- Where & when
- 150 Pioneer Trail, Chaska, MN 55318 — Chaska Commons at Hwy 41 and Pioneer Trail. Open daily · Mon–Sat 9 AM–9 PM · Sun 9:30 AM–9 PM. Flat surface lot directly in front of the door.
— The pillow stack
How you'll be positioned.
Thirty-four weeks, parked in the lot, engine still running, working out whether this is a good idea. That is a very ordinary way to arrive here, and the thing being weighed in the car is nearly always the same one: what is going to be asked of a body that can't lie flat any more.
You'll be on your side, on a standard table. There is no table here with a hole cut in it for a belly and no inflatable belly cushion either — those exist, they get sold to spas, and we don't use one. The therapist starts you on whichever side you've been sleeping on and builds the support around you from there. It takes two or three minutes, and it gets rebuilt at least once when you turn over partway through.
Everything the session covers happens at that height — back, hips, shoulders, legs, feet, hands, scalp if you want it. And if a position stops working ten minutes in, which happens, the therapist rebuilds the pile around the new position instead of asking you to hold the old one. That is the whole job. Nobody is going to sigh about it.
- Side-lying on a standard table — never face-down, never on a cut-out cushion.
- Bolster between the knees, pillow under the bump, pillow under the head, towels for the gaps.
- You turn over partway through, with help, and the support is rebuilt on the other side.
- Sheets and blanket stay on. You're uncovered only where the therapist is working.
- Room temperature, lighting and music are all adjustable — say the word.
— Three questions at the desk
What we ask before we start.
The intake is short — a couple of minutes at the desk, mostly three questions. None of it is a medical screening; we're not qualified to run one. It's simply how the therapist knows what to build and what to leave alone.
How far along are you?
Weeks if you know them, trimester if you don't. It decides how the room gets set up — how many bolsters come out, how high the pillows stack, how often we plan to help you turn over. Many providers prefer people to wait until after the first trimester; if you're earlier, have a quick word with yours before you book.
What has your OB or midwife said?
This is the question that matters most, and the one we'd like you to arrive with an answer to. We are a relaxation and wellness studio, not a clinic. On this subject your own provider outranks anything a spa website tells you — including this page.
If they've given you guidance about massage, tell us and we'll work inside it. If they've said to hold off, we'll hold off; call when they say go and the booking will still be there. If your pregnancy is high-risk, or anything at all has come up, ask them before you book rather than after. Rebooking costs nothing. Guessing on your behalf is not something we'll do.
What's already uncomfortable today?
Where you're stiff, where you don't want to be touched, what's changed since last time. Some people don't want their belly touched at all — an ordinary request, and you don't owe anyone a reason for it. Tell the therapist and it simply doesn't happen.
— The short booking
Why there's a 30-minute option.
Most of the menu starts at 30 minutes because plenty of people only want their neck and shoulders done. The prenatal 30 exists for a different reason: lying still for a full hour isn't always possible, and there's no sense paying for an hour you'll spend wanting to get up.
So the ladder is short and published — 30 min $55, 45 min $65, 1 hr $80, all three on the full price list. The 45 sits in between deliberately: long enough for the back, hips and legs without committing you to a full hour.
Booking the short one isn't booking a lesser version: same therapist, same room, same set-up, and the cushions get built either way. And if you book an hour and want to stop at forty minutes, say so and we stop — getting up to use the bathroom mid-session is expected rather than an interruption.
— Saying so, mid-session
What to tell us during the session.
A massage is one of the very few appointments where you're allowed to interrupt the professional mid-sentence. Please do.
Therapists read your breathing and your shoulders, which is a decent signal and a long way from mind-reading. Pregnancy widens the gap: what was fine last week can be wrong this week, and the only person who knows that is you.
- Pressure — too much, not enough, or fine everywhere except that one spot.
- Temperature. A room that felt right in the lobby often isn't ten minutes later.
- Anything that feels off — lightheaded, queasy, pins and needles in an arm. Say it immediately; we stop and sit you up. There is no version of this where you push through to be polite.
- Needing the bathroom. Twice is fine. Three times is fine.
- Wanting to stop. No explanation required and none will be asked for.
- Wanting quiet. Plenty of guests go silent five minutes in and stay that way.
— Chaska City Code 5.12
What the city requires of every therapist here.
Minnesota does not license massage therapists at the state level — no state board, no state exam, no state-issued title. Which means the credential that actually governs who works on you here is a municipal one.
