prenatal massage and belly rub

Has anyone had a prenatal massage this far along (35w 5d) and had the masseuse rub your belly? This was the third massage I've had pregnant, first one from this masseuse, and she rubbed on and around my belly, which I thought was off limits in prenatal massage. It did not feel good, it was uncomfortable, but she is certified in prenatal and "loves pregnant women," and I just assumed she knows what she's doing. It was very brief, and baby is still moving a lot and feels fine but I'm a bit sore the next day and would not let it happens again. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
