Carrying Life, Cared for Like Royalty: Prenatal Massage & the Baby Bump Facial at Brisa
Pregnancy changes everything — your body, your energy, your emotions, the way you move through the world. At Brisa Medical Spa & Wellness Center, we believe that this extraordinary chapter deserves an extraordinary kind of care: gentle, expert, and designed with your changing body in mind. Our Prenatal Massage has long been a must-have ritual for expecting mothers in Escazú and beyond — and this month, we're thrilled to introduce a beautiful new addition to that care: the Baby Bump Facial.
The Prenatal Massage: Relief, Reconnection, Relaxation
Carrying a baby asks a lot of your body. Shifting posture, swelling, tense shoulders, an aching lower back — it's a lot to hold, literally. Our prenatal massage is performed by therapists trained specifically in pregnancy-safe techniques, using supportive positioning and gentle, targeted pressure to ease the tension that builds in the hips, back, legs, and shoulders.
The benefits go beyond comfort:
Reduces back, hip, and leg tension as your center of gravity shifts
Improves circulation, helping to ease swelling in the legs and feet
Lowers stress hormones and promotes deeper, more restful sleep
Creates a quiet, guided moment of connection with your baby
Leaves you feeling lighter, calmer, and cared for
When to do it: Prenatal massage is generally safe from the second trimester onward, though many mothers continue enjoying it right up until delivery. We always recommend a quick conversation with your OB-GYN and our team beforehand, so we can tailor the session safely to your trimester and any specific needs.
New This Month: The Baby Bump Facial — A Love Letter to Your Belly
If the prenatal massage cares for your whole body, our newest treatment, the Baby Bump Facial, is a tender, dedicated moment just for your growing belly — and for many mothers, it will be something even sweeter: baby's very first spa experience. Long before your little one arrives, they're already right there with you, held in warmth and gentle care. It's a light-touch hydration ritual — never deep pressure, always gentle — using rich hydrating creams and anti-stretch-mark formulas, layered with the comfort of warm towels and a warming blanket. It's simple, deeply nourishing, and performed with real love and care from our team.
Why your belly deserves this:
Deeply hydrates skin that's stretching and changing week by week
Helps support skin elasticity, working alongside your skincare routine to care for stretch marks
The warmth and gentle touch offer genuine relaxation, not just for you — many mothers say it feels like a quiet moment shared with baby
A beautiful, early bonding ritual — baby's first taste of being pampered, wrapped in warmth alongside you
A beautiful way to slow down and celebrate your changing body, rather than just "get through" it
When to do it: The Baby Bump Facial can be enjoyed throughout the second and third trimester, whenever your skin is asking for a little extra love — and it pairs beautifully with a prenatal massage for a full afternoon of pampering.
Designed With an OB-GYN, Not Just a Spa Menu
What makes Brisa different is that our prenatal and postpartum offerings aren't a generic spa add-on — they're a full program thoughtfully designed alongside Dra. Guriya Nandwani Seth, OB-GYN, co-founder of Brisa. Every treatment is chosen with real medical understanding of what a pregnant or postpartum body needs, and what it should avoid. From your first trimester through your fourth-trimester recovery, our team is here to support you safely, every step of the way.
In Our Mothers' Own Words
We could tell you how special the prenatal massage experience is — but we'd rather let our mothers do the talking. (And with the Baby Bump Facial just launching, we can't wait to start collecting stories like these about it too.)

A Pregnancy Ritual Worth Making Time For
Pregnancy is fleeting — nine months that pass faster than you expect. Giving yourself an hour of true rest, expert touch, and gentle care isn't a luxury you have to justify; it's part of taking care of the person doing the incredible work of growing a life. At Brisa, we'd be honored to be part of that journey.