Chaska issues it. Under City Code Chapter 5, Article 5.12, every individual therapist practising inside the city has to hold a City of Chaska massage therapist permit — and to get one you must document 400+ hours of accredited training, carry $1,000,000 in personal liability insurance, and hold current national association membership with ABMP or AMTA. The studio needs a separate establishment licence on top of that, which involves a Chaska Police background check and a vote of the City Council.
That's a fact about the city rather than a boast about us, which is exactly why it's worth knowing: every legally operating studio inside city limits cleared the same bar, and the bar is public. (Minnesota did pass a bill in 2026 creating an optional statewide registration, but it doesn't begin until July 2028 — it does not exist today.) The whole of it is unpicked in our guide to massage licensing in Chaska.
— The flat lot
The walk from the car is the easy part.
We're at 150 Pioneer Trail, in Chaska Commons at Highway 41 and Pioneer Trail. That reads like ordinary directions until you're 34 weeks along, at which point it becomes the most useful sentence on the page: a flat surface lot directly in front of the door, accessible spaces at the entrance. No ramp, no elevator, no meter, no three-block walk from a parking structure in February. You park, you cross a few yards on the level, you're inside.
That is deliberately the whole of the geography here. Drive times from every neighbouring town are on our Carver County page — but this late on, the last hundred feet matter more than the first six miles.
Booking a prenatal session
We're open seven days — Open daily · Mon–Sat 9 AM–9 PM · Sun 9:30 AM–9 PM — and we take walk-ins whenever a therapist is free. For prenatal, calling first is the better move: the cushions take a few minutes to stack, and it's a nicer arrival when the room is built before you open the door. Book online, call or text (612) 600-9298, or see what's open tonight.
One more thing, since it comes up. If you've had your eye on the futon (Thai) session — that happens on a mat on the floor with assisted stretching, so it isn't the booking for right now. It'll still be there afterwards.

Please let us know how far along you are when you book so the therapist can set the room up for you. If your pregnancy is high-risk, check with your provider first.
Gratuity isn't included in the listed prices. Tell us how far along you are when you book so the room is set up before you arrive, and tell us anything your OB or midwife has advised — we work inside it. If your pregnancy is high-risk or anything has come up, talk to them before booking.
— Before you book
Questions we get
most often.
Still unsure? Call (612) 600-9298 — someone at the front desk will actually pick up.
How far along do I need to be for prenatal massage?
Tell us what stage you're at when you book and we'll set the room up accordingly. Many providers prefer to wait until after the first trimester; if you're early on, it's worth a quick word with your own provider before booking.
Is prenatal massage safe?
Prenatal massage is widely offered and many people receive it comfortably throughout pregnancy — we set you up side-lying with bolsters and cushions rather than face-down. But we're not clinicians: if your pregnancy is high-risk or you have any complication, check with your OB or midwife first, and tell us what they advise so we can work within it.
Do I need a note or clearance from my OB or midwife?
We don't ask for paperwork and there's no form to bring. What we do ask is what your provider has told you about massage, so we can work inside it. If they've said to wait, we'll wait — call us back when they say go. If you haven't asked them yet and anything about your pregnancy is unusual or high-risk, ask first: a rebooked appointment costs nothing, and that call was never ours to make.
Do I have to undress?
Only as far as you're comfortable. For oil massage most people undress to their underwear; you're under a sheet the whole time and the therapist only uncovers the area being worked on. For futon (Thai) massage and reflexology you stay fully clothed.
What if I need to stop early or change position halfway through?
Then we stop, or we rebuild the cushions around the position that works now. Neither one is a problem and neither one needs an explanation. Comfort moves around a lot in the third trimester, so a session that gets rearranged twice is an ordinary session here, not a difficult one.
Can I book a 30-minute prenatal session instead of an hour?
Yes — $55 for 30 minutes, $65 for 45, $80 for an hour. The short booking exists precisely because lying still for a full hour isn't always realistic. You get the same therapist, the same room and the same side-lying set-up; the session is just shorter.
Where do I park?
We're at 150 Pioneer Trail, Chaska, MN 55318, in the Chaska Commons retail centre. It's a surface lot directly in front of the door — no ramp, no meters, no street parking hunt, and accessible spaces right by the entrance.
What if I need to cancel or I'm running late?
Call (612) 600-9298 as soon as you know. If you're late we'll do whatever we can, but a session that starts late usually has to end on time so we don't push into the next guest's appointment.
