Excellent prenatal massage, went to see several practitioners in Seattle and Emmas massage was the best by far. Very relaxing, she exactly knew where to press harder and where more gentle. You wont regret booking the session with her!

I got a massage as a birthday gift from my friend! I gave birth just a few days after receiving the gift voucher so waited until about 2 months postpartum to get the massage and it was wonderful and much needed! Would recommend!

TLDR: I highly recommend Emma for both her massage and doula services. She is extremely good at what she does - knowledgeable, professional, kind and creates a safe space for pregnant people and their families. Hiring her as a doula was the best decision we made!Massage: I started seeing her for pregnancy related pain in my third trimester and it was truly a game changer for my mobility in those last few months. I had seen a couple of other prenatal massage therapists and Emma was by far the best, both in terms of body work and also the environment. The massage bed she uses is incredibly comfortable for side lying massage with pillows specifically designed to support alignment and comfort while on the table (other places I went just used regular pillows and Emma’s setup made a big difference for comfort). She is also very cautious and considerate about implementing COVID safety protocols and is vaccinated, which I really appreciated as a pregnant person at higher risk. She is deeply knowledgeable about the pregnant body and seeing her helped me be as mobile and pain-free as possible leading up to delivery. She books up quickly so I would recommend booking multiple appointments out early! I didn’t do this and was kicking myself for a few weeks :) Although she was awesome and was able to get me in last minute a few times off her cancellation list. Her prices are extremely reasonable for the market and she provided me with invoices that I was able to submit to my insurance company for reimbursement. I have been seeing her for postpartum massage since delivery and she is so considerate about different needs for the post partum body (back/shoulder mobility from nursing and lifting, positioning on the table to accommodate recovery, etc). As a doula client, I also receive a discount on prenatal and postpartum massages.Doula services: My husband and I were so grateful to have Emma as our birth doula! We felt so well supported from the moment we signed up with her. She is deeply familiar with labor and delivery practices across Seattle hospitals/birth centers and was able to prepare us for what to expect and how L&D were being managed during COVID. We had two virtual meetings prior to delivery (I think these are usually done in person but we did virtually because of the pandemic): the first to talk through our birth preferences, plan and learn about the process and discuss ways that we feel supported; the second was a postpartum/newborn preparation session. Both were incredibly helpful and gave us a safe space to ask all of the questions (big and small) that we had going into delivery and postpartum as first time parents. She linked us to great evidence-based resources, suggested different ways to prepare for birth (eg, spinning babies), helped us think through our birth plan (and then prioritize when labor went in a completely different direction), and identify questions to ask our OB before, during and after labor. During labor, she struck the right balance of providing physical/emotional support and giving space when needed. When we got to critical decision points, she helped us feel empowered to ask questions, request time for decision making and think through our next steps. She captured incredible photos during our unexpected c-section and supported us both through that experience by telling us what to expect from start to finish and being there for us (holding my hand while husband went with baby and supporting me emotionally). Postpartum, she checked in regularly to answer questions, see how we were doing as a family and connect us to resources. We are so grateful to Emma for her support and cannot recommend her highly enough!!!!

I have been a client of Emmas for about 4 months as I have been seeing her for massages and reflexology to support my pregnancy. I see her about every 3 weeks to help make sure I feel as good as possible as I get further along in my pregnancy. Her massages are great and I always feel so good at the end of our appointments. She is super professional and takes the current pandemic and safety protocols very seriously. I would highly recommend seeing her to help you feel your best during pregnancy and I plan to see her postpartum as well.

I cannot share enough level of feedback that speaks to the incredible job Emma, at Seattle Pregnancy Massage, does as a professional.I received a gift certificate from a family member while I was entering my second trimester of my first pregnancy for a massage and after my first visit, I became a loyal client.I am so appreciative of being under the care of someone with so much knowledge and expertise, for the incredible work she does to help with the inevitable body discomfort on the body, during and after pregnancy. Each time I go for a massage I leave so relieved and feeling totally restored.Not enough stars to rate this incredible place. Super happy I found it!

Emma was essential in making us feel confident someone had our backs during labor. She has a lot of experience and is very well equipped. Her peaceful and serene manner was very helpful and she fantastic in helping me manage my pain. Plus, she’s very knowledgeable and well informed on all things labor and delivery. I would highly recommend her doula services!

I’ve used Emma religiously during both of my pregnancies for prenatal massage and highly recommend her. I love her easy online booking, her awesome bed set up (trust me most places do prenatal massage wrong!) where all the pillows are in the right places, her attentiveness, and you can alway hit her up for pregnancy/birth advice/chatting while you are getting your kinks worked out. I’ve seen a lot of massage therapists and quite a few prenatal folks and she is by far the best. She is knowledgeable about pregnancy related body issues and knows how to get you feeling extra supported and comfortable on the table throughout your pregnancy. Plus her monthly massage deal is a good discount and signing up for a monthly deal makes sure you treat yourself on a regular basis.

