As many of you know, your body totally needs pampering when you are pregnant. Anybody have a good massage place that is lisenced in pre-natal massage that isn't over the top expensive, and that is in the Northern Burbs?
I love love love Rita Dirito Surgal. She was my doula and massage therapist for 2 pregnancies (1 a twin pregnancy). She also came to the hospital after the kids were born and did a post-natal massage which was the most fabulous massage of my life. Her number is ###-###-####.
Hi E.,
There is a Mom on here who does Reiki massages, I actually posted on her business site b/c I had such a nice and relaxing experience. Her name is Rhonda and she came to my home. I know she will travel depending on how far, and she also does Reiki in her home.
Just a thought!!
Good luck to you!

I would try a place called Thereaputic Kneads in Highland Park. It is in a medical building on Elm Place or Park Avenue, I'm not sure. They specialize in massages of all kinds. It is very affordable, and the staff is so kind and gentle.
Good Luck

My sister is a massage therapist and she does pre-natal massage as well. She can be contacted at ###-###-#### and her name is Avital.

I am a massage therapist, but not trained in pre-natal massage (so I am pretty picky when it comes to massages). When I was pregnant, I started to get what probably would've turned into sciatica, but I caught it early on and got a few massages from Laura at Womancare in Palatine ###-###-####). Womancare is actually a group of OB doctors, and their Palatine office offers massage. The massages were only $60 or $65, which is a good price.
I also had a pre-natal massage at Inner Spa at Condell. It was my first of many!
Susan L. Gray does superb prenatal massage. She has an office in Evanston at Wellspring Integrative Medicine on Sherman. I went to her when i was pregnant with both of my boys and still go - and i introduced her to my mom and she goes twice a month! Her number is ###-###-####.
I had a very nice pregnancy massage at the Inner Spa at Condell when I was pregnant. You should check it out. It's a very nice spa and everyone is very professional.
