Prenatal Massage in Ithaca, NY
These massages are tailored to the unique experience and needs of pregnant women and pregnant people’s changing body during this time, utilizing positions and techniques to offer physical and emotional support and relief. Sessions can be done face down with the support of a specialized pregnancy bolster and face up utilizing a lifted table, or side-lying, based on your comfort.
On top of the usual benefits of healing touch, receiving massage during pregnancy can help with fatigue, aches and pains associated with the readjustment of the spine and pelvis, including low back pain, as well as head aches and swelling. Care that decreases stress and supports the body’s intuitive wisdom and health is essential to navigating this right of passage in our fast paced modern times. It is a true privilege to hold supportive loving space during this phase of life.

Deep Winter Refuge Retreat - Great for pregnancy!
“Quite simply the best massage therapist I have ever engaged with. The techniques are intuitive, strong, but tender. Ilana is very natural and comfortable to be with. I never feel this is a job for her, but a true calling.”
“I loved my massage. Ilana’s hands felt healing and present. Afterwards I felt balanced and relaxed and the effect lasted several days. I haven’t experienced such a long-lasting effect with other massage therapists.
A heartfelt Thank you. ”
“I have found massage therapy to be essential to my overall well being. Your sincere, thoughtful patience in understanding what my needs were drew me back. Over time I have come to appreciate Ilana’s magic touch and the way her massage releases stress, relaxes areas of extreme tension and leaves me feeling an overall renewed, rejuvenated well being.
What keeps me coming back is her gentle, nonjudgmental way of seeing me as a whole. Never do I feel less than when I’m in her presence. I am really impressed with her overall knowledge of the body and what to do for any given challenge or situation. She offers wonderful tips and things I can do between visits to stay limber, relaxed and take care of myself.”
“Ilana’s gift of healing is beyond description. Sometimes I can ask for something specific and receive just that, but more often it is just magic to arrive in her sphere and receive the wisdom of her healing touch. It is more than just pain relief. You listened and have come along on the journey. Always meeting me right where I am. It is profoundly energetic and spiritual and comes through in both private massage, yoga classes and the Art of Relaxation. Thank you.”
“I think your work is magnificent- I love your yoga classes (you do a perfectly appropriate amount of reflective talking in the beginning, giving us food for thought as we move through class). Your classes are also easy to “scale” up or down in difficulty, depending on how sore I am from other physical activities. As for massage, I think you are a Touch Goddess and you always make me feel divine. You also have a very ‘clean’ energy which doesn’t leave me feeling anything other than myself afterward.”
“Ilana is a fabulous masseuse who really cares about her clients, even to the point of referring them elsewhere if she thinks someone else can better address their needs. She’s a rare find!”
