Had an amazing experience with Jules for my prenatal massage! She really goes above and beyond to make sure you are completely comfortable! Her space is clean, cute and relaxing. I am feeling so much better after a 75 min session with her! Thanks Jules!
I was 12 weeks postpartum when I went and saw Jules. I was blown away by how personalized she made the massage. She didnt simply ask if there was an area I wanted her to focus on, but asked questions about my pregnancy, delivery, and recovery. The massage was excellent. I will be seeing Jules again!
Wow, simply incredible. Dont trust other local places who claim to do prenatal massage - this is the place to go. Jules was so attentive and caring. She is a true professional and expert. I was too nervous to book anything until I got out of the first trimester, but Im so glad I was able to get a 90 min massage at 36 weeks. It was just what I needed for my achy legs, back, and feet, and I went ahead and booked a post-natal one as well. Cant recommend enough! Jules is the only person in the Portland area who I would trust doing a prenatal massage. You wont regret it!
The absolute best decision I made during my pregnancy and after! My weekly prenatal massage appointments with Julia truly kept me sane; I was so uncomfortable all the time and Julia’s magic hands helped relieve so much tension and discomfort every single time. She is a calming, understanding presence who is also a wealth of knowledge in everything from stretching to pillows! Julia books out months in advance and I completely understand why - she is truly a gift!
Unbelievable prenatal massage with Jules. It was hands down the best massage I’ve ever had. I so appreciated her approach in terms of open communication- I felt comfortable asking for exactly the kind of pressure I wanted, and when I asked her to adjust she was super responsive. Her setup for prenatal patients is very comfy and she does a great job both prepping you for the massage with a through survey, and then debriefing with you afterwards. Can’t recommend her highly enough!
This was hands down the best prenatal massage. There was great communication and a lot of special care around my specific needs during pregnancy. Julia clearly knows what she is doing and applied exactly the right amount of pressure. I would recommend going to Julia to any of my pregnant friends. I would recommend going for a longer session, the 60 mins flew by!
I am SO glad I found Jules. Pregnancy is a challenging and uncomfortable journey - to have some relief is priceless. The studio smells so nice, is extremely clean, and has the perfect setup for my round belly. Jules even gave me some stretches to do at home to keep me comfortable in between appointments. Anyways, I highly recommend - and book your appointment now because Jules is very busy (because everyone knows she is the BEST).
I went to see Jules with my last pregnancy and she was simply amazing. From taking the time to sit and talk before the massage to find out more information about me and my pregnancy, to the fact that prenatal or not they are the best massages I have ever had, to providing stretches that would help….This is an experience you definitely need! I’m also pretty sure she helped me go into labor when I had a massage on my due date. We’ll never know, but I like to give her some of the credit! I’m pregnant again and anxiously awaiting my first scheduled massage!
30 weeks pregnant and went in for my first prenatal massage and Julia did not disappoint. I knew I needed one, but had no idea just how badly. Being able to lay safely on my front side for the first time since the first trimester was also happy tears worthy. If you are pre or post natal, book an appointment now. Julia is so kind, educated and a great listener.
Jules provided a true gift. The massage was amazing, she was accommodating and very easy to be around, the room was comfortable and clean, and being able to lie face down in my third trimester felt great. I am still feeling the benefits of the massage days later– highly recommend!
Julia went above and beyond to make sure my needs were her top priority and took the time to get to know me and my individual pregnancy before the massage began. She customized the intensity of the massage perfectly based on my feedback - I would definitely recommend! The room was clean, cozy and comfortable.
I had my first massage with Jules today (second ever) and it was great! She is very professional and her space is clean and super cute! She asked me a lot of questions and really cared about the quality of my experience. She is very knowledgeable, especially about pregnancy, and as I am pregnant, I felt very safe in her hands :). Bonus- she is fun to chat with! Would recommend Portland Prenatal Massage to anyone, pregnant or not!
Such a great massage. I felt so comfortable and relaxed through the whole experience. I got the best nights sleep that night too - a fleeting experience in the third trimester!
Where to begin? Jules was absolutely amazing! This was the the first time I had a thorough consultation heading into a massage. I really appreciate that on top of the preliminary questioner online. Us Preggos have a lot going on. You could tell she really cared to listen and address all your needs.It’s so nice when a prenatal massage supply’s the appropriate table/pillows to accommodate our pregnant body’s. It’s a rare occasion we can lay face down. I wish I had this set up at home!At the end of the visit we did a brief recap and she wrote down stretches that could benefit me. She was very knowledgeable when it comes to pregnancy and the body.I’d like to add that I was also late to my appointment unfortunately. Jules still took her time and was very thorough. We had to leave a bit out(which was my bad). Still I enjoyed this massage immensely. Cannot recommend her enough. I Can’t wait for my next massage!
I had a great experience with Julie- and have had three massages in later pregnancy, and have to say- they have been the best massages I’ve ever had! She focuses on what you want, takes her time working out the areas that need it, and knows the body very well. She’s super friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to the pregnant body. Very comfy set up for the big belly, and very considerate of making sure you are comfortable every step of the way. Highly recommend her, and can’t wait for my next visit!
