Prenatal Massage: For Mama & Baby

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it often comes with its fair share of physical and emotional challenges… from back pain and swelling to hormonal changes and stress. Prenatal massage is a gentle, nurturing therapy designed specifically to support the unique needs of expectant mothers during pregnancy.

When is it safe? Prenatal massage is typically considered safe starting from the second trimester (after the 13th week of pregnancy), with the approval of the client’s OB-GYN or healthcare provider. At Avan, we require that approval to be shown before any treatment. Our massage is offered from the 6th month until the middle of the 9th month, depending on individual health and pregnancy progression.

Benefits include:

  • Relief from lower back pain, muscle tension, and joint discomfort

  • Reduced swelling in the feet, legs, and hands

  • Improved circulation and better sleep quality

  • Reduction in stress hormones like cortisol, improving mood and emotional well-being

  • Safe positioning with special maternity cushions and side-lying techniques to avoid pressure on the abdomen

At Avan, our licensed therapists are specially trained in prenatal techniques, ensuring that every treatment is both deeply relaxing and aligned with the highest standards of maternal care.

Because you and your baby deserve the gentlest, safest touch.


Balinese Massage: Aromatic Deep Relaxation

Balinese massage is a luxurious full-body treatment rooted in the healing traditions of Bali, Indonesia. It’s a deeply relaxing yet effective massage, perfect for relieving physical tension and promoting mental clarity.

What to Expect at Avan:

  • Your experience begins with a calming ritual: the therapist joins you on the massage bed, performing full-body stretches to gently open up the joints and muscles.

  • A hot towel is then used to cleanse the feet and soothe muscles before the massage begins.

  • The technique moves through light, medium, and firm pressure, customized to your comfort and focus areas.

  • Long, flowing strokes are used in combination with aromatic essential oils, creating a multi-sensory experience that helps calm the nervous system.

Benefits Include:

  • Relieves muscle knots, especially in the back and shoulders

  • Perfect post-workout recovery or for tension from stress and poor posture

  • Improves blood and lymphatic circulation, helping detoxify the body

  • Boosts emotional well-being and deep relaxation through touch and scent

  • Restores energy flow and spiritual balance, following traditional Balinese principles

Whether you’re an athlete in need of recovery, or simply someone longing for an immersive, therapeutic escape, this massage offers the best of both physical and holistic wellness.


Lomi Lomi Massage: Hawaiian Healing Touch

Lomi Lomi, meaning “to knead, to rub, or soothe” in Hawaiian, is more than a massage; it’s a healing ritual passed down through generations in Polynesian and Hawaiian culture. Known for its gentle, flowing movements, this technique is ideal for those who seek emotional release, spiritual grounding, and pure relaxation without deep pressure.

What to Expect at Avan:

  • Lomi Lomi is performed using the forearms and hands in long, continuous strokes, often gliding over multiple areas of the body in a single motion, like the rhythm of ocean waves.

  • It’s designed to be intuitively nurturing, very light in pressure, and deeply meditative.

  • The treatment is often accompanied by intentional breathing and calming music to enhance the mind-body-spirit connection.

Key Benefits:

  • Releases emotional tension and energy blockages in the body

  • Improves lymphatic drainage and supports gentle detoxification

  • Enhances digestion and circulation

  • Provides a calming reset for the nervous system, helping reduce anxiety and stress

This massage is perfect for those who don’t like deep or painful pressure and simply want to let go, reset, and be held in a space of total peace.

At Avan, Lomi Lomi is offered as a soul-soothing experience, ideal for anyone feeling overwhelmed or out of balance.


Reflexology: Foot-Focused Wellness

Did you know your feet contain over 7,000 nerve endings? Reflexology is based on the concept that specific points on the feet correspond to organs and systems in the body.

Benefits of foot reflexology include:

  • Stress reduction and mental clarity

  • Improved circulation and immune response

  • Support for digestive and hormonal balance

  • Relief from headaches, sinus pressure, or menstrual pain

It’s the perfect option for those who prefer a non-invasive, focused therapy without full-body massage.
