Prenatal Massage
Can anyone please recommend a place or a practitioner that does good prenatal massage in Berkeley/Oakland or nearby? Ideally low fee/sliding scale. I'd like to go weekly if affordable. Thanks in advance!

I could not recommend Glow Massage - http://www.gloweastbay.com/ - more highly. They were the only place willing to actually give me a good massage while pregnant instead of just gently poking me so as to not disturb the baby. Not low fee/sliding scale though (that I know of).
I recommend Glow in Oakland! You can check out other reviews on Yelp. They specialize in prenatal massage and have a flat fee of $100 for an hour massage, but they do not accept tips, so you don't have to worry about spending any more. I am not sure if they would offer a package deal or lower price for a shorter massage but it can't hurt to ask!
Lori Colombo, Massage for Moms, is fantastic. Reasonable prices/not sure if she'd do sliding scale.
Glow Massage and Bitth Support. I got my first and only prenatal massage with them at 39 weeks and it may have been the best massage I've ever had. Really wish I had found them sooner. They specialize in prenatal and postnatal massage and offer doula/midwifery support as well. I found the cost very reasonable and they offer discount packages as well.
good luck!!
I went to Glow in Oakland while I was pregnant this summer and they were incredible. They specialize in prenatal massage. Highly recommend!
Catalina Antonio in Berkeley - her email is homebodywc [at] gmail.com
She is 100% amazing with prenatal massage!!!!!!!
I recommend Christine D'Allance for prenatal massage. I saw her once a week in my third trimester, and I'm so glad I did! it was a *wonderful* gift to myself.
She does 60- and 90-minute sessions, and you can book online at https://dallancemassage.com/booking/