Awesome massage! Atmosphere was welcoming and calming. Julia does a great job finding the right pressure by communicating and using pregnancy pillows for comfort! She even spent time after my first appointment to go over helpful stretches for the areas she found more tense. Highly recommend
This was my first massage ever and I was skeptical at first on how comfortable I would be 32 weeks pregnant but Jules is excellent with communication and reassurance. It was the best experience and I left feeling rejuvenated. Would recommend to any mommy!
Jules performed a thorough health interview with me, which resulted in a session that was tailored to my needs. This is important in general, but especially during pre and post natal times when our bodies are changing and have specific needs. Shes easy to talk to, and set the stage so that I didnt feel intimated to ask for things like more/less pressure. Id recommend her to anyone, and I cant wait to have another session with her!
This was literally the BEST massage I have ever had- pregnant or otherwise- bar none. Jules is so amazing- she truly know how to support her clients on an emotional and physical level. I was so grateful for the time I had with her and cannot wait for the next pre-natal massage!
Jules is amazing! The massage was fantastic and personalized to my preferences/needs. She listens really well and addresses any issue areas. She gave me a lot of great advice on stretches to relieve aches. I highly recommend, very professional experience!
I was able to book a half hour appointment at 38 weeks and was very impressed at what Jules could do in that short amount of time! She asked questions to understand how I was feeling and got right to work on problem areas. I like more pressure and was so happy that she was able to do so with the pillow arrangement that she has. I very much am looking forward to my postpartum massages!
Having the best time with Jules at Portland prenatal massage! I was having a lot of low back/hip/sciatic discomfort, among other areas. She is so professional and makes sure your positioning is correct prior to beginning. I have definitely had a lot of benefit and relief after only 2 sessions and have scheduled more. Would definitely recommend!
Julia is the best at what she does! My first appt I was around 34ish weeks pregnant and I felt SO incredibly relaxed and serene after the session, I slept for almost 12 hours that night. My next session I was 38 weeks and she made my body aches and pains melt away. She takes time to talk to you before and after and never once made me feel self conscious or uncomfortable. Her communication is great. Cant wait for my next appt!
Jules is amazing. She uses pregnancy pillows for prenatal massages to help get relief you cant get anywhere else! She listens to requests, have exactly as much pressure as you want, she pays great attention to detail even down to a lavender scented eye pillow. The room is so relaxing, I love everything about Portland Prenatal Massage!
Finding Jules changed my pregnant life! I was struggling with a terrible muscle spasm (I could barely walk) and so frustrated that all other massage therapists were treating me with kid gloves because I was pregnant. As a nurse-midwife, I know massage therapy can be an excellent drug-free treatment for the intense strains of pregnancy. Jules is trained to understand the ACTUAL limitations in pregnancy and safely helped me recover. Jules started by welcoming me to her sanctuary-like treatment room, taking a thorough history, and walking me through the plan of care. She has an open and calm personality perfect for relaxation. And her special table?! Laying face down after so many months of side-lying was GLORIOUS. Every pregnant mama needs to try her table. Coming from someone who has received massage therapy at least monthly for many years, I assure you she is a very highly qualified therapist. Her passion for helping mamas is an asset to our community. She made a huge difference in my health in just 1 session. I continued to see her weekly the last month of pregnancy. I also saw her for a special session to encourage healthy labor. The best was seeing her a couple days postpartum - something I recommend to every mama! Using her special pillows helped to keep my chest from getting squashed during the massage. Not to mention the wonderful attention to areas affected by the rigors of labor (who knew my calves and feet would carry tension?) So, long story short, she is a miracle-worker for us preggos.
I really loved this massage experience. Jules was very responsive to my requests, and made some helpful observations and suggestions about how to do some of my own healing post-sessions. She was also flexible with some a scheduling conflict. Highly recommend.
I walked out of my first appointment feeling like a new human—and as someone in the middle of their third trimester, it was such a relief! The whole experience was lovely, from the initial communication to the massage itself, and everything was tailored to my specific needs. Jules is incredible at what she does!
Portland Prenatal Massage is what got me through my very difficult pregnancy. I suffered from all-day morning sickness the entire pregnancy, plus bouts of migraines and horrible heartburn. After my first massage I felt such a relief. It did not make all my symptoms go away, but just the relief from them was enough to make me want to go back. I started going monthly and towards the end I went every two weeks. I remember on multiple occasions, laying on the table, feeling like I could cry because of how good I felt in that moment, and so thankful for a break from feeling so bad. Jules is amazing. She is so knowledgeable about what a pregnant woman needs and where all the aches and pains are. She checks in on you a day or so after each massage. I recently went back for my first massage post-baby... it was heaven. I will continue to go here for my new-mama self care- and am thankful it’s not just for pre-natal women!
Jules was amazing! Best massage I have ever had. Her set up to allow you to lie face down while pregnant is perfect and so comfortable.
I heard about Portland Prenatal Massage through a coworker, and I’m so glad I did. This is the best massage I’ve ever gotten. Julie is so talented and professional. I feel very safe being there in regards to Covid. I am currently pregnant, but will continue to see her after my pregnancy and beyond. I can’t imagine going to anyone else after her. She is pure gold.
