I have been very fortunate this pregnancy to have many things go my way in terms of health and being able to appreciate the generosity of others. I was contacted by Spa Week Daily last week to see if I would be interested in a prenatal massage at a spa in Denver. The only catch is that they wanted me to share the experience with my readers and as many pregnant people in the Denver area as possible for their April 12-18 Spa Week Event.
Sure, I’ll go to a spa for a massage, you don’t have to ask me twice.
The spa is located in a sweet part of LODO with Coors Field a couple of blocks away and in view of the front door. As soon as I entered they were ready for me. Right after the receptionist handed me the intake paperwork she was around her desk taking my coat and placing a hot neck wrap on me. The massage therapist I was working with that day, Ketty, came out to greet me and give me water. She also gave me a pointer when I was selecting the music I would listen to during my session, do not check the box that says “nature” because it includes water sounds. This could be problematic for us pregnant ladies with our need for frequent bathroom breaks.
Ketty led me to the room we would be using where it was already dark with music playing. She left as I got undressed and on the table to position myself with bolsters and sheets. The table was heated, the soft sheets were warm. When she entered she then wrapped about three hot towels on each of my feet. I could have melted on the table from that experience alone.
She spent 30 minutes working with me face up. Since I didn’t feel pregnancy soreness she gave me the option of spending extra time massaging my face and scalp. She also uncovered that my quads were a little worked from a hike the day before. I was then positioned sideline on both sides for 15 minutes each which included work on my hamstrings, glutes, and back. The massage was really nice, I kept going in and out, almost sleeping because I was so chill. The warm pads placed over my eyes added to that zoning out.
I have a lot of respect for the therapist. She genuinely enjoys working with new moms and pregnant women. One of her services that really intrigues me is the Infant Massage class you can do with your partner to learn how to massage your infant. I think that will be a perfect present for my husband after our baby is born.
However that is at least 14 weeks down the road. For now I hope I can impress on any pregnant women in the area to check out Elixir Mind Body Massage for your prenatal needs. Take advantage of the 60 minute Prenatal Massage Spa Week special for $50. Also for non-pregnant people their regular Elixir Massage will be $50 during this week. Look at their menu of services for descriptions of both treatments.
