Specializing in prenatal, postpartum, and infant-focused massage with advanced training in CranioSacral Therapy and medical massage.

Rachel Gabsi has been a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) since 2002, bringing over two decades of experience serving women, infants, and families throughout North Texas. Her clinical focus centers on prenatal and postpartum care, infant support, and gentle CranioSacral Therapy — helping the body relax, regulate, and recover during seasons of growth and transition.

She pursued advanced certifications in prenatal, postpartum, and labor massage, later becoming a certified birth and postpartum doula. Her work continues to focus on helping women feel physically supported and emotionally steadied throughout pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

Rachel joined The Chiropractic Place for Mommy and Me in 2018 and works closely alongside the doctors to support families through massage therapy and CranioSacral techniques that complement nervous-system-centered chiropractic care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Prenatal & Postpartum Massage and CranioSacral Therapy

Families from Aledo, Fort Worth, Weatherford, Walsh Ranch, and surrounding North Texas communities often come to us looking for thoughtful care during pregnancy and early infancy. You have questions? We have answers 💗

  • Yes. Prenatal massage is widely used by expecting mothers to support comfort and relaxation throughout pregnancy. When performed by a massage therapist trained in prenatal care, the techniques and positioning are adapted specifically for the changing needs of a pregnant body.

    At The Chiropractic Place for Mommy and Me in Aledo, our massage therapist has advanced training in prenatal and postpartum care. Each session is carefully tailored to the mother’s stage of pregnancy so she can relax comfortably while her body adapts to the many changes of pregnancy.

    Many mothers from Aledo, Fort Worth, Weatherford, and surrounding North Texas communities include prenatal massage as part of their overall pregnancy wellness routine.

  • Many mothers begin prenatal massage during the second trimester, when posture changes, muscular tension, and physical demands of pregnancy often become more noticeable. Others choose to begin later in pregnancy as their body prepares for birth.

    Prenatal massage can be helpful at many stages of pregnancy depending on a mother’s comfort and goals. Some women schedule occasional sessions for relaxation, while others choose regular visits to support their body as pregnancy progresses.

    Our massage therapist tailors each session to your stage of pregnancy so you feel comfortable and supported throughout this season.

  • As pregnancy progresses, the body experiences changes in posture, weight distribution, and ligament flexibility. These shifts can place additional stress on the lower back, hips, and shoulders.

    Prenatal massage focuses on gently supporting the muscles and soft tissues that help stabilize the body during pregnancy. By releasing areas of tension and encouraging relaxation of the nervous system, many mothers find they move more comfortably and experience less strain throughout the day.

    Many expecting mothers choose to combine prenatal massage with prenatal chiropractic care to support overall comfort and balance during pregnancy here at The Chiropractic Place for Mommy & Me.

  • CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, light-touch therapy that focuses on supporting the nervous system and releasing areas of tension within the body. For babies, this therapy uses extremely soft touch to encourage relaxation and balanced movement in the head, neck, and body.

    Birth can place physical stress on a baby’s body, and some infants carry tension in the jaw, neck, or shoulders. CranioSacral Therapy helps encourage relaxation and natural movement patterns so babies can feel more comfortable as they adjust to life outside the womb.

    At The Chiropractic Place for Mommy and Me, CranioSacral Therapy is often used alongside gentle pediatric chiropractic care to support a baby’s developing nervous system.

  • Some babies who have tongue or lip ties also carry tension in the muscles of the jaw, neck, and shoulders. CranioSacral Therapy uses gentle touch to help relax these areas and support comfortable movement of the mouth and tongue.

    Many families choose CranioSacral Therapy before a tongue tie procedure to help prepare the baby’s body, and again afterward to support relaxation and coordination during feeding.

    Our team at The Chiropractic Place for Mommy and Me frequently works alongside lactation consultants and other pediatric providers to support families navigating feeding challenges.

  • Pregnancy places increased demands on both the body and the nervous system as it adapts to support a growing baby. Massage encourages the body to shift into a more relaxed state by calming the nervous system and reducing physical tension.

    When the nervous system feels supported, the body is often better able to rest, recover, and adapt to the physical changes of pregnancy. Many mothers notice improved relaxation, better sleep, and an overall sense of calm after massage therapy.

    At The Chiropractic Place for Mommy and Me, massage therapy works alongside prenatal chiropractic care to support the nervous system throughout pregnancy.

  • Yes. Many expecting mothers choose both prenatal massage and prenatal chiropractic care at The Chiropractic Place for Mommy & Me because the two approaches complement one another well.

    Massage supports the muscles and soft tissues, while prenatal chiropractic focuses on spinal and pelvic movement and nervous system function. Together, they can help mothers feel more comfortable, more balanced, and more supported as pregnancy progresses.