I would highly recommend Jules at Portland Prenatal Massage! I started seeing her during my third pregnancy with lower back pain and sciatic issues bilaterally. I received relief after my first session! I found it so helpful that after my seasonal place in Old Orchard Beach closed, I continued to drive two hours from Massachusetts for my sessions!
It was a bit tricky to schedule my prenatal massage (PPM was booked out +4 months which was past my due date), but I was able to get in on someone elses canceled spot. The massage was wonderful and the set up was perfect for my 3rd trimester pregnant belly and I felt very secure comfortable and relaxed.
Portland Prenatal Massage was exactly what I needed, both before the birth of my son, and after! Jules has special pillows that allow pregnant women to lay flat on their front, which feels heavenly after only laying on your back or side for many months. She is also very knowledgeable about how to work on the pregnant and postpartum body. Highly recommend Jules and Portland Prenatal Massage.
I had a lot of hip and shoulder pain during my pregnancy and I loved how relaxed I felt during my experience at Portland Prenatal massage! She gave me a lot of great advice for stretching afterwards, personalized my experience and always made sure I was comfortable. Highly recommend!
What an incredible find! Im 6 months postpartum and feeling the aches and pains of early motherhood. Its clear just from an introductory 30 minute session that Ive found the perfect place for a moment of peace (that also helps me heal!)
Absolutely the most amazing massage therapist ever. Love Julia and I get 90 minutes monthly. She has kept me going for years.
Excellent care at Portland Prenatal Massage! Jules is so careful to make sure you get what you need out of the session. Saw her for help with postpartum aches and pains and floated out of there afterward. Highly recommend!
Such a wonderful experience! Julia was thoughtful and worked hard to make sure all my concerns were heard and addressed. The setting alone was so relaxing, never mind the massage itself! I would go again and I would absolutely recommend to a friend.
Best massage my daughter ever had hands down! Listened to her needs, personable, made her feel comfortable, helped her pain. Definitely recommend and will be coming back!!!!
Jules is awesome! She listens and focuses on areas of concern while making you as comfortable as possible. Absolutely recommend for any stage of pregnancy!
This was my first massage ever -— and I have to say it was an excellent experience! She was very intuitive and really hit the places of tension in my body (of which there is a lot) in a skilled way, with just the right amount of pressure. I was very impressed, and will definitely be going back. Highly recommend!! 👌🏻
Highly recommend! Personalized services for pregnant and post-partum women in need of relaxation. She spent time on the areas I needed the most help on and communicated with me through the process. I felt great after and will definitely be going back!
The best place HANDS DOWN !!! she was amazing and so informative, she explained the toll our body takes when pregnant and afterwards and why prenatal care is so beneficial!! I did a 90 minute session and it was heavenly I will be doing this regularly as its helped me amensly with my lower back and my neck and my feet !! I have slept like a baby and before I was having such bad pregency insomnia. 👎 but now I feel like a new person. Shes friendly , very dedicated to making her clients as comfortable as possible and personalizing the massge to their wants and needs as every womans body is diffrent .
I had the most wonderful experience with my first prenatal massage with Julie! She is great and very attentive and made me feel very comfortable! Highly recommendedItyara
The best massage. Julia is a wonderful massage therapist. She does both deep tissue massage and lymphatic on me and has for years now. I have Lyme disease among other things and lots of muscle and joint pain. I don’t know what I would do without her help. Thank you Julia 🌟🌟🌟
It is a delight to be able to lay on your stomach while pregnant. My back was able to be worked in ways that are not possible while side lying. The pressure was perfect and the environment was good! Be sure to visit the website ahead of time to familiarize yourself with the parking. Scheduled again for the end of the month!
Jules was the most attentive and custom masseuse I’ve been to. She nailed my problem areas and gave me great advice and stretches to do at home. I’ll definitely be back!
Currently pregnant with a lot of aches/pains. Julia was so professional and easy to communicate with. After leaving, I felt almost normal and much more relaxed.
Best massage of my life! I’m so glad I booked it for my third trimester when I was really needing some stress relief and feeling sore.
Julia is so in tune with what you need at that moment. Very professional, easy to talk to, and expert with all those pregnancy pillows!
Truly the best massage Ive ever had. Amazing during my pregnancy, amazing after. Highly recommend.
Fantastic massage that provided so much relief! Absolutely would recommend to ANYONE, but especially pregnant mamas.
Amazing massages! I always felt comfortable and relaxed. Great communication and value. Highly recommend!
Great massage, right amount of pressure and a comfy set up for pregnant bellies! Looking forward to my next visit.
One word, AMAZING. She makes you feel so comfortable and trusting of her. Already scheduled for my next visit !!
Fantastic prenatal massage! I had a great experience and would highly recommend!
Wonderful prenatal massage, thoughtful and personalized. I wish I could go every day!
Such a relief in pregnancy to get a *real* massage! The bolsters are a game-changer.
Best massage I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to go back.
Highly recommend it for postnatal message
