Massage Therapy.
Specializing in deep tissue massage therapy for prenatal, postnatal and non-natal women, Glow® NYC offers a luxury healing journey, not simply a massage.
Physical bodywork is foundational to holistic prenatal, postpartum and lifelong healthcare, and Glow® treatments promote stress relief, reduced swelling, and pain relief. Tailored to your needs, learn about c-section scar care and so much more.
Your FSA, HSA or Insurance might cover your massage treatments - find out how HERE.
The Glow NYC Experience
Available for prenatal, postnatal and non-natal clients.
Our signature experience starts with a warm foot bath ritual, followed by a dry body scrub, then 90 minutes of deep tissue massage therapy and a hydrating facial refresher to finish. You can book our private en suite bathroom to shower and prep for the rest of your day.
Come in monthly (or more!) until the last 4 weeks, then weekly until birth. Treatment includes footbath, dry body brushing, facial refresher, massage and thermal foot treatment.
Prenatal Massage
Our award-winning deep-tissue prenatal treatments are everything. We work on cushioned hydraulic tables and cradle your evolving physique with customized bolsters for ultimate comfort.
Come in monthly (or more!) until the last 4 weeks, then weekly until birth. Treatment includes a facial refresher and organic massage oil.
Postnatal Massage
No one needs a massage more than a new mom. We’re experts in the postpartum body: Engorged breasts? We’ll add bolsters for your comfort. Sore from baby-holding and feeding? We’ll focus on the precise muscles causing you pain.
Come in as soon as you’ve figured out how to be away from baby for an hour or more - maybe that’s the week after you give birth, maybe it’s 3 months later, everyone is unique. Treatment includes a warm wheat bag for your stomach & lower back, and a research-backed blend of essential oils for tissue healing and mood lifting.
*C-Section Healing & Abdominal Massage: All of our therapists are trained to encourage organ re-alignment, increase visceral circulation and safely prevent scar tissue complications through abdominal massage. Talk to your therapist about your needs during your intake.
Non-Natal Massage
You do not have a Glow® expiration date! We treat women at any age and stage of life - in fact, only 50% of our clients are pregnant or postpartum. Whether you’re needing deep technical work or general wellness maintenance, we’re here for you. Treatment includes a facial refresher and organic massage oil. During the winter months, treatment includes a warm wheat bag for your stomach & lower back

Why I Love This Work
I gain a rare insight into how we are all ultimately connected in our human experience; birth is one of two undeniable links to the universal picture.
My Ideal Local Day
Sleep in, coffee in bed, read the paper, cuddle with my kids, see them off to some sort of childcare, a long day at the Korean spa, home for a delicious dinner and gorgeous bottle of wine.

My Ideal Local Day
A workout followed by a hearty brunch with my twin brother, and then a nap and a good movie.
