Who is eligible
This offering is restricted to the second and third trimesters unless the therapist’s certification and your protocols specifically permit first-trimester treatment. Before booking, confirm your trimester and any provider requirements during intake so the therapist can verify eligibility and follow the appropriate protocols for your visit.
The session structure is fixed: 80 minutes of hands-on bodywork plus 10 minutes of service preparation. That 10-minute window is used for intake, positioning and any safety checks, so scheduling should allow the full 90 minutes to avoid rushed preparation or shortened hands-on time.
What happens during session
Your therapist uses pregnancy-conscious methods: supportive positioning and pressure tailored to comfort. The work concentrates on common pregnancy areas—lower back, hips and legs—while adapting strokes and timing to your comfort. The therapist will check pressure and positioning throughout the 80 minutes of hands-on time to maintain a restorative, comfortable experience.
Because positioning is adjusted for pregnancy, some conventional techniques are modified or omitted. That trade-off prioritizes comfort and safety over replicating a standard non‑pregnancy massage. Expect brief conversational pauses for repositioning and to confirm pressure and comfort during the session.
Scheduling and logistics
Studio Chique is located in Washington’s Langdon neighborhood and offers convenient access for commuters from nearby areas and Metro stations like Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and Brookland-CUA. We offer flexible early-morning and evening booking to accommodate parents, commuters and shift workers balancing family and work schedules.
The service is priced at $199 for a 90-minute appointment. If you’re planning a weekend visit to the U.S. National Arboretum or Union Market, consider pairing this session with one of our self-care packages. Arrive a few minutes early to complete intake so your full 80 minutes of hands-on time is preserved.
