Is It Safe to Get a Massage While Pregnant?
Yes. Massage therapy is safe at any point during pregnancy when provided by someone who understands how to adapt care for pregnancy-related conditions. Our RMTs and non-registered therapists have experience working with pregnant individuals and will tailor your treatment with your safety and comfort in mind.
You can receive massage as early as your first trimester and continue all the way to your due date.
Acupuncture During Pregnancy
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has supported women through pregnancy and postpartum for thousands of years. It views this time not just as a physical transition but as a powerful window for strengthening the overall health and well-being of both mother and baby. In many parts of the world acupuncture is now widely offered in prenatal clinics and maternity hospitals as a safe, natural part of pregnancy care.
At Compass Mobile Therapeutics, we offer mobile prenatal acupuncture treatments that come to your home. Our practitioners are trained to support common pregnancy symptoms, prepare your body for labour, and offer care that aligns with your changing needs through each trimester.
Prenatal Acupuncture Can Support:

Nausea, vomiting, and morning sickness

Digestive issues like bloating or constipation

Fatigue and insomnia

Headaches or migraines

Anxiety, stress, or emotional fluctuations

Back pain, hip pain, and pelvic tension

Breech presentation (with moxibustion therapy)

Birth preparation in the final weeks

Labour induction when appropriate
We adapt each session based on your stage of pregnancy, symptoms, and goals, whether you’re looking for relief from discomfort or support for a smoother birth experience. Acupuncture is gentle, low-risk, and highly individualized. Your treatment may include needles, cupping, gentle bodywork, or moxibustion (a warming technique using dried mugwort to stimulate specific points).
Your comfort, safety, and informed consent are always our top priorities. Whether you are new to acupuncture or already familiar with its benefits, we will walk you through every step of your treatment and make sure you feel relaxed and at ease.
