage is how you’re positioned. As your pregnancy progresses, lying flat on your back or face-down isn’t comfortable or recommended. That’s why prenatal massage at Soleil uses side-lying positioning with proper bolstering — pillows and supports placed to cradle your belly, take pressure off your low back, and keep you and your baby comfortable the entire session. Here’s how it compares to a standard massage:
Standard Massage
Face-down and face-up
A typical massage moves you between lying face-down and face-up on a flat table. That’s ideal for most bodies, but it isn’t recommended or comfortable as pregnancy progresses, and it doesn’t account for pressure points and techniques best avoided during pregnancy.
Prenatal Massage
Side-lying with bolstering
You rest on your side, supported by pillows and bolsters that cradle your belly and relieve your low back and hips. Your LMT uses pregnancy-safe techniques and avoids areas and pressure points not recommended during pregnancy, adjusting to your comfort throughout.
Because prenatal massage is performed by our Licensed Massage Therapists, you’re in the hands of someone trained to keep the session both effective and safe. If you’re weighing LMT versus apprentice sessions for other services, you can read more on our massage therapy page — but for prenatal, we keep you with an LMT.
What to expect at your appointment
If it’s your first prenatal massage, or your first visit to Soleil, here’s how the appointment runs from start to finish so you can show up relaxed instead of guessing.
01
Arrive 10 minutes early
First-time clients fill out a brief intake covering how far along you are, how your pregnancy has been, any complications, and where you’re carrying the most discomfort.
02
Chat with your LMT
Your Licensed Massage Therapist reviews your intake, confirms your trimester, asks about any provider guidance, and talks through what to focus on before you begin.
03
Positioning & bolstering
You undress to your comfort level and are fully draped. Your therapist sets you up in side-lying position with pillows and bolsters so your belly, back, and hips are supported.
04
The session
Gentle, pregnancy-safe work on your back, hips, legs, shoulders, and wherever you need it most. Speak up anytime about pressure, temperature, or comfort — it’s your session.
05
After
A few minutes to sit up slowly, get dressed, and grab water at the front. Your therapist may suggest gentle stretches or a cadence for coming back as your pregnancy progresses.
Why expecting moms choose Soleil in Pleasant Grove
Not every spa is set up to do prenatal massage well. Here’s what moms across Utah County tell us keeps them coming back to Soleil:
Performed by licensed therapists
Prenatal massage at Soleil is done by our Licensed Massage Therapists, trained in pregnancy-safe technique — not improvised from a regular massage.
Proper positioning and support
Side-lying positioning with real bolstering, set up around your belly and back so you stay comfortable and supported the whole session.
A genuinely calm space
Soft lighting, quiet music, and a Pleasant Grove studio that actually feels like a spa. The kind of environment that lets you fully let go for an hour.
We screen for safety
We ask about your trimester, your pregnancy, and any provider guidance at intake, so the session is tailored to keep you and your baby safe.
A full menu, one location
Pair your prenatal massage with a facial or head spa in the same visit — or book a couples massage for a shared pre-baby reset.
Easy to reach across Utah County
Central to Lindon, American Fork, Highland, Cedar Hills, and Orem, with free parking and ground-floor access — no stairs to navigate.
Session length and pricing
Prenatal massage is available in 60 and 90 minute sessions, performed by a Licensed Massage Therapist. A 60-minute session is plenty for most moms; 90 minutes gives your therapist time to work the low back, hips, and legs thoroughly without rushing.
Current pricing is shown on the booking page when you go to schedule. Pricing changes from time to time, so we keep the live rate at the booking link rather than listing it here.
Many moms come in every few weeks through the second and third trimester as discomfort builds, then a little more often as the due date approaches. Your therapist can help you figure out a cadence that fits how you’re feeling and how far along you are.
Frequently asked questions
Is prenatal massage safe?
Prenatal massage is safe and beneficial for most pregnancies in the second and third trimester. Our Licensed Massage Therapists use side-lying positioning, avoid pressure points and techniques not recommended during pregnancy, and screen for contraindications at intake. If you have a high-risk pregnancy or any complications, please clear massage with your OB or midwife first.
When can I start getting prenatal massage?
Most clients begin in the second trimester, once the higher-sensitivity early weeks have passed, and continue through the third. First-trimester clients are welcome with a written go-ahead from their OB or midwife. If you’re unsure whether it’s the right time, ask your provider — and feel free to call us with questions before you book.
How will I be positioned during the massage?
You’ll rest on your side, supported by pillows and bolsters placed to cradle your belly and relieve your low back and hips. We don’t have you lie flat on your back or face-down as pregnancy progresses, since that isn’t comfortable or recommended. Your therapist adjusts the setup until you’re genuinely comfortable before starting.
Who performs the prenatal massage?
Prenatal massage at Soleil is performed by a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) trained in pregnancy-safe technique. While we offer apprentice sessions for some other services, we keep prenatal massage with our licensed therapists so you’re in experienced hands the whole way through.
Do I need a note from my doctor or midwife?
For a healthy second- or third-trimester pregnancy, you don’t need a written note. First-trimester clients and anyone with a high-risk pregnancy or complications should get a go-ahead from their OB or midwife first. We also screen for contraindications at intake and will let you know if anything comes up.
How often should I get a prenatal massage?
It depends on how you’re feeling. Many moms come every few weeks through the second and third trimester as discomfort builds, then more often as the due date approaches. There’s no set schedule — your therapist can help you find a cadence that fits your body and your pregnancy.
Can my partner and I book together?
Yes. We can pair your pregnancy-safe prenatal massage with a standard session for your partner in the same room — a nice reset before the baby arrives. Just let us know at booking so we can set up positioning and bolstering properly. See our couples massage page for details.