Emma is attentive, thoughtful and diligent with each of her clients. I got weekly prenatal massages from Emma and she always made sure to check in before each session about what areas of my body needed work. She is extremely intuitive and knew just the right amount of pressure to apply and when to ease off, before I even had to say anything. I would highly recommend Emma for your massage needs!

Fantastic prenatal massage. It’s hard to get comfortable when you’re super pregnant, but Emma made me feel so relaxed and so much better! I definitely recommend her.

Emma was amazing. After a traumatic first birth with our daughter, and no guidance to help us through, my husband and I were very nervous (to say the least) going into delivery number 2. Emma immediately calmed our nerves, and answered all of our questions with patience, thought, and experience. Leading up to delivery, Emma checked in regularly to see how we were progressing, and how we were feeling. When the big day came, Emma was easily reachable, and very calm and reassuring. She arrived to the hospital promptly after we did, and stuck with us the whole time. She made all hospital staff aware of my concerns, so that I wouldn’t have to exert myself explaining my previous experience. From the moment she stepped in the room, all staff took extra care to ensure my experience was a completely different one — and it absolutely was. We will not be having anymore children, but if we were, we would absolutely be working with Emma once again.

Emma is so warm and inviting. Her deep knowledge of the body all comes through in her massage. Ive been seeing her since I was 12 weeks pregnant and have continued to see her postpartum. Shes great and in writing this review Ive just been reminded to book another appt! See you soon, Emma!

We met Emma via the Swedish Hospital Doula Program and what an incredible find she was! We wanted to bring our first child into the world with as few interventions and medications as possible and heard that using a doula was the way to go. We cannot recommend Emma more highly! She has a warm, open personality and our family immediately connected with her and felt extremely comfortable in her presence. Her support before, during, and after the birth of our son was everything we had hoped it would be. It was very comforting knowing that there was someone other than my husband and me to communicate our desires with the hospital staff. Her work as a pregnancy massage therapist was also a wonderful addition and support, especially in the later days of the pregnancy. We have already recommended Emma to friends and will definitely use her again! Emma is worth every penny and then some!

Emma is wonderful and so are her massages. She has all the equipment you need to be completely comfortable during all stages of pregnancy. Her massage definitely helped make those last months of pregnancy much more comfortable. Do not hesitate to treat yourself to one of her incredible massages.

Emma is amazing for prenatal massage. She has multiple options for body support to enable the most comfortable experience. I always left feeling relaxed and relieved from pregnancy related aches and pains. Id highly recommend her to anyone looking for massage for relief of pregnancy related symptoms or for relaxation and stress relief.

Going to Emma at Seattle Pregnancy Massage has been one of the best things Ive done for myself during my pregnancy! Emma is a wealth of knowledge and truly cares about her clients. I always feel great after going to her and she really listens to any concerns you have and works to address those issues during your massage.

Emma is such an experienced, calm, and supportive doula. Leading up to the birth, she gave us a lot of great information to help us prepare for labor and for newborn care. During labor, we had to make a few major, urgent decisions for my care and for my baby, and having Emma’s input and guidance helped my husband and I feel so much more confident during such a vulnerable time. Her presence also allowed my husband to focus on connecting with and caring for me, while Emma jumped in and did whatever needed to be done to keep me moving and as comfortable as possible, including helping the nurses out at key moments. My husband and I agreed that having Emma as our doula was the best decision we made for ensuring a positive birth experience.

Emma is absolutely fantastic. She has this awesome massage setup that allows you to get comfortable, even when youre giant pregnant. And her massage is great, I always left feeling relaxed and refreshed. I highly recommend visiting Emma during your pregnancy!

Emma is a fantastic massage therapist. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She is diligent and kind with an incredible amount of knowledge and experience. I was lucky have had the pleasure of seeing Emma throughout my pregnancy and every visit made a huge improvement on my well being.

My sister in law bought me 3 pregnancy massages, Emma was awesome! I really loved her energy, her attention, the room and facility was convenient, all around great pregnancy massage!

Emma is professional, warm and such an expert. She helped me through terrible back pain during my second pregnancy and increased by overall sense of well being. I highly recommend her services!

Emma has an exceptional knowledge of anatomy in her practice as both a massage therapist and doula. She is compassionate and thoughtful and a fount of knowledge. A deeply skilled massage therapist, she is also a pleasure to talk to, and her studio is bright and welcoming.

