I have an AMAZING contact for prenatal massage. Her name is Robin Ordan. She is in Connecticut but I believe she will travel. She is specifically trained in prenatal massage, but what makes her uniquely qualified is her experience as an MSW and her extensive research in attachment theory. She does a lovely infant massage series as well. I can't recommend her highly enough. Everyone who I have referred to her has been thrilled.
Robin can be reached at ordanr@...
Sharon Okun who is in Armonk is also WONDERFUL...but I believe that she may be on a maternity leave at the moment??? She can be reached at sokun@...
I am always hesitant to refer women to spas where the training for a prenatal massage may not be very thorough. It is worth the effort to find someone who specializes in pregnancy and is aware of not only the physical but the emotional issues of pregnancy, labor and birth.
Good Luck,
Janet Donat

Mindy,
I'm not sure if anyone in our group does massage, but I know a lot of day spas also offer prenatal massage. One that I've been to (not for prenatal) was Epidavros Day Spa in Mount Kisco. When I was there there were 2 pregnant women there waiting for their massage. I spoke to one before while we were both waiting and she said it was the second time she was there for a prenatal massage and that they were great. But again, I think most day spas now offer that.
