About The Owner
Find Your Balance
Hi, I’m Stephanie Swarts, registered massage therapist, and founder of Lakeside Prenatal Massage.
My mission is pretty simple: TO HELP PREGNANT WOMEN FEEL BETTER!
I’ve been a massage therapist since 2008, but after the experiences of giving birth four times at home with professional midwives, I felt drawn to specialize in prenatal massage to help the women of Norfolk County. I know how important it is to find a self-care routine that relieves stress and physical discomfort, and it is my desire to help make life for pregnant women a little bit easier.
Over the years, I have served as an RMT (Registered Massage Therapist) in a variety of practices around Norfolk County. Currently, I work from a private home-practice in the town of Port Rowan near Lake Erie, Long Point.
In 2022, I took the Maternity Massage Specialist Training Course with EXPERTS of massage therapy for pregnancy, labor, and motherhood.
Using proper equipment and knowledge to confidently handle high-risk and low-risk pregnancies, my goal is to help women feel good, hurt less and sleep better.
Client Reviews
Why Choose Stephanie for a Massage?
Prenatal Clients
Pregnant women typically have a lot of aches, pains and worries. Massage therapy can improve overall prenatal health and should be considered an important option along with regular prenatal care. Massage therapy has been associated with better pregnancy outcomes and reduced risk of premature birth. I am dedicated to giving you my best effort to alleviate your discomforts and help you walk out feeling better than when you came in.
My special prenatal pillows allow for you to feel weightless laying in a face down position- of course, we will only position you according to your comfort. Side-lying or sitting are also options. I am trained to use Young Living pure therapeutic-grade essential oils that are safe in pregnancy for optimal results. If you have allergies you are aware of, please let me know ahead of time, or if you have any of the following concerns, please speak to your doctor to see if there might be a contraindication to receiving massage therapy:
- High Risk Pregnancy
- Pre-Eclampsia
- Severe swelling, high blood pressure, or severe headache*
*Which could be a sign of pre-eclampsia
- Deep Vein Thrombosis
- Placenta Problems
- Recently postpartum (after birth)
I donate $5 from every massage to a charity helping feed, clothe, or give clean water to children in need.
Cleanliness is a top priority to me and I designate time between each appointment to disinfect according to the standards of the CMTO.
I only use 100% pure therapeutic-grade essential oils by Young Living. I have studied this brand for over a decade and believe in the beneficial use of it during treatment.
