A specialist pregnancy massage in Leeds City Centre using safe positioning and gentle techniques to ease muscle tension, reduce stress and support better sleep during pregnancy.
Pregnancy massage in Leeds is a specialist treatment designed specifically for the changing needs of the pregnant body. Using gentle, mindful techniques and safe side-lying positioning with a supportive maternity cushion, our prenatal massage helps ease the muscle aches, back discomfort, swollen ankles, hip tension and anxiety that often come with pregnancy. At Dragonfly Skin Day Spa in Leeds City Centre, our Maternity Body Ritual is available as a 60-minute or 90-minute treatment, available from 12 weeks onwards.
Pregnancy massage offers a range of benefits during the second and third trimesters, when the body is under the most physical strain. Regular sessions can help ease lower back and hip pain, reduce swelling in the legs and feet, improve circulation, calm anxiety and pregnancy-related stress, support better sleep, and lift overall mood. Many of our guests visit fortnightly or monthly throughout pregnancy as part of their self-care routine. It's a quiet, restorative hour where the focus is entirely on you.
Pregnancy massage is widely considered safe and beneficial when performed by a therapist trained in prenatal massage, using appropriate positioning and adapted techniques. At Dragonfly Skin, we only offer pregnancy massage after your 12-week scan, use a specialist maternity support cushion for safe side-lying positioning, and adapt every treatment to your trimester and individual needs. We do not use deep tissue pressure, hot stones, or essential oils that are unsuitable during pregnancy. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, or any concerns, please consult your midwife or healthcare professional before booking. We're happy to discuss your situation with you before your appointment.
Our Maternity Body Ritual is available as 60 or 90 minutes. Most expectant mothers choose 90 minutes for full coverage of back, hips, legs and shoulders - the areas under most strain during pregnancy. Allow 10 minutes extra for arrival and consultation.
Pregnancy massage at Dragonfly Skin starts from £105 for 60 minutes and £145 for 90 minutes. Gift cards are available and make a thoughtful gift for expectant mothers.
We offer pregnancy massage from 12 weeks onwards, after your first scan. Treatment can continue safely through the second and third trimesters until birth. We recommend checking with your midwife or healthcare professional before your first session, especially if you have any health concerns.

Our therapists are trained in prenatal massage and we use a specialist maternity cushion for safe side-lying positioning. We adapt every treatment to your individual trimester and needs.
We use safe side-lying positioning with a specially designed maternity support cushion. This protects you and your baby, takes pressure off your back and hips, and keeps you comfortable throughout the treatment. You will never be asked to lie flat on your back or stomach.
Yes - back pain is one of the most common reasons expectant mothers book pregnancy massage. Our trained therapists work gently on the lower back, hips, and shoulders to ease the tension and strain that come with carrying extra weight and changes in posture during pregnancy.
We don't offer pregnancy massage in the first trimester (before 12 weeks) as a general safety precaution. After your 12-week scan, you're welcome to book. If you have specific medical reasons to wait longer, please consult your midwife before booking.
Pregnancy massage may not be suitable if you have a high-risk pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, recent bleeding, or other medical concerns. Please consult your midwife or healthcare professional before booking, and let us know about any conditions when you book.
Many expectant mothers book fortnightly or monthly sessions throughout pregnancy, particularly during the second and third trimesters when physical strain increases. Your therapist can advise on a schedule that suits your needs.
Your therapist will give you privacy to undress to your comfort level - most guests undress to underwear, but you can keep as much on as you'd like. Disposable underwear is available if preferred. You'll be covered with towels throughout, with only the area being worked on exposed.
