Being pregnant is a tender and fragile time for woman, as much as is a beautiful and glorious time. Just because you’re caring a baby does not mean life stops, in fact it means you have a zillion things to think about and do. In the hustle, bustle of pregnant life what you need is regular prenatal massages to relax your body and uplift your mind. I’m going to share 7 things to look for in a day spa in New York City that is perfect for a pregnant women looking for the best prenatal massage day spa in New York City.

1. It goes without saying that the first thing you want to look for is great reviews from past clients. The more reviews they have and the more high quality they are, the better. Look for only spas that have 4.8 Stars or up on Google or 4.5 or 5 Stars on Yelp. If you have to travel an extra 10 minutes because the spa is located further away, I can assure you its worth it. Usually the difference between a 4 or 4.5 star spa and a 4.9 and 5 star reviews spa is day and night. Once you have picked one or two that have great reviews, it’s time to move on to the next aspect to look for.

2. Being pregnant means easy access. Unfortunately, some spas can be in walk ups or the second floor of a commercial building where you have to take a bunch of stairs. No need for that. Look for a spa that is either on the ground floor or is in an elevator building.

3. It’s always great to look for a spa that gives you these three options: a spa that does prenatal massage, a spa that does couples massage and a spa that does four handed massage. This was you can even go to the spa with your husband and boyfriend as well as be in the same room. You can also get a 4 handed massage if you’re feeling very tired.

4. Look for a spa that offers 50 / 60 minutes as well as 80 / 90 minute sessions. This way if you would like to avail of an extended session they have you covered.

5. Another key element to look for when you pick a spa for prenatal massage is the have a relaxing serenity or tranquility room where you can relax after your service. The last thing you want is what seems like a doctors reception area. You want a room where you can sit and enjoy a cup of green tea or sparkling cider and maybe read a book or just chill for a few minutes before you head out into the craziness of New York City.

6. It goes without saying that you want experienced therapists doing your prenatal massage. Do not hesitate to request the most experienced prenatal massage therapist to do your service.

7. Last but not the least, look for a spa that is reasonably priced because your insurance may not cover these treatments and you may want to go a few times during your pregnancy. Any spa that has prenatal massage treatments between $120-$160 would be considered reasonable.