Let me start by saying that this review is not commentary on Emma’s proficiency and skill as it comes to body work — based on the rave reviews and the fact that she came highly recommended to me by a friend in the field strongly indicates, to me, that her work is excellent, and I do not wish to speak negatively on that.Secondly, I am hoping that my experience was, perhaps, an anomaly, but it’s been sitting with me and I feel the need to share because the experience has impacted me (in a sensitive, uncomfortable time at that). This is more related to customer service as opposed to anything else.I booked an appointment mid-December and the earliest appointments available were about four weeks out, so I picked a time that seemed kismet— the day before my baby shower; I had entered my third trimester and it has been a painful experience full of bodily discomfort; I figured “a massage right before my baby shower, while far out, sounds like glorious timing to unwind and settle back into how wonderful this experience is.”I planned time off, ended up having a horrid week (adding that just for context), and had strongly looked forward to the session, more and more as the day was closing in.It was cancelled via text/email the morning of for a reasonable circumstance. I was told I needed to reschedule but was not told what that process looked like. I emailed her that evening asking for information on next steps. I received no answer. I tried again four days later and the next evening after that, decided to message the business via Facebook. I shortly received an email with a message that ‘thanked me for my patience’ but was thoughtful written... there was a link attached to reschedule and I was honestly shocked to find that instead of there being a process to prioritize a cancelled appointment, I had to start from scratch at choosing an appointment time, with the next availability being two weeks out (that’s three weeks after my original appt and seven weeks after I booked/pre-paid). On top of that? There was a possibility, she revealed, that the next appointment could be cancelled too (due to duties that are justifiable and I DID/do value her transparency in this regard).I’ve already been living with pain, I’m sure that’s extremely relatable to many prenatal massage clients, but I felt like this was an inequitable process for rescheduling and have been incredibly disappointed with the way this turned out.I WAS offered and promptly given a refund upon request. I was also given recommendations but the ones I could see pricing for? Not as financially feasible for me as her prices. For the others? One was just a name/number and the remaining, I couldn’t find pricing for — I have anxiety and having to ask about prices and/or cold call a stranger is a process I am not keen to participate in, especially in a state where I already feel more stressed on top of continuing to be in growing discomfort.I did appreciate her attempts to direct me to other services and when I engaged with her, she was absolutely pleasant, transparent, and attentive, which is why I gave three stars. I am absolutely certain that this would be a five star review if things went a little differently.If anything, a goal here is to note that a cancelled appointment may not be promptly rescheduled and it appears that you will not be prioritized if cancelled on.

I happily refer my childbirth education students and my doula clients to Emma for pregnancy or postpartum massages and am always delighted to hear how positive their experiences are. Her hands are magic and her calm, respectful demeanor soothes their souls at the same time. Truly the top in her field, sharonmuza,com

Emma is fantastic! She is very sweet and makes you feel comfortable right away in her studio. I have been to her several times for pre-natal massage and she makes me forget about all the aches and pains of pregnancy. She is very thorough and knowledgeable, and works with what is affecting your body most. I have had pre-natal massages at high end spas, and Emma puts them to shame. Highly recommend her!

I went to Emma for both pre and post natal massages religiously. Regardless of pregnancy Ive always liked deep tissue massages to really get into my knots. During my third trimester I went to Emma twice a month which I always looked forward to and saw as my reward and relief from carrying another LIFE and those extra pounds everyday. My swollen feet and hands felt SO GOOD because Emma would really squeeze and kneed and push that extra fluid out of them. She would pick up on whether Id been going to the gym the last couple weeks based on how my back muscles felt and compliment me for strengthening them. Every time I would come out feeling lighter and brighter physically and mentally. I also scheduled a post-partum massage two month after BB. It was again a reward for myself for making it 2 mo and doing a good job. Even though it was hard to take time for myself, Im so glad I did. By then I was healed but also starting to get the aches/stiffness (different from pre-) for healing in bed and carrying for BB. She knew exactly what areas I needed. Her expertise on being dedicated to pre- and post-natal massage is apparent. She says post-natal is forever ;) and that Ive earned it, so I plan to keep booking her as my reward to myself!

Emma was such a gift during pregnancy and delivery. During my pregnancy I saw her every 2-3 weeks for a pre-natal massage starting at the end of the second trimester and it made a world of difference with my lower back pain, hip pain and tension in my upper back. And with labor and delivery... I would have been lost without Emma as our doula! She was calm, focused and kept me going when I wasnt sure I could. Childbirth is a life-changing experience, and I am so glad I can look back on mine with such positivity - having Emma there was a big part of it. I would absolutely recommend her (and have to many people). It is well worth the investment.

Expecting mothers in Seattle take note: Emma is your new BFF -- shes both an amazing doula AND an amazing massage therapist specializing in prenatal and postnatal massage. Besides being the best doula I could ask for (I have a 4 week old and the only way Id have another child is if Emma is my doula again), looking forward to Emmas restorative massages got me through my pregnancy and postnatal recovery. In the last months of my pregnancy, I would show up at Emmas studio feeling sweaty, swollen and grumpy and leave feeling light, calm and renewed. After giving birth, Emma came to my house to give me a postnatal massage that truly felt like the ultimate gift for my recovering body -- she showed up with all her gear in tow including music! I would hands down recommend Emma for all your doula and massage needs.

Wonderful prenatal massage!
