Pregnancy and The Months After Asks a Lot of Your Body.
At Babes & Bellies in Long Beach, our prenatal and postnatal massage sessions are here to help you feel cared for through it — restorative, pregnancy-safe bodywork from licensed massage therapists trained in prenatal and postnatal care, in a warm studio built for exactly this kind of pause.
​
Every therapist on our team brings the same foundation of training and care, so you can expect a consistent, safe experience no matter who you see.
​
​
What to Expect
Sessions are available in 50-minute and 80-minute options, so you can choose what fits your schedule and how much time you'd like to spend unwinding.
Your therapist will check in with you before your session to understand how you're feeling that day and tailor the massage accordingly — every pregnancy, and every recovery, is different.
Prenatal or Postnatal — Which Is Right for You?
-
Prenatal massage is available starting after your second trimester, once your pregnancy has reached a safer window for bodywork. It's designed to ease the tension and discomfort that can build up as your body changes — think lower back tightness, hip and leg tension, and general fatigue.
​
-
Postnatal massage is available starting 6 weeks postpartum, once your body has had time to begin its recovery. It's a chance to release tension from the physical demands of feeding, holding, and caring for a new baby, and to simply have a moment that's just for you.

The Babes & Bellies Experience​
​​
Babes & Bellies isn't just a massage studio — we're a pregnancy and family experience destination. Beyond your massage, families come to us for 3D/4D/HD ultrasound sessions, gender determination, belly facials, and belly and baby casting keepsakes, all under one roof. It's a rare combination in Long Beach — most massage studios don't also carry you through the rest of your pregnancy and postpartum journey.
We built this Long Beach studio to feel warm and welcoming, not clinical — a space where you can truly slow down. And as a Black-owned business rooted in this community, we're proud to be a space where every family feels genuinely seen.
​​
Serving Long Beach & Nearby Communities

Our studio is located in Long Beach, and we welcome families from all across the area, including Signal Hill, Lakewood, Carson, Cerritos, Bellflower, Downey, San Pedro, Los Alamitos, and Seal Beach. Many of our families tell us they're happy to travel a little further for the experience — we'd love to be worth the drive for you too.
